Hold'em table

Q6o is at the very bottom of the button opening range in 3-handed play; folding is standard and avoids postflop reverse implied odds.

T6 offsuit is too weak to open the pot from the button three-handed, and limping into two blind players gives poor equity and bad playability postflop. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

K8 offsuit is strong enough to complete from the small blind at this price, but raising risks building a pot out of position against the big blind.

I check my option with K3o to see a free flop in position against the small blind's limp.

A small stab can fold out some of the big blind’s unpaired hands, and I have a backdoor diamond draw if called.

I hold King-high with no made pair or direct draw on a Queen-high board. Facing a bet, folding K3 offsuit is standard.

Blind vs blind with an Ace blocker; raising to 3bb to apply pressure and take down the blinds preflop.

T2o is nearly the worst hand I can hold, and facing a 3x raise from the small blind after the button folds, calling 200 more has no equity edge or implied odds. Folding is clearly the best EV play.

86 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button even in 3-handed play.

AJo suited is a strong heads-up hand against the big blind after the button folds; raising to 3x builds the pot with value and fold equity rather than just limping.

A♠5♦ has enough equity against a small-blind open to defend, but calling keeps the pot manageable with a weak offsuit ace out of position.

I have the nut-flush draw, but on a monotone board a bet risks running into a made flush or a check-raise. Checking keeps the pot small while preserving my chance to improve.

I have the nut-flush draw and can apply pressure after the preflop raiser checked twice. A modest turn bet gives me a chance to win now while building the pot when a diamond hits.

63 offsuit from the button is far too weak to call a full BB into a 150 pot with 100bb stacks; folding is clearly the most profitable line.

Q5 suited is weak but playable heads-up from the small blind at a favorable price. I’ll complete rather than inflate the pot out of position.

Holding T8o in the big blind facing an SB limp, checking to see a free flop in position is standard.

With only queen-high and no immediate draw, betting into the big blind’s check has little value. I’ll take the free turn and preserve the chance to improve.

We have very little showdown value or draw strength on a King-Jack-Two board, so taking a free turn in position is standard.

I have only queen-high with a gutshot and no spade, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into a three-spade board.

I have a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw with the eight of spades; checking back lets me realize equity for free in a limped pot.

My queen kicker gives some showdown value on this paired board, and betting is unlikely to fold better hands while worse hands may simply fold. I’ll take the free showdown.

Checking down to showdown with Ten-high kicker; bluffing into a checked-down limped pot carries too much risk against weak pairs that may stubbornly call.

Q3 offsuit is weak, but from the button it is a reasonable steal attempt with position; a small raise applies pressure without overcommitting.

A4s has excellent blocker value and postflop playability, making it a prime candidate for a 3-bet out of the small blind against a button open.

Seven-three offsuit is nearly unplayable, and facing a 3-bet to 950 out of position leaves me with no realistic equity or fold equity. Folding and saving 850 chips is clearly the best play.

Q♦3♣ is a weak offsuit hand, and calling a substantial three-bet out of position to the small blind would be unprofitable.
