Hold'em table

With a weak but positionally advantaged button hand, I will raise to put pressure on the blinds and take control of the pot.

AK suited is a strong three-bet from the small blind against a button open. Raising to 1200 pressures the opener and discourages the big blind from entering cheaply.

Holding 7h 3c facing an open and a 3-bet preflop is an easy fold.

7s5d is a weak offsuit hand facing a large small-blind 3-bet; calling 900 more out of position with poor playability is not profitable, so folding is best.

T8 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, with position and good postflop playability.

Fold weak offsuit ace from the small blind against a button open.

4-6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise, especially out of position; folding avoids bleeding chips.

J7o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

Getting 3:1 pot odds to call 50 more with a speculative hand heads-up; I can see a flop and fold if I miss.

With 5-3 offsuit against a small-blind limp, I can see the flop for free rather than build a pot out of position with a weak hand.

Flopped top pair with a backdoor heart draw in a limped pot; betting for value and to protect against overcards and flush draws.

An ace or six completes my straight, giving me eight potential outs. Calling preserves my draw without building a large pot against the flop bet.

I have middle pair and the turn Q likely doesn't help the passive opponent's flop-call range much. Betting for value and protection against draws and worse pairs, planning to fold to a raise.

I have an open-ended straight draw, but the turn call costs 300 into an 800-chip pot. The immediate odds are insufficient, and I cannot count on enough river value when I hit.

79o is a marginal but playable button hand in 3-handed play; raising applies pressure on the blinds and lets me take initiative with position.

7-2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a three-big-blind raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

T7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.

KQs is a strong button opening hand three-handed, so I raise for value while keeping the pot manageable.

Pocket threes out of position with the big blind left to act face negative expected value from set-mining against a 2.5x open.

Q6o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise; folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand for 150 more chips.

Opening from the button with suited King-eight to steal the blinds or play in position.

5h7d is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, and calling 200 would invite further aggression from the big blind. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

J6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise. I’ll fold rather than commit more chips with a marginal hand.
