Hold'em table

3d5d suited is a weak hand from the button in a 3-handed game; while suited connectors-ish have some playability, 53s is marginal and folding is fine, though a raise could be considered. Opting for a conservative fold.

Seven-three offsuit has poor playability and equity realization out of position. Without evidence that the big blind overfolds, folding is preferable to completing or bluff-raising.

K3 offsuit is a marginal but reasonable small button open in a three-handed, rake-free game. A minimum raise uses position and a king blocker to contest the blinds while limiting the investment.

KTs is strong against a three-handed button opening range. A three-bet applies pressure, discourages the big blind from entering, and retains good postflop playability when called.

J5 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3-bet out of position with the original raiser still to act; folding loses only the blind.

K3 offsuit is too weak to defend against this four-times-open three-bet, even in position. Its domination risk and poor equity realization make folding preferable to calling or bluffing.

T4 suited is a marginal button open with weak pair value and limited straight potential. With no reads suggesting the blinds overfold, I prefer folding this bottom-end hand.

Button folded, so it's SB vs BB heads-up; 76o is a reasonable open-raise in a blind-vs-blind spot with position disadvantage mitigated by fold equity. Raise to 3bb as a standard SB open.

Calling costs 200 into a 400-chip pot, and 97 offsuit has enough equity to defend against a typical small-blind opening range. Position postflop and no rake favor calling over folding.

Open-ended straight draw (4-9) on A-high board as preflop raiser; a small c-bet gets folds from many hands and builds pot for my 8 outs while keeping risk low out of position.

The small bet gives me 4-to-1 pot odds with a gutshot and position. A six makes a well-disguised straight, and pairing either hole card can also beat some of the small blind's continuation-bet bluffs.

Pair of sevens plus open-ended straight draw gives strong equity; betting denies free equity to Ax/flush draws and can fold out weaker hands while keeping a decent price if called.

Our pair plus gutshot can already beat turn bluffs and has several ways to improve against one-pair value hands. Against a wide small-blind range, calling in position is preferable to folding or turning this showdown value into a raise.

Pair of sevens with weak kicker has some showdown value against busted draws, but turning it into a bluff makes no sense after villain called two streets; check and evaluate.

My weak pair has limited showdown value against a double-barrel range, and the nine blocks both possible straights, J9 and 96. A polarized overbet pressures one-pair aces on a river that connects well with my calling range.

Third pair of sevens with a six kicker is near the bottom of my range after barreling; villain called three streets and now overbets the river, which is heavily weighted to straights, two pair, and strong Ax. Not getting the equity needed to call.

8-5 offsuit is a weak, unconnected hand even from the button in 3-handed play; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position postflop against two opponents.

T8 offsuit is worth completing for 50 chips with the button folded. Limping keeps the pot small with a playable but marginal hand out of position.

Q6 offsuit has modest showdown value but is too weak for a routine value raise against the small blind's limp. Checking keeps the pot small and lets us see a free flop in position.

With no direct straight or flush draw, this hand has little equity when a bet gets called. Checking out of position keeps the pot small and preserves the option to improve for free.

Queen-high has some showdown value against a small-blind limping range, but betting is unlikely to fold out better hands reliably. Checking preserves the pot and lets us reassess in position on the turn.

With little showdown value, I can profitably stab at the big blind's wide flop-checking range. This modest bluff pressures unpaired hands without a club while risking relatively little.

Queen-high without a club or a meaningful draw is too weak to continue against this turn bet on a paired, three-club board. Folding avoids investing further with little chance to improve to a winning hand.

K4 offsuit is a marginal but reasonable small button open in a three-handed, rake-free game. Raising pressures the blinds while keeping the investment small and preserving positional advantage if called.

J8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act. Its poor equity realization out of position makes folding preferable to calling or bluff-raising.

A2o in the big blind facing a min-raise from the button: getting 3.5:1 to call with position closed, a cheap defend is standard; 3-betting is marginal and folding is too tight at this price.

Ace-high on a Q-K-7 board out of position versus the preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what the button does before investing more.

A one-third-pot bet gets value from queens, weaker pairs, and straight draws while denying free equity. The small sizing keeps the pot manageable with top pair and a weak kicker.

A2 offsuit on Qd Ks 7c has only ace-high with a backdoor wheel draw; facing a continuation bet from the button's raising range, folding is the clear choice.

Pocket threes are a profitable button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable with position.

6-2 offsuit in the small blind facing a button raise is a clear fold; it's one of the weakest hands and plays poorly out of position.

J2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 2.5bb button raise out of position. Its poor equity realization and domination risk make folding preferable to calling or bluff-raising.
