Hold'em table

K2 offsuit is weak, but on the button it is playable three-handed. A modest raise applies pressure to the blinds while retaining positional advantage postflop.

5-3 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act.

Getting 150 to win 400 in the big blind against a button 2.5x open, T5 suited is a profitable defend with position disadvantage but good pot odds.

T5 with only a gutshot to 6-7-8-9 and a backdoor flush draw is weak out of position against the button's range, so I check and plan to continue versus a small c-bet.

K-high has some showdown value on this dry flop, and checking back keeps the pot small while preserving the chance to improve.

The button checked back the flop, which caps its range. The 8 pairing on the turn favors a probe bet, and my ten-high has little showdown value, so betting to fold out better high cards makes sense.

K-high has no meaningful draw on this board, and calling 350 into the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable without a strong read that this is a bluff.

T6 suited is a reasonable button open three-handed. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds while retaining position if called.

The button's opening range is wide 3-handed, and calling out of position with the big blind still to act plays poorly. J8s is a decent suited 3-bet bluff candidate with playability, so I'll 3-bet to 10bb to take the initiative and apply fold equity."

A 10bb three-bet after a button open is too large to profitably continue with 77 out of position, especially with the button still to act.

T6 suited is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, especially given the risk of being dominated.

In a three-handed game, J4 suited on the button is a profitable open at the wide ranges this position allows, so I'll make a standard 2.5bb steal.

8♣4♠ is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, and the big blind has yet to act. Folding avoids investing more in a poor spot.

A2 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, especially with the small blind out. Calling keeps the pot manageable with a hand that can be dominated.

With ace-high on a paired flop, I can check and avoid building the pot out of position against the preflop raiser.

On a paired Q-7-Q board, I have a flush draw with a jack and position, and I'm the preflop raiser. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot uses my range advantage and puts pressure on the big blind's weaker hands, and I still have equity when called..

The small flop bet gives a good price to continue with ace-high on a paired board. I also have some backdoor improvement potential.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but this turn favors the preflop raiser's range. I prefer checking rather than building the pot with no meaningful draw.

Semi-bluffing with the club flush draw in position. The bet can fold out weaker pairs that called the small flop bet, and it keeps my equity if called.

Ace-high has little chance to improve on the river, and the turn bet is too large to call profitably without a strong read that the opponent is bluffing.

T9 offsuit is a profitable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the size modest.

AK offsuit is strong enough to three-bet against a button open. Raising to 11 big blinds builds value and discourages the big blind from entering cheaply.

85o facing a button open and a small-blind 3-bet is far too weak to continue profitably, so folding the big blind is correct.

T9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large small-blind 3-bet, and calling would need substantial equity. I have no useful blocker-based reason to 4-bet bluff.

Q7 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button in a three-handed game. A 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J5 suited out of the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still left to act, is a clear fold. Calling out of position plays poorly, and 3-betting it as a bluff is too loose.

A♦Q♦ is a premium hand heads-up against the button’s open. 3-betting to 800 builds the pot for value while applying pressure from out of position.

Q7 offsuit plays poorly against a big-blind three-bet, and calling 550 chips risks continuing with a dominated hand.

Three-handed on the button, Q6o sits inside a standard wide opening range, so I'm stealing with a 2.5bb open.

J♣5♣ is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips into a difficult multiway spot.

Q3 suited has enough equity to defend the big blind against a 2.5x button raise at this price, though it plays poorly enough out of position that I would not reraise.

I have no made hand and little immediate drawing equity on this ace-high flop. Checking avoids building the pot out of position against the preflop raiser.

The A-2-T rainbow board favors my button raising range over the big blind's calling range, so a small c-bet at about a third of the pot should take it down often. Q6 has a gutshot to Broadway via KJ plus overcard equity, which makes it a reasonable bluff.

Q-high has no meaningful draw on this board, and calling out of position against a continuation bet is unlikely to be profitable.
