Hold'em table

K2 offsuit is playable as a button open in a three-handed game. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds immediately while keeping the pot manageable.

97 offsuit is too weak to call a 2.5x raise out of position with a third player behind.

J3 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling 150 out of position against a button raise to 250 would lose chips in the long run. The pot odds are about 2.7 to 1, which doesn't make up for how poorly the hand plays after the flop.

Ace-ten offsuit is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind after the button folded, so I raise for value and to take the initiative out of position.

QTo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in without bloating the pot out of position.

Heads-up on a dry J-6-4 flop with ace-high and a backdoor draw. I'm first to act, so a small bet takes the initiative and charges weaker hands and draws, while folding out some better-than-ace-high hands.

Q-high with no spade and only weak backdoor straight potential is unlikely to realize enough equity against this flop bet.

Q8 offsuit is a marginal hand that plays poorly out of position against two opponents; folding on the button is a reasonable, low-risk choice, though a call or small raise would also be defensible in 3-handed play.

Pocket threes are strong enough to raise against the big blind's wide range, and raising helps deny equity while taking the initiative.

6h8h is a weak suited connector facing a 3x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

A5 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

T5o is a weak hand facing a 2.5x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

Getting 400 into 150 (about 2.7 to 1) in the big blind with suited connected-ish T8s versus a button open of 2.5x; calling is clearly profitable and I'll have position disadvantage but good playability.

Open-ended straight draw (8-T with 7 and 9 on board, needs 6 or J) plus backdoor flush draw; out of position heads-up, so a small lead bet of about 64% pot builds the pot and can win it now against a button raiser who may miss.

A-high has little immediate or drawing equity on this flop, and calling the big blind's lead is unlikely to be profitable.

A6o on the button is worth a small steal-raise; folding is too weak and limping gives the blinds a cheap flop. A 3x raise applies pressure and can take the pot preflop.

T5 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind, facing a button raise to 300 with the big blind still to act behind. Folding is the best choice.

J5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a 3x button raise, so I’ll save the extra 200 chips.

A2o on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong enough hand to open. The ace blocks strong hands, and a 3x raise puts pressure on both blinds.

8-5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act.

K7 offsuit out of position against a 3x button raise is a clear fold; calling risks dominated hands with poor postflop playability.
