Hold'em table

A4o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative and pressures the blinds.

83 suited has poor connectivity and weak equity realization out of position against a 2.5-big-blind button raise. Folding avoids an unprofitable defense with no evidence that the opener is unusually loose.

7-5 offsuit is a weak hand in early position. With 100 chips to call and no stack advantage, folding preserves chips for stronger holdings.

Q6 offsuit is worth completing heads-up from the small blind at 3-to-1 pot odds. Limping keeps the pot small with a marginal hand that must play out of position.

AKo in the big blind versus a small-blind limp is a clear value raise; sizing to 4bb builds the pot in position-free heads-up play while punishing the limp.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 4bb raise out of position. Folding avoids investing more with poor playability and frequent domination.

K4 offsuit is a reasonable button steal with only the blinds left to act. A small raise pressures their weaker hands while limiting investment and retaining position postflop.

A3 offsuit in the small blind facing a button open plays poorly out of position with the big blind still to act; folding is the standard low-variance play.

9-8o is a weak hand in a 3-way pot with a button raiser and small blind already in. Folding is correct from the big blind as the hand lacks strong equity and the raiser has already shown strength with a 2.25x raise.

6-3 offsuit on the button is a clear fold in a 3-handed 100bb game; it plays poorly postflop and has no raising value here.

A5o is a reasonable hand from the small blind (ace-high with wheel potential), and with one fold already, raising to 300 (3x BB) applies pressure and gives us a chance to win the pot immediately or play in a favorable position postflop.

J9 offsuit is strong enough to defend against a small-blind open, especially with position postflop. Calling costs 200 into a 400 pot and preserves weaker hands in the opponent's range.

With A5o on a K-4-8 board, I have limited showdown value and no made hand. Checking allows me to control pot size while keeping the option to fold if facing aggression, minimizing losses on a weak hand.

A small positional stab can fold out better high-card hands after the preflop raiser checks. The backdoor club and straight possibilities provide some useful turn opportunities if called.

I hold 5h-Ah (weak ace-high) on a board with King and two clubs. Seat 3 check-raised after I bet preflop, indicating strength. My hand is likely dominated and I'm out of position with no draw; folding saves chips for better spots.

T8o is a weak hand in early position requiring improvement. Folding preserves chips against two opponents who have already posted blinds, avoiding marginal situations post-flop.

With the button folded, J7 offsuit is strong enough to complete the small blind at 3:1 pot odds. Limping keeps the pot small while playing out of position against the big blind.

SB limped into my big blind and I have 7s6s, a playable suited connector with good equity and position postflop; raising to 3bb punishes the limp and takes initiative heads-up.

J7 offsuit is too weak to profitably defend against this raise out of position. Folding avoids investing more with poor playability and frequent domination.

Q4 offsuit is near the bottom of a button opening range and has poor playability when called. Without evidence that the blinds overfold, I prefer folding this marginal hand.

Button folded, so it's SB vs BB heads-up; J5o is a marginal but playable hand to open-raise blind-vs-blind with 100bb, taking initiative rather than completing passively.
