Hold'em table

J8o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, and raising builds the pot with position rather than limping.

Q2o is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open.

Ace-king out of position against a button open is strong enough to 3-bet for value; ~4.4x builds the pot and applies pressure.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue against an 11bb three-bet; calling or four-betting would be a large mistake.

Holding premium AKo on the button, open-raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

5-7 offsuit is far too weak to call a 2.5x raise out of position with the big blind still behind, so folding loses the least.

QJs is a strong blind defense versus a button open, and three-betting builds the pot while denying the button a cheap flop in position.

Holding AKo on the button against a big blind 3-bet, a 4-bet to 2000 is a standard value raise in position.

QJo is too weak to continue out of position against a 4-bet to 20bb; calling leaves me dominated and poorly placed postflop.

Suited 95 on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard wide open; raising to 2.5x pressures the blinds and the hand has decent playability if called.

82 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

83s is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open.

54o is too weak to call or open from the button against two live blinds, so folding avoids a negative-EV spot.

Holding 43 offsuit out of position against the big blind is an easy fold.

On the button in 3-handed play, K7o is sufficiently strong to open with a min-raise to steal the blinds or play in position.

Nine-six offsuit is far too weak to call 150 more against a button raise, and 3-betting this hand would just burn chips. Folding is clearly the best play.

Button min-raised and the small blind folded, so I only need 100 more into a 350 pot. A3o is too weak to three-bet, but the price is good enough to continue and see a flop.

I flopped top two pair on a board with a diamond draw, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and protection rather than giving a free card.

I have King-high with no significant draws on an Ace-high board facing a donk bet.

A8o on the button is worth a standard open-raise to build the pot and take initiative in position.

K3 suited is too weak to call a button open from the small blind out of position, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated king with a poor kicker.

K7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.
