Hold'em table

K2o is too weak to open profitably even from the button in a 3-handed game.

5h3c is a weak offsuit hand and I am out of position against the big blind; folding avoids playing a marginal hand postflop.

T6s is a speculative hand with position; raising applies pressure on the blinds and can take down the pot preflop or build a pot with position.

J8 suited is strong enough to occasionally 3-bet against a button open. Raising also pressures the big blind and avoids a passive call out of position.

Facing an open raise and an 11bb 3-bet from the small blind with the button still left to act, set-mining with pocket sevens out of position is unprofitable.

T6s is a weak offsuit-gapped hand facing a 3-bet to 1100 with only 800 to call; it's dominated by the reraiser's range and I'm out of position, so folding is best.

J4 suited is playable as a button open in three-handed hold’em. Raising to 2.5 big blinds gives me a chance to win the blinds while retaining position if called.

Holding 8c 4s out of position facing a button open is an easy standard fold.

I have an ace and am closing the preflop action with good pot odds against a likely wide button open. A2o is weak but calling 150 into 400 is reasonable and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

Out of position with ace-high on a paired board, checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the button's action before committing more chips.

I have a flush draw and position on a paired board. A moderate bet can win the pot now while keeping the cost reasonable if called.

Ace-high with no pair or real draw on a paired board is too weak to continue against a button raise and flop bet.

T9o is a standard open on the button in 3-handed play to apply pressure and utilize position.

AK offsuit is a premium 3-handed hand; 3-betting to 600 applies pressure on the button's wide opening range and builds the pot while I have strong equity.

8-5 offsuit plays poorly against a small blind three-bet and a button opener; calling 500 chips out of position is not worthwhile.

T9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 3-bet, even in position.

With Q7o on the button in a 3-handed game, raising applies pressure on the blinds and uses position to take the initiative. A standard raise to 300 is enough to fold out weak hands while keeping the pot manageable.

J5 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x button raise with the big blind still to act.

Holding Ace-Queen suited in the big blind against a button open is a clear spot for a three-bet for value.

Q7o is too weak to continue against a big blind 3-bet, especially with the small blind already folded and poor playability postflop.

Q6 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise takes advantage of position while limiting the investment.

J5s is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

Getting 3:1 with a suited queen against a likely wide button raise, so calling is profitable enough despite being out of position.

I have Qc3c with no pair and only a backdoor flush draw on an Ace-high board. As big blind I can check for free and see a turn card rather than investing more chips with a weak hand.

This dry ace-high flop favors my preflop raising range. A small continuation bet can win the pot when the big blind missed without risking much.

I have queen-high with no pair or draw on an ace-high flop, and the button's flop bet gives poor odds to continue. Folding avoids chasing with minimal equity.
