Hold'em table

A3o is weak but on the button in a 3-handed game I should open wide; a raise to 2.5x applies pressure and can often take the blinds or a favorable flop spot.

A9o has solid equity against a wide button opening range in 3-handed play, especially with zero rake making calling from the small blind attractive.

65o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open and a small-blind call; pot odds do not compensate for dominated equity and poor postflop playability.

We are out of position against the preflop raiser on a paired low board holding Ace-high with showdown value, making checking the standard and optimal play.

As the preflop raiser heads-up on a dry paired 554 board, I have strong fold equity against a small-blind flat range that mostly missed; a ~40% pot c-bet is a profitable bluff with ace-high backup, and I can easily fold to a check-raise.

Getting over 3.4:1 pot odds against a small continuation bet on a dry paired board where Ace-high maintains solid showdown and backdoor equity.

We hold Ace-high with a flush draw on the turn out of position. Checking is the standard play to control the pot size and see how the opponent acts.

We hold Ace-high which has some showdown value against missed floats or unimproved overcards. Betting will rarely get called by worse, so checking is best.

T3o is far too weak to open even from the button in a 3-handed game. Folding is standard.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with suited ace-seven. A raise to 300 takes the initiative and builds the pot with a hand that plays well postflop.

84s is a weak hand facing a 3x raise from the SB with only two players left; folding avoids a dominated spot.

Pocket queens are a premium hand on the button, so I raise to 3x the big blind to build the pot and take control preflop.

42s is nearly the worst hand in poker, and I'm facing a 3x raise from the button with the big blind still to act. Calling 250 into a small pot with no equity or fold equity is a clear losing play.

8c 4d is an unplayable hand against a 3bb open raise, so folding is clearly standard.

95o is a weak hand from the button facing two active blinds; folding minimizes loss with a dominated hand.

T6o is a weak unsuited hand out of position, making it a standard fold from the small blind.

96o is too weak to open from the button even three-handed.

63o is too weak to continue out of position for 50 more; folding avoids realizing poor equity against the big blind.

Pocket sixes on the button is strong enough to open-raise for value and fold equity before the blinds act. A 3x raise keeps the pot manageable while applying pressure.

Nine-high with a weak kicker (92o) is far too trashy to call a 3x raise even at 3-handed; folding and saving 250 chips is clearly best.

J5o is a very weak offsuit hand out of position facing a 3x open; an easy fold.
