Hold'em table

2-4 suited is too weak even on the button in a 3-handed game; calling 100 chips risks more postflop with poor playability and dominated low-card equity.

Holding 92o out of position against the big blind is an easy fold even heads-up blind versus blind.

J8s on the button in 3-handed play is well within the standard opening range; raising to 2.5bb to take initiative and build the pot in position.

89o has decent equity and playability for the price, and calling keeps the pot controlled while avoiding bloating OOP with a speculative hand.

79 suited has good playability and I am closing the action in the big blind, getting strong pot odds for only 150 more into 600.

I have a weak gutshot with no pair on an ace-high flop and I am first to act in a three-way pot. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a pot with marginal equity.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker on an ace-jack board with a flush draw is only modest showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate the button's action before committing more.

Second pair with a weak kicker multiway on an Ace-high board is ideal for pot control and showdown value.

With only a gutshot and no pair on a coordinated board, checking keeps the pot small and gives me a free river card.

Bottom pair of 7s is too weak to value bet on an A-K-J board and a bluff would likely be called by better pairs or draws; checking keeps the pot small and gives a free chance to improve.

With third pair on a dangerous Ace-King board, checking back to realize our showdown value is best.

I rivered a 7-J straight and all opponents checked through, so betting extracts value from pairs and sets while denying free showdowns.

Bottom pair of 7s on an A-K-J-T board loses to any ace, king, jack, ten, queen straight, or better pair; calling 500 needs ~29% equity I don't have, with another player still behind.

The board shows four to a broadway straight (A-K-J-T), leaving fourth pair with no blockers to the straight completely unviable against a river lead.

Three-handed on the button, I will open-raise with a speculative connector to apply pressure on the blinds and use position if called.

3-8 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a button raise to 300, with poor playability out of position in the small blind.

T2o is far too weak to defend against a 3x open from the button.

Pocket tens is a strong value hand on the button in 3-handed play; raising isolates the blinds and builds pot in position.

Facing a 3bb button open out of position with the big blind still to act, K7s is slightly too weak to profitably defend.

Q7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button raise, and calling 200 more with poor playability is not profitable enough. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

On the button in 3-handed play, Q9o is well within standard opening range to steal the blinds or play in position.

ATs is a strong 3-bet candidate from the small blind in a 3-handed game; raising to 750 applies pressure and builds the pot with a hand that has good equity and playability.

Q2o is very weak facing a button open and a small-blind 3-bet to 750; calling 650 out of position has poor equity and playability.

Q9o opened from the button but does not have enough equity or playability to continue against a 3-bet from the small blind.

AQ suited is a strong hand preflop in a 3-handed game; raising for value and to take control of the pot.

3c5s is a very weak offsuit hand facing a button raise to 300 from the small blind, so calling 250 out of position is unprofitable.

T4o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.
