Hold'em table

Pocket eights on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear value/pressure raise; I'll take the initiative with a standard 3x open.

Holding 7h 3d out of position facing a 3bb open is an easy fold.

J7 offsuit is marginal out of position, but the heads-up pot offers a reasonable price to defend. Calling keeps the pot small without turning this hand into a bluff-raise.

With J-high on a paired Q-high flop, I have little showdown value and no meaningful draw. I’ll check rather than build the pot.

My 88 is likely ahead of the BB's check on this paired flop, so I bet for value and protection against draws; a moderate ~70% pot sizing keeps worse hands calling.

I have only jack-high with no meaningful draw, and calling the sizable flop bet is unlikely to be profitable.

8d 4h is too weak to open on the button 3-handed, making fold the standard play.

K♠? No—K♦7♦ is a strong suited hand heads-up after the button folds. Raise for value and initiative rather than just completing the small blind.

J9s is a marginal suited connector out of position against a 2.5x raise from the small blind; folding avoids tough postflop spots with a weak kicker hand.

On the button three-handed, T7 offsuit is playable as an open; a minimum raise applies pressure while keeping the investment modest.

A9o is a good 3-bet bluff candidate against a button min-raise; folding is too weak and calling leaves a tough OOP spot, so I apply pressure and can fold to a 4-bet.

Folding Q8o facing a button open and a small blind three-bet.

T7 offsuit is too weak to continue against the small blind’s 3-bet; calling 400 more risks a large pot with poor equity and playability.

Jack-four offsuit is far too weak to play even from the button in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

KTo is well ahead of an unopened range in a blind-versus-blind scenario, so raising to 3bb is standard to build the pot and apply pressure.

QTo is well within the standard button opening range in 3-handed play; raising to 2.25bb applies pressure and builds the pot in position.

3♦6♥ is a weak offsuit hand from the small blind facing a button raise, and calling would put in more chips with poor playability.

Jack-four offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button min-raise out of position with no implied odds. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

On the button three-handed, Q3 offsuit is playable as a small open and can win the blinds immediately. Raising to the minimum keeps the risk modest.

32o is the worst hand in the deck and I'm out of position facing a button raise; folding loses only 50 chips versus a likely dominated call.

Getting 3.5:1 immediate pot odds closing the action in the big blind with a strong suited broadway hand (KTs).

I am out of position as the preflop caller on a low connected board with two overcards, so checking to the preflop aggressor is standard.

I have only queen-high with a gutshot, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into a connected board that can hit the big blind’s range.

Turned top pair with a good kicker after the flop checked through; betting 300 for value and protection against various draws.

Q-high has no pair and only a gutshot draw, which is far short of the equity needed to call this turn bet.
