Hold'em table

On the button three-handed with J8o, a small open to 3x applies pressure on both blinds and takes position; folding is too tight at this seat, and limping surrenders fold equity.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding premium AKo in the big blind facing a button open, I 3-bet for value and to take down the pot or build value out of position.

Jack-eight offsuit has very poor equity against a three-bet from the big blind after my open was raised to 11x. Calling 800 more risks too much for such a weak dominated holding.

AKo is a premium hand on the button, so I open-raise to 3x rather than limp or fold.

75o is a weak unsuited hand out of position facing a 3x open; an easy fold.

Nine-five suited is too weak to profitably open-raise from the button in a standard 3-handed structure.

Heads-up after the button folds, calling 50 into a 150 pot gives 3:1 odds; 82s has roughly 40% equity vs a random hand, so the cheap call is clearly profitable despite the weak rank.

83 suited is too weak to raise out of position against a completed small blind, and checking is free so there is no reason to fold.

I hold 8-high with only a backdoor club draw on Qs-7h-5s, so betting has little fold equity or equity when called. Checking is free and lets me reassess or fold cheaply if the BB bets.

I have a four-flush on a dry board and the small blind checked, so a small semi-bluff bets for fold equity while keeping a cheap draw if called.

I hold 8-high with only a backdoor club draw, and seat_2 bet into my checked flop, so calling 150 needs ~30% equity I don't have. Folding is clearly the best EV here.

On the button 3-handed, 54o is near the bottom of a wide BTN opening range, but position justifies a small 2.5x steal attempt; I keep the pot manageable and can easily fold to a 3-bet.

43 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, especially out of position with the big blind still to act.

K2o is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open.

K7o is too weak and easily dominated to open from the button, and limping is unattractive, so folding is the disciplined play.

Folding 96o from the small blind as it plays poorly out of position postflop.

Opening from the button with A8o is standard in 3-handed play to leverage position and steal the blinds.

K3s is a weak hand facing a 2.5x raise from the button while out of position with the big blind still to act. Folding is clearly best; calling or raising would just bleed chips with poor equity and reverse implied odds.

K7o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise; it is often dominated and realizes poorly, so folding is the higher-EV play.
