Hold'em table

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to open from the button three-handed, and a 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

8s2s is a weak offsuit hand facing a raise and a call still to act behind; not worth continuing from the small blind.

Seat 1 opened to 250 with a button raise, and I hold Q5o in the big blind. This is a weak hand with poor post-flop playability, so folding is the correct play to preserve my stack.

A5 offsuit from the button is a reasonable steal/value hand; raising to 250 applies pressure on both blinds while keeping risk moderate.

With 4h 9c, I have no playability against a 250 raise and the 200 call is too expensive for such weak equity. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

KJ suited is strong against a button opening range and plays well as a heads-up three-bet, even out of position.

A5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 3-bet; folding preserves chips for better spots.

I have JsKh, a decent suited-ish hand, and I'm on the button with position. Raising to 300 builds the pot with good equity and isolates the blinds.

QTo is too marginal to call a three-big-blind button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

Pocket fours are a profitable button open three-handed. A 2.5 big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

87o offsuit from the small blind facing a raise and a call risk isn't worth continuing with weak equity and poor position.

5-2 offsuit is a very weak hand, and facing a raise plus a call with only 150 to call is not worth the risk. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

On the button with a suited hand in a 3-handed pot, a small raise applies pressure to the blinds and can win the pot outright or see a cheap flop in position.

I have a pocket pair of Tens, which is a solid preflop holding. I'll raise to 450 to build the pot and apply pressure, as the min raise is 400.

Q3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a three-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act.

Jd5d is weak offsuit and facing a 3-bet; not worth continuing.

I have Ace-high with a Ten kicker, which is playable but not strong enough to overvalue. A moderate raise builds the pot with a speculative hand while keeping the big blind's bluffs in.

9♣4♣ is too weak to defend the small blind against a 3x button raise with the big blind still to act.

AJ offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet a single-raised pot from the big blind against a button open, applying pressure and building value.

Seat 2 opened to 900 with the button. My AsTc is a speculative hand that benefits from implied odds and position, so a min-raise to 1500 keeps the pot controlled while denying a cheap flop and preserving fold equity.
