Hold'em table

On the button in a 3-handed game, 67 offsuit is playable. Calling 100 to win a 250 pot gives good odds and I act last after the flop.

K3o is too weak to complete from the small blind multiway, and a raise would be a bluff with poor playability if called.

With 6-2 offsuit and no bet to call, checking realizes free flop equity without investing more in a weak hand out of position.

With six-high, no immediate draw, and only a weak backdoor flush possibility, this is a poor bluff candidate out of position. Checking avoids investing chips with very little equity.

The BB checked the flop on a dry board (9s 3s Qh) and I have position with 7-high and a backdoor draw to a straight at most. A small continuation bet of about half the pot can take the pot immediately, since the BB's check-calling range is wide but often weak.}

Six-high with no pair and only a weak backdoor flush possibility is too weak to continue against a half-pot bet. Folding avoids investing more chips out of position with very poor equity realization.

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

86 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3bb button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more with poor equity realization out of position.

T5 offsuit is weak; calling 200 more out of position against a button raise, with a pot of 450, is marginal and plays poorly postflop, so folding is fine.

JTo is a standard button open three-handed, with useful straight potential and position against both blinds. Raising to 2.5bb can win the blinds immediately while keeping the investment modest.

K6o is weak out of position in the small blind facing a button raise to 250 with the big blind still left to act, so folding is the disciplined play.

KQo is strong heads-up versus a button open, so I 3-bet for value and take the initiative rather than flat.

JTo is a marginal offsuit hand that is often dominated by the big blind’s three-betting range. Position does not sufficiently compensate for its poor equity realization, and it lacks strong blockers for a four-bet bluff.

K4 suited on the button in a 3-handed pot is a reasonable steal. A small raise puts pressure on the blinds and gives me position.

2c7d is too weak to continue against a preflop raise, so folding saves chips.

J9 offsuit is a reasonable big-blind defense against a button open, especially without rake. Calling 150 to contest a 550-chip pot offers sufficient odds, while raising would unnecessarily inflate the pot out of position.

This paired queen-high flop favors the preflop raiser's range, and J9 has little immediate equity. Checking avoids an unsupported lead and lets us evaluate the opponent's action.

Heads up on a Q-2-2 board with king-high and a backdoor club draw, I'm in position after the big blind checked. A small continuation bet (half pot) should fold out many hands that beat nothing and gets value from worse queens-less hands.

J-high with only weak backdoor draws is not strong enough to continue against a half-pot bet out of position. There are better hands in my range to defend or use as check-raise bluffs.

78o is too weak to call or open from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves chips.

Q9 offsuit is strong enough to open small blind versus big blind after the button folds. Raising to 3bb pressures the big blind's wide range and charges for playing in position.

5-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand, and calling 200 more out of position against a raise is a losing play, so I fold.

Pocket sixes are a clear button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds can win the blinds immediately while retaining positional advantage if called.

Q9s out of position in the small blind facing a button raise to 250 with the big blind still to act behind is marginal and tends to play poorly, so I fold rather than pay 200 more.

5-8 offsuit is too weak to call a button open; folding saves the remaining stack.
