Hold'em table

J8 offsuit is a weak button opening hand in this format and folding avoids marginal reverse-implied-odds spots.

Blind vs blind, Q2o has enough equity and fold equity against the big blind to open-raise with a standard 3x sizing rather than fold.

AK is strong enough to three-bet for value and initiative, especially against a small blind raise. A moderate raise to 900 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable this deep.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 3-bet from the big blind while out of position. Calling 600 into 1200 isn't justified with this poor equity and playability.

AKo on the button is a premium hand, so I'm opening to 2.5bb for value and to take the initiative.

5-7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise out of position, especially for 2.5x. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

QJs is a strong defend versus a button min-raise with favorable pot odds and plays well postflop.

Check to the preflop raiser with a strong flush draw and gutshot, preserving flexibility to respond to their continuation bet.

Top pair with the top kicker on a board that favors me as the preflop raiser. A 2/3-pot bet gets value from draws and weaker kings and protects my hand.)

Q-high with only a weak backdoor spade possibility has insufficient equity against this sizable flop continuation bet. Folding preserves chips.

Button steal with a suited hand; a min-raise pressures the blinds and can take the dead money.

8-high suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

Getting 3.5:1 against a button min-raise, 83s has enough playability suited to defend from the big blind. Folding would be too tight here, so I'll call.

Out of position with a weak flush draw on a Q-high board that favors the preflop raiser, so I check to the raiser. I plan to check-raise or call depending on the sizing.

With bottom pair and the initiative after the BB checks, I make a modest continuation bet to fold out overcards and protect my hand. I choose 200 to apply pressure without risking too much against a possible queen.

I have a flush draw facing a small c-bet from a wide button range, so a check-raise as a semi-bluff wins fold equity and still has about 9 outs when called.

5-4 offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button in this short-handed setup without reads.

Folded to me in the small blind with 43o. The 3:1 pot odds make a limp reasonable with a weak but playable hand, even out of position.

K2o is a weak hand but I get to see a free flop with position relative to the small blind, so checking is the best way to keep the pot small and realize equity.

43 offsuit has almost no equity on J-T-2, only a gutshot to the wheel is not even possible here, so I check. Stabbing out of position into the big blind's range, which connects well with this board, isn't worthwhile.

I have bottom pair with a king kicker, but the board is coordinated and my opponent checked. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn card.

4-high has no showdown value, and the BB's flop check caps their range. A small turn stab can take down the pot often enough to profit.

K7o is a standard button open in 3-handed play against two blinds; a 2.5x raise to steal the blinds is preferable to limping or folding.

96o is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

A3 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against the button open at this sizing.

K3 suited is marginal heads-up from the small blind, but completing versus the big blind is acceptable; however folding avoids realizing poor equity out of position with a dominated kicker.
