Hold'em table

76 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with ace-seven offsuit. A raise to 3bb takes the initiative and applies pressure rather than just completing.

A8s is a decent hand but seat_2's 3x raise from SB signals strength. Calling keeps the pot manageable while retaining postflop flexibility with position on them.

A7o is too weak to continue out of position against a 3-bet; calling or 4-betting would be -EV.

J4o is too weak to call or raise from the button in a three-handed pot, so folding preserves chips.

8-6 offsuit from the button is too weak to play even for a min-call; folding preserves chips and avoids dominated spots out of position postflop.

Folding weak offsuit 9-high out of position against the big blind.

Opening on the button with King-Queen suited to 2.5x big blinds for value and position.

K2o is too weak to continue from the small blind facing a button raise, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated offsuit hand out of position.

Pocket threes are ahead of most button opening ranges in three-handed play, so a standard 3bb open builds the pot and takes the initiative before the blinds.

T6o is a weak hand facing a 3x raise out of position with a third player still to act. Folding is the standard profitable play.

Getting over 2:1 pot odds against a button open in 3-handed play, QTo is a standard defend in the big blind.

Check to the preflop raiser with top pair mediocre kicker out of position.

As the preflop raiser I c-bet small on this dryish Q-high flop; pocket threes have some equity and a one-third-pot bet can fold out ace-high and other misses cheaply.

Flopped top pair with a decent kicker facing a small continuation bet; calling to keep their bluffs and weaker range in.

I have top pair with a mediocre kicker out of position. Checking keeps the pot controlled and allows me to evaluate BU's turn action.

Pocket threes is only a weak pair on a queen-high board, and the opponent has called both streets, so checking keeps showdown value without inflating the pot.

We hold top pair with a mediocre kicker. Checking allows us to control the pot size and catch potential river bluffs from missed draws.

Pair of threes has some showdown value on this dry board, but a bet mostly gets called by better and folds out worse. Checking realizes that value for free.

4d2s from the button is the weakest possible spot; folding costs nothing and preserves chips for a better hand.

73o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position.
