Hold'em table

As the button in a three-handed pot, pocket fives are strong enough to open-raise and take initiative. A 3x raise pressures the blinds while keeping weaker hands in the pot.

Q9 offsuit is marginal against a button 3x raise, and calling out of position with the big blind still behind has poor equity realization.

T8o offsuit is far too weak to call 200 more against a 3bb raiser heads-up; folding is clearly best.

T3 offsuit is a very weak hand even on the button in 3-handed play; calling 100 chips has negative expectation against the blinds' ranges.

With the button folded, K2 offsuit is a reasonable blind-versus-blind hand to complete, but not strong enough to build a large pot preflop.

With 4c8s in the big blind and no amount to call, checking takes a free flop with a weak hand rather than building a pot out of position.

With only king-high on a connected flop and no meaningful draw, checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to improve.

With a pair of 8s plus a straight draw on a 9-10 high board, betting for protection and value against a limped, checked range denies overcard equity.

I have only king-high and a gutshot requiring a jack, which is insufficient equity to call this bet. A raise would be an unnecessarily costly bluff on a connected board.

A♦Q♦ is a strong button hand; open-raise to 2.5 big blinds for value and initiative while keeping the sizing efficient.

Q8 suited has good equity and playability against a wide button open, and the price of 200 into 400 is favorable despite being out of position.

J7o is weak but I only need 150 more into a 600 pot with decent odds; folding is too tight, raising too loose.

With queen-high, only backdoor flush and straight draws on a dry flop in a three-way pot, checking preserves equity and avoids building a pot out of position.

Second pair with a jack kicker on a dry board; checking behind keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it out of position against two players.

With ace-high and two overcards plus a backdoor flush draw, checking back preserves my showdown equity without bloating a multiway pot on a low, connected board.

With queen-high, no pair and no viable draw on an ace turn, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into two opponents including the preflop raiser.

I hold J-high with a paired board ace; no value or fold equity worth betting into two checked players. Checking keeps the pot small.

I have top pair with the best kicker after everyone checked, so I’ll make a value bet while charging weaker pairs and draws.

Q-high with no pair or meaningful draw on an ace turn; calling 400 needs far more equity than my few weak outs provide, especially with a player behind.

Only a weak pair of sevens with no draws; seat_1's turn bet after a checked flop looks strong, and calling 400 to chase is unprofitable.

64 suited on the button in a 3-handed game has playable equity and position; calling the big blind to see a flop cheaply is better than folding or inflating the pot.

AQs is a strong hand; I raise for value and to isolate the limper.

7♣5♥ offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise, even with the button's limp already in the pot.

6-4 suited is too weak to call a 4x raise from the small blind after limping, even in position, needing 33% equity against a strong range with poor implied odds.

JTs is a strong suited connector on the button; raising builds the pot with position and folds out weaker hands.

K5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Fold and avoid investing more out of position.

2-5 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a button raise to 3bb; calling from the big blind would be unprofitable.
