Holdem table

Three-handed on the button, K5o is a reasonable open rather than a limp. A small raise to 2.5bb steals the blinds and keeps the pot manageable if called.

Nine-five offsuit is one of the weakest hands in hold'em, and facing a 2.5x button raise out of position from the small blind, calling or bluff-raising has no profitable expectation. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

6-3 offsuit facing a raise is not worth defending; fold to save chips.

Q5 offsuit on the button is a weak, easily dominated hand; folding rather than inflating the pot with a marginal open is the profitable line here.

Pocket nines is a strong hand heads-up here after button folded; raising to build the pot and isolate the big blind.

QJo has enough equity heads-up against a small-blind raise, and calling 250 into 450 is a reasonable price without overcommitting.

I flopped a set of nines on a wet board and want to build the pot for value while charging draws.

In position with an open-ended straight draw and two overcards, calling 450 into 1150 is priced well enough to realize equity without bloating the pot.

I hit a set of nines on a drawy board with two diamonds and a straight possibility, so I want to bet for value and charge any draws.

Queen-high with only a gutshot to the eight is too weak to continue against a turn barrel after flop aggression. The price is poor relative to my outs, so I fold.

Suited connector on the button in a 3-handed pot; raising to isolate and take initiative with position.

A2o is dominated and plays poorly out of position against a button open, so folding the small blind is the higher-EV choice.

Calling 200 into a 450 pot needs only ~31% equity, and 56o has enough against a wide 3-handed button opening range, with decent straight/pair playability in position-free but cheap spot.

I completely whiffed the A-K-J flop with 5-high and only a backdoor heart draw, and this board smashes the button's preflop raising range. Checking to realize any free equity and fold to aggression is clearly best.

I have no equity but the AKJ board favors my preflop raising range; a continuation bet here can take down the pot since seat_2 checked weakness.

My 5h6c is just ace-high here with only a backdoor flush draw (needing runner-runner hearts, and mine would be the lowest flush) against a button raiser's c-bet. Calling 350 into 1000 requires ~26% equity I don't have, so folding is clearly cheapest.

A2o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, so I raise to 2.5bb rather than limp or fold.

ATo is strong enough to 3-bet from the small blind against a button open in 3-max, generating fold equity and value from worse aces while isolating the opener.

AKs is a premium hand; 4-betting here builds the pot and pressures seat_1 while seat_2's 3-bet size suggests a wide range I can exploit.

A2o is too weak to continue facing a 3-bet and a 4-bet; calling 1750 out of position multiway is -EV.

Facing a 4-bet out of position with ATo, I'm dominated by AQ/AK and behind QQ+; I'd need ~28% equity and have roughly that or less, with a miserable 1.9 SPR postflop against the aggressor. Folding is the profitable play.

K8o on the button three-handed is a standard open; raising to 3x builds the pot with position and fold equity against the blinds.

J4 offsuit is weak facing a raise from the button; folding is correct rather than defending with a poor hand.

T7o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, low-playability spot.

T7 offsuit is weak from the button facing a call; not worth continuing given position doesn't offset the poor hand strength.

K3 offsuit is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind after the button folds.
