Hold'em table

98o is a playable speculative connector on the button in 3-handed play; min-raising applies pressure in position.

6-7 offsuit out of position in the small blind, facing a button raise to 200 with the big blind still to act behind. Calling 150 more would leave me playing postflop out of position with a weak hand, so folding is the better choice.

J7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 2x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

AJo on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and position against two players who haven't shown any strength.

J3o is far too weak to call 3bb out of position against a raiser with two players behind. Folding is clearly best.

Facing a 3x open from the button, 43s lacks the equity and playability out of position to justify calling.

Holding AQo in the small blind after the button folds, raising to 300 for value and initiative against the big blind.

Q5 offsuit is weak; calling 200 more to win a 400 pot out of position against a small blind raise has poor equity and playability, so fold.

K6o is near the threshold of a profitable button opening range in a 3-handed zero-rake game; min-raising applies pressure to the blinds with position.

4-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand, and I'm out of position in the small blind facing a button raise with the big blind still to act behind. Folding costs only the 50-chip small blind.

Pocket aces on the button in a 3-handed pot: raise for value to build the pot with the best starting hand, sized at 3.5x the big blind.

Pocket kings vs a 3.5x open — I 3-bet for value to build the pot, keeping room to get stacks in postflop.

Holding 4d 3h facing an open raise and a 3-bet is an easy preflop fold.

Pocket aces facing a small-blind 3-bet; a 4-bet to 3500 builds the pot and keeps weaker hands in while leaving room for a shove.

3c8c offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a pot with two players already in; folding is the profitable play.

Folding 74o from the small blind as it is too weak to play out of position.
