Hold'em table

73 offsuit is far too weak to open on the button even in 3-handed play.

KQ suited is strong heads-up against the big blind. Raising builds the pot and puts pressure on their wide range.

Closing the action with JTo against a likely wide small-blind open; getting good pot odds, this hand has enough equity to defend.

I have two overcards and a backdoor club draw. A small continuation bet can fold out weaker unpaired hands without risking much.

Top pair with decent kicker on a paired board; calling keeps bluffs and worse Jx in, and I have position to evaluate the turn.

K-high has little equity after the flop call, and the turn adds no meaningful draw. Checking keeps the pot small while preserving the chance to improve on the river.

I have top pair on a dry board and my opponent checked the turn after a weak flop bet, so I bet for value and protection against overcards.

King-high has no meaningful draw on this turn. Calling 600 requires more equity than six uncertain overcard outs provide.

J7 suited is a profitable button open three-handed. A 2.5 big blind raise puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

A5o is a marginal hand, but 3-betting exploits the button's wide opening range, folds out the BB, and gives us initiative to barrel many flops.

Holding five-four offsuit in the big blind facing a raise and a three-bet is an easy fold.

J7 suited is too weak to defend against the small blind’s three-bet, even with position.

Pocket eights are strong in a 3-handed game, so I'll raise to take control and isolate the blinds.

Folding T6o from the small blind facing a button open raise.

32 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a 3bb button raise, even heads-up.

Opening from the button with 43s allows us to apply pressure and play in position postflop.

The button’s minimum raise can represent a wide range. From the small blind, I’d rather use the ace as a blocker in a three-bet than call out of position with A2 offsuit.

Q7o is dominated against a button open and small-blind three-bet; calling 700 out of position with a weak offsuit hand is not profitable.

43s is too weak to continue against an 8bb 3-bet from the small blind.

On the button in a three-handed game, 7-6 offsuit is playable as a small open, using position to contest the blinds.

3-4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act.

Folding 95 offsuit facing an open raise from the button as it is too weak to defend out of position.

T2o is too weak to call or steal with from the button in a three-handed pot, especially facing a full big blind. Folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand out of position after the flop.

Q4o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position.
