Hold'em table

Q6 offsuit is playable as a button open in a three-handed game. A modest raise gives me a chance to take the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J8o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open with the big blind yet to act.

5-8 offsuit is weak and out of position against a button open, so I'm giving up the big blind. Calling 150 to win 400 would be close, but I'd be out of position with a weak hand that plays poorly.

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

In the small blind, 6-8 offsuit is a marginal hand. Heads-up against the big blind, completing costs only 50 more to win a 150 pot, so the price is good enough to see a flop.

A4 offsuit is ahead of a small-blind limping range, and raising in position builds value while applying pressure.

6-8 offsuit is weak and out of position against a 4x raise from the big blind. Calling 300 more to win a 500 pot gives poor odds and leaves me in a hard postflop spot, so I fold.

A8o is a decent hand on the button in a 3-handed game, so I raise to 3bb to take the initiative and put pressure on the blinds.

Four-deuce suited is too weak to defend the small blind against a three-big-blind open with the big blind still to act.

J4o is too weak to defend from the big blind against a 3bb button open.

J9 suited is a solid button open three-handed. Raising to 250 chips gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

43 offsuit is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

A7o in the big blind facing a button min-raise to 250 has good pot odds (150 to win 400) and an ace-high hand that plays fine heads-up, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Heads up out of position on a 9-8-3 board with an inside straight draw (needs a 6 for 7-high... actually a 7 gives a pair) plus an ace-high and a backdoor flush draw. A small probe bet of about half the pot builds the pot and can fold out overcards or weaker hands, with some equity if called.

Top pair with a jack kicker is strong enough to continue against this small flop bet. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while preserving position.

I have ace-high with a backdoor straight draw (needs a 6, since 7-8-9 is connected) on a 9-8-3-2 board. Seat_1 called the flop bet, so they likely have a pair or a draw. Checking gives up equity, but a small bet of about half the pot could get them to fold better hands like small pairs and also builds the pot if I hit a 6 or an ace. The hand is marginal, so I'm keeping the bet small.

Top pair with a jack kicker is strong enough to continue against this turn bet, and position lets me assess the river before committing more chips.

Board 9-8-3-2-7 gives me a pair of sevens with an ace kicker, and the ace plays as a high card. Seat 1 only called two streets, so a thin value bet of about a third of the pot seems reasonable.

Top pair with a jack kicker is strong enough to call this small river bet. I need to be right only about 20% of the time.

On the button in 3-handed play, J9o is well within a standard open-raising range to steal the blinds or play in position.

9d7d is a marginal suited connector-ish hand. Out of position in the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act behind me, calling 150 more is unprofitable enough, so I fold.

AK suited is strong against a button min-raise. A larger three-bet builds the pot while compensating for playing out of position.

J9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizeable 3-bet from the big blind.

J2 suited is weak and out of position postflop against two opponents behind me in the blinds; calling 100 to win 150 isn't clearly profitable, so folding is the safer play.

3-2 offsuit is a very weak hand to play out of position against the big blind, so I’ll give up the small blind.
