Hold'em table

Q8 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a small raise uses position without committing too many chips.

A3o plays poorly out of position facing a button open with the big blind still to act behind us.

6s2d is a very weak offsuit hand and I am facing a raise from the button; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

Holding T3 offsuit on the button is too weak to open raise or limp, making fold the standard play.

AQo is strong heads-up against the big blind after the button folded, so I raise for value and to take initiative.

With the button folded, I have position against the small blind. Calling 200 more with 7-5 offsuit is marginal but reasonable at these pot odds.

Continuation bet with AQ overcards on a dry board to take down the pot or get value from worse hands.

Bottom pair and a gutshot have enough equity to call the 300-chip bet in position, without building a larger pot against stronger hands.

I have top pair with top kicker on a draw-heavy board, so I'm betting for value and protection.

Bottom pair and a gutshot have too little equity against a likely value bet, and calling out of position risks another difficult river decision.

A3s on the button is a reasonable hand to raise with, applying pressure on the blinds and taking initiative with position.

Q9 offsuit is marginal against a 3x button raise, especially from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

97 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 3bb open from the button.

On the button in a three-handed game, K2 offsuit is a reasonable steal attempt. A small raise keeps the risk modest while giving the blinds a chance to fold.

Holding pocket eights in the small blind against a button open in 3-handed play, 3-betting to 9bb is standard for value and equity denial.

Ac2h is too weak to continue facing a button open and a large small-blind 3-bet, especially with poor playability and domination risk.

K2 offsuit plays poorly against a large three-bet, and calling risks substantial reverse implied odds despite having position.

Opening from the button with a strong suited connector to build the pot in position.

5h2h is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise and a live big blind. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor playability.

K9 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button open at this price, though it is not strong enough to value-raise.

King-high has some showdown value, but this paired flop does not favor a large out-of-position bet. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me respond to the button's action.

We have gutshot straight draw outs, two overcards, and backdoor hearts on a paired board that connects well with the big blind's calling range. Checking back in position takes a free card to realize equity.

The turn ace favors the preflop raiser's range. With king-high and only a river club draw, checking preserves the chance to improve without building the pot.

The Ace on the turn is an excellent card to represent after the flop checked through. Betting with our gutshot straight draw applies pressure on villain's weak pairs and missed hands.

The small turn bet gives me a reasonable price to draw to a flush, and king-high may still be ahead of some bluffs.

King-high has some showdown value, and the river card does not improve my hand. A bluff is unlikely to fold out an ace or a seven.

We have ten-high with negligible showdown value, but opponent's turn call on an Ace board represents Ax, 7x, or a flush draw that will either call a river bet or already beat us, making a river bluff unprofitable against a calling range.

Suited Broadway JT plays well multiway/deeply and taking the lead lets me apply position; making it three times the big blind pressures the blinds while keeping my range balanced enough to get folds often.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x button open, especially with the big blind still to act.

K2o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.
