Hold'em table

78o is too weak to open from the button for a full bet; folding avoids dominated spots and keeps the stack intact.

T5o is too weak to complete or raise blind vs blind out of position.

JTo is well within the standard button opening range in 3-handed play, so we open to 2.5x to apply pressure on the blinds and take initiative.

96 offsuit is far too weak to call a 2.5x button raise out of position against two players. Folding and saving 200 chips is clearly the best play.

K5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open after the small blind folds. Folding avoids paying 150 more with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Suited connectors on the button play well postflop; a small raise builds the pot with position while keeping risk low.

A7o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; calling leaves me dominated and poorly placed, and a raise would be a spew.

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

Q8s is a playable suited queen on the button in three-handed poker, so I open to 2.5bb rather than limp or fold.

With J9s in the small blind against a button open and zero rake, calling offers good pot odds and playability postflop.

T2o is the worst starting hand; facing a 2.5bb raise and a call, folding from the big blind loses the least. Calling with dominated, unconnected trash has no equity edge.

We have J-high with minimal equity on an A-K high board that strongly favors the preflop raiser, so a check is standard.

Queen-high has little showdown value, but as the preflop raiser I can take this A-K-x flop with a small c-bet after the caller checks. A one-third-pot bet pressures weak hands while keeping the pot manageable if called.

I have Jack-high with minimal equity and no direct draw on an Ace-King high board against the preflop aggressor's continuation bet.

Q7o is slightly too weak to open raise profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

K5s on the button in a 3-max game is a standard open — position and a suited king justify taking the initiative, and folding is too tight here.

Q8s is too weak to call a button raise out of position with the big blind still to act, so folding avoids a dominated spot.

Ad 3d has strong playability and equity against a button open in 3-handed play, getting good pot odds to defend the big blind.

I have bottom pair with top kicker on a dry K-high board; checking to the preflop aggressor is standard to control pot size and keep their bluffs in.

I have top pair (kings) on a dry K93 flop after raising preflop and getting a check-through, so a half-pot continuation bet charges weaker kings/nines and protects my hand.

We have bottom pair with top kicker and backdoor equity getting roughly 2.85-to-1 pot odds against a standard button continuation bet.

We have bottom two pair (Nines and Threes) on a paired board; checking is standard to control the pot and evaluate seat 3's action.

I have two pair (nines and threes) with top kicker, which has decent showdown value. Checking lets me see showdown cheaply or catch bluffs from missed broadway cards.
