Hold'em table

Opening from the button with QhTs, which is well within standard 3-handed button opening range. A min-raise provides good risk-to-reward ratio.

94 offsuit is one of the worst starting hands, and facing a button raise to 200 out of position with the big blind still to act, calling 150 more has no profitable line. Folding is clearly best.

54 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise; its poor postflop playability makes the call unattractive despite the price.

K7o on the button three-handed is a standard open with position and fold equity; a 3x raise pressures the blinds without committing too much.

Q4 suited is too weak to defend profitably out of position against a 3x button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

86o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.

On the button in a three-handed game, T-7 offsuit is playable as an open. I make the minimum raise to apply pressure while keeping the risk modest.

KQo is very strong 3-handed against a button min-raise. Raising to 8 BB allows us to take initiative out of position and capitalize on our equity advantage.

K3 offsuit is far too weak to face a raise and re-raise; I'm dominated by any strong king and crushed by most 3-betting ranges. Calling 700 into this pot has negative equity, so folding is clearly best.

T7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet, especially out of position to the aggressor postflop.

74o is too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so it's a cheap heads-up pot versus the big blind; JTo is connected with decent equity and only costs 50 more to see a flop, so folding gives up too much.

K-2 offsuit is too weak to build a pot with, and I can see the flop for free against the limping small blind.

Heads-up with top pair jacks on a rainbow J-Q-8 flop, I bet around 70% pot for value against the big blind's wide range and to charge draws like K-T or nines.

K-high has no pair or meaningful immediate draw on this connected flop, and the sizable bet is not worth calling with only backdoor possibilities.

On the button in a 3-handed game I should open very wide; 97o has enough playability in position to min-raise and pressure the blinds, risking only 100 more to win the 150 pot immediately or play a flop with position.

Pocket fives have useful set-mining and showdown value at a modest price against a button raise. Calling preserves the option to continue on favorable flops without inflating the pot out of position.

Q2o is too weak and disconnected to play multiway out of position, making it a clear fold despite good pot odds.

With only an underpair on a connected flop, betting is unlikely to get better hands to fold and risks building the pot. I’ll check and reassess if the button bets.

I have an open-ended straight draw (needs a 6 or Q) on J-T-8 after the preflop raiser's caller checked to me; a half-pot semi-bluff builds the pot with 8 outs and can take it down now.

With only a small underpair on a connected J-T-8 flop, my hand is unlikely to withstand further pressure and has few clean improvement cards. The call price is not attractive against a bet on this board.

J♠8♦ is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

4d 2h is an extremely weak unsuited hand out of position facing a raise; folding is standard.

K8o is a marginal but defensible BB call against a 2.5bb button open with only 150 more to pay into a 400 pot; folding gives up too much equity against a likely wide stealing range.

I missed the flop with king-high and I'm out of position against the preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to aggression.

I have no pair or immediate draw on a board that connects well with the big blind’s calling range. I’ll take the free card in position rather than bluff into a likely range advantage.

I hold K-high with no pair on an ace-high board; betting as a bluff into a preflop raiser who checked back flop is risky, so I take a free card and only continue if the river improves me or he shows weakness.

The turn check gives me a chance to take the pot with a small delayed stab, and I have a gutshot as backup if called.

King-high with no pair, draw, or equity on an ace-high board; seat_3's preflop raise plus delayed turn bet most often represents an ace. Calling 180 to win 730 with only bluff-catcher potential and no showdown value is -EV.
