Hold'em table

J4 offsuit is too weak to enter from the button for a full big blind, and raising would risk more with a poor hand.

Button folded and pocket nines are ahead of the big blind's range, so I raise to 300 to build the pot and take the initiative heads-up.

Holding an unplayable 82 offsuit facing a 3x open from the small blind; a clear fold.

A8o is a standard button open in a three-handed game; raising to 3x isolates and takes the initiative rather than flatting the big blind.

Folding 76 offsuit from the small blind against a 3bb button raise.

T2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise, especially out of position. The call price is not enough to offset its poor equity and playability.

Opening from the button with QTo to take initiative and leverage position in a 3-handed dynamic.

A7 offsuit is marginal, but the button’s small open and the favorable price make calling preferable to folding. I’ll avoid inflating the pot out of position with a 3-bet.

J6 suited is too weak to continue multiway against a button raise and a small-blind call; the price does not justify the dominated, low-playability hand.

With ace-high and only a backdoor flush draw, I prefer to check out of position rather than build the pot. I can respond to the button’s action on a later street.

C-betting one-third pot in position with a gutshot straight draw and an overcard on a disconnected rainbow board.

The small bet offers favorable pot odds, and my ace-high may be ahead of some of the button’s wide range. I also have a backdoor club-flush draw, so calling is preferable to folding or bluff-raising.

I have only ace-high, though a six or ten can complete a straight. Checking lets me see the river without inflating the pot against the flop bettor's continuing range.

I turned the nut straight with Q-T on an 8-4-J-9 board. Betting 700 into a 1000 pot builds value against two pairs, sets, and club flush draws.

I have only ace-high and a gutshot that needs a ten, so the river equity is far too low to call this turn bet.

T9 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and raising to 250 applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

97 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open with the big blind still to act, so folding is the highest-EV option.

J7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open.

85o is too weak to open even from the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated hand out of position postflop.

96 offsuit is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position against the big blind.

J6o is too weak to profitably open from the button 3-handed at 100bb depth.

The button has folded, and the 50-chip call gets a favorable price to see a flop heads-up. Raising with 2-6 offsuit would build a pot with a very weak hand.

Button folded and the small blind only completed, so K9s is ahead of a wide limp range and I have position. A raise to 400 builds the pot and folds out weaker hands without overcommitting.

I have a weak offsuit hand and would be out of position against a sizable raise. Calling would put too many chips in with poor prospects.
