Holdem table

A7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; raise to 2.5 big blinds for value and initiative.

JTs suited is strong in 3-handed play; a 3-bet to ~3.4x builds a pot against the button's wide opening range and pressures the big blind while I retain fold equity and initiative.

Folding T9s facing an open and a large 3-bet with the original raiser still left to act.

A7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizable three-bet; calling would require substantial equity and risks domination by the small blind’s range.

Ten-three offsuit is too weak to call 100 into a 150 pot needing ~40% equity, and raising it from the button invites defense from both blinds with a hand that flops poorly. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

J7 offsuit plays poorly out of position against the big blind, making an easy fold.

Holding T5o on the button is too weak to open profitably even 3-handed, making fold the standard play.

The button folded, leaving a heads-up pot, and completing costs only 50 more for favorable pot odds. I’ll take a flop with this weak hand rather than inflate the pot.

The small blind limped, indicating a weak capped range, and I have position with K9s which has solid equity; a standard 3x raise isolates and builds the pot.

8♣4♥ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling a raise out of position from the small blind is unlikely to be profitable.

Q6 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

Weak 94o facing a 2.5x raise out of position; calling is -EV, so folding is clearly best.

K3s is a standard defend in the big blind against a 2.5x button open getting 2.7:1 pot odds closing the action.

Check to the preflop aggressor with bottom pair on a coordinated flop.

I have a strong combo draw with a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw, so a small bet builds the pot while retaining plenty of equity if called.

Getting over 3.7 to 1 on a call against a small c-bet on a low board, bottom pair with a King kicker has sufficient equity to continue.

I hold fourth pair on a coordinated turn board and should check to see what the in-position aggressor decides to do.

I have a strong made straight and a heart flush draw, so I’ll value-bet while charging hands with a six or other draws to see the river. A 600-chip bet is a substantial but manageable share of the pot.

Bottom pair with a weak gutshot facing a second barrel on a connected board cannot profitably continue.

Q9o is well above the threshold for a button open in 3-handed play; raising takes initiative with position and can win the blinds outright, while limping gives both blinds cheap flops.

J2o is far too weak to call or 3-bet from the small blind against a button open.

A♠? A-high with an offsuit 8 is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button open, and calling 200 offers favorable pot odds. I’ll avoid inflating the pot out of position.

I have top pair with a modest kicker on a dry board, so checking keeps weaker hands in and avoids building a pot unnecessarily out of position.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on an Ace-high board; a small bet in position folds out underpairs and charges weaker Qx, while keeping losses modest when the BB is trapping with Ax.

Top pair is strong enough to continue against a small bet, but my weak kicker makes raising unnecessary. Calling keeps bluffs and weaker hands in the pot while controlling the size.

I have top two pair on a turn that also brings a spade draw, so I’ll lead for value and protection. A substantial bet can get calls from weaker aces and draws while charging them to continue.

Holding 94 offsuit on the button is well outside any standard opening range in 3-handed play, making it a clear fold.

With the button folded, 5♦3♦ is a playable suited hand getting 3-to-1 odds to complete from the small blind. I’ll see a flop cheaply rather than inflate the pot out of position.

95o is far too weak to value-raise, and the small blind's limp makes a bluff-raise marginal. Checking my big blind option gives a free flop with position in a heads-up pot.

I have a weak bottom pair on a coordinated, queen-high flop and am out of position, so I’ll take the free option rather than build the pot.

Checked to in position with 9-high and no equity; the SB limper's flop check signals weakness, so a small 1.5bb bet has strong fold equity to take down the 2bb pot.

Bottom pair is weak, but the bet is small enough that the pot odds justify continuing against possible draws and bluffs.

The paired queen makes the board more dangerous, and my small pair of threes has little value for betting. I’ll take the free river and avoid building the pot with a weak hand.

I have modest showdown value with queens and threes, but the flop bet and turn check leave plenty of stronger hands in the opponent’s range. Checking avoids risking chips on a thin value bet or a low-equity bluff.

My 5-9 essentially plays the board (pair of queens, T-9-7 kickers), which loses to nearly every Q-x, pair, or even A/K/J-high holding, so betting has no value and bluffing only folds out hands I already beat. Checking realizes my slim showdown equity at zero cost.
