Hold'em table

Q6o is a standard button open in a 3-handed game, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to pressure both blinds.

J8 offsuit is marginal out of position, but the small blind already invested 50 and the price is reasonable against a button open. Calling keeps the pot manageable while defending a playable hand.

8-5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a raise and a caller, despite the price to continue.

With J-high and no meaningful draw on a dry paired-ace flop, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into the preflop raiser’s range.

On a paired, dry ace-high board the preflop raiser holds the range advantage, so a small c-bet works well; Qd6s also carries a backdoor flush draw. Betting a third of the pot should take down many of the small blind's weak holdings cheaply.

I have no pair or meaningful draw, and calling 200 into an 800-chip pot with only J-high is unlikely to be profitable.

7♥3♠ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling out of position after the blinds act risks playing a dominated hand. I’ll fold rather than invest chips with poor equity.

With 8-6 offsuit in the small blind, calling 50 more is a low-cost way to see a flop heads-up. Raising would build a larger pot out of position with a marginal hand.

A4o is well ahead of a small blind limping range, so raising for value and initiative from the big blind is profitable; 4x the limp keeps the pot manageable.

Eight-six offsuit plays poorly out of position against a large raise, so calling 300 more is not worthwhile.

A8 offsuit is a strong button hand three-handed, so I raise to build the pot and apply pressure in position.

42s out of position in the small blind facing a 2.5x button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold. Calling 200 to win 400 is not enough given the poor playability.

J4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise; despite the pot odds, it has poor equity realization and is often dominated.

J9 suited is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to pressure the blinds.

4♣3 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a button raise, especially out of position with the big blind still to act.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a 2.5bb button open, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

With ace-high and no strong draw on this flop, I prefer to check to the preflop raiser rather than build the pot out of position.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a connected board: c-bet about 2/3 pot for value and protection against the many draws the big blind's calling range has.

Ace-high with a weak backdoor draw is not strong enough to continue out of position against this flop bet.

J9 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. I’ll raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

Against a likely wide button opening range, 9♦7♦ is a reasonable occasional three-bet bluff from the small blind. Raising avoids playing a multiway pot out of position.

AKs is a premium hand facing an SB 3-bet over a button open, so 4-betting builds the pot and applies pressure while keeping 5-bet jams manageable. The size is about 2.4x the 3-bet, which is standard from out of position.

J♣9♠ is far too weak to continue against a 4-bet to 25 big blinds, especially with another player already involved.

The big blind's large cold four-bet represents a strong range. Calling 14.5 big blinds with 9♦7♦ out of position is unlikely to be profitable.

J2 suited is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A minimum raise keeps the risk modest while using position.

32o is too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still left to act. Folding is clearly correct.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open, especially out of position. I’ll avoid calling the extra 100 chips with a dominated hand.
