Holdem table

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to call or raise from the button, so folding preserves chips.

KJo is strong heads-up from the small blind, so raise for value and to take initiative rather than limp.

T6o is too weak to defend against an open raise from the small blind.

On the button three-handed, J3 offsuit is marginal but playable as an open; a modest raise gives me a chance to take the blinds while keeping the risk controlled.

Nine-four offsuit is an unplayable hand from the small blind facing a button open.

J5o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise; pot odds do not offset poor playability and domination risk.

T6 offsuit is too weak of a holding to open-raise from the button even in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with position postflop. J9o is strong enough to raise for initiative rather than complete and play passively.

JTo is strong enough to defend against a likely wide small-blind raise, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

I completely missed A85 with J9 and no draw, but as the preflop raiser a small one-third-pot c-bet can fold out much of the big blind's missed range.

I have no pair and only weak runner-runner draws on an ace-high board, so calling the flop bet is not justified.

98s is a playable suited connector on the button, so I open to 2.5bb to build the pot and take the initiative rather than flat-calling.

A-T offsuit is strong against a button open and has a useful ace blocker. I’ll 3-bet from the small blind to apply pressure and avoid inviting the big blind into a multiway pot.

Holding 2h 5s facing an open and a 3-bet, this is an easy fold preflop.

98s is too weak to continue against a large 8.5bb 3-bet; the price and reverse implied odds do not justify a call or a 4-bet bluff.

T7 suited is a playable button open in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the sizing modest.

Holding pocket eights in the small blind against a button open, a 3-bet to 10bb isolates the opener and protects our equity out of position.

J6o is too weak to continue against a button open and a small-blind 3-bet to 10bb. Folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand out of position.

T7 suited is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet, especially with 7.5 big blinds more to call.

J6s is near the bottom of the button opening range in 3-handed play, making a fold a safe, disciplined decision.

AQ offsuit is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind after the button folded, so I raise to 300 for value rather than just completing.

J♣9♣ is a playable suited hand heads-up from the big blind, and calling 200 offers a reasonable price without inflating the pot against the small blind’s 3x raise.

I have kings and queens on a paired flop and only one opponent, so a two-thirds pot bet gets value from worse pairs and draws while keeping the pot manageable if they have trips.

J-9 has only four immediate outs to a straight, plus a small backdoor-flush chance, which is not enough equity to call this bet. I fold rather than continue with a weak draw on a paired board.
