Holdem table

On the button with A2, I raise to apply pressure and take advantage of positional edge in a 3-handed game.

Pocket nines are ahead of a button open in three-handed play, so I 3-bet to build the pot and take the initiative before the big blind acts.

Ten-seven offsuit is far too weak to call 700 more facing a button open and a small-blind three-bet, especially out of position. Folding and preserving chips is clearly best.

A2 offsuit is dominated by a tight 3-bet range and plays poorly out of position postflop, so folding preserves chips rather than continuing with a weak hand.

45o is too weak to open from the button into two live blinds; it has poor showdown value and plays badly if called. Folding avoids a marginal spot with little equity.

Ace-seven offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open-raise; I take position and fold equity against both blinds rather than flatting into them.

5s3s is a weak, unsuited low card hand facing a 3x raise from the button; not worth defending from the small blind out of position.

K3 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, especially out of position. Folding avoids dominated spots and poor postflop playability.

4-2 offsuit is a weak hand not worth calling from the button in a 3-handed pot.

Button folded, so I only need 50 more to see a flop heads-up with suited connectors. The price is good enough to continue rather than fold or inflate the pot out of position.

64o is too weak to raise, but checking my big blind option sees a free flop against the small blind's limp, which likely indicates a weak range I can exploit postflop.

I have a flush draw plus a gutshot on a dry board heads-up, so a small semi-bluff builds the pot and can fold out better hands while I still have strong equity if called.

I hold 6-high with no pair and no real draw on the 8h-2d-9d board; calling 150 into a 350 pot with almost no equity is clearly -EV, so folding is best.

KJo is strong enough to open from the button in a three-handed pot, and a 3x raise builds the pot while folding out weaker hands.

3d4h offsuit is far too weak to call a 3x button raise out of position with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding costs nothing and preserves my stack for better spots.

87o out of position facing a raise with a fold already ahead; not worth defending here.

AJs is a strong hand on the button in 3-handed play; a standard 3x open builds the pot with value hands while retaining fold equity against the blinds.

A6 offsuit isn't strong enough to continue against a button open with a big blind still to act behind me.

QTo has enough equity and playability versus a button open to call 200 into 450 rather than fold or inflate the pot with a weak three-bet.

Queen-ten missed this ace-high flop and has only a backdoor diamond draw, so checking is best with no bet to call. Let the preflop raiser act rather than bluffing into a range that often has the ace.

I flopped top pair with the top kicker after raising preflop, and the big blind checked to me. Betting ~60% pot charges worse aces and diamond draws while protecting my hand.

Queen-high with no pair and no draw on an ace-high flop is too weak to continue against a c-bet out of position. Folding saves chips for a better spot.
