Hold'em table

K3 offsuit is too weak to open from the button; folding avoids investing chips with a poorly playable hand.

J2s is too weak to profitably complete or open-raise out of position blind versus blind, making fold the standard play.

6s 3d is a very weak offsuit holding that is unprofitable to open even on the button.

AJo suited heads-up against only the big blind is a strong raising hand; I'll raise for value and fold equity rather than just completing.

A4o has an ace and position against a single 3x small-blind open after the button folded. Calling 200 into 400 is priced reasonably; a raise builds a pot this weak offsuit hand does not want.

I raised preflop with AJ and flopped top pair on a dry board; betting for value and protection against one caller is standard.

Ace-high with no pair and no draw on 2-T-8 cannot profitably call a 900 flop bet into 600. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a missed hand.

A6s is a decent suited ace heads-up after the button folds, so I raise to take the initiative and build the pot.

Calling from the big blind with suited connector JTs to play in position against the small blind's open.

Dry rainbow flop favors a small continuation bet as the preflop raiser; ace-high has little made value but can fold out worse hands cheaply.

Getting 4 to 1 in position against a 1/3 pot c-bet with two overcards, a backdoor flush draw, and backdoor straight potential.

I have the nut flush draw with ace-high and no made hand, so a turn semi-bluff applies pressure and builds the pot for when the flush arrives.

I hold only Jack-high with a gutshot straight draw (four outs to a nine), which does not provide enough equity to justify calling a 650-chip turn bet into a 1650-chip pot.

AJo is ahead of both blinds' ranges on the button, so I open to 2.5bb to build the pot and take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

J5o is too weak to continue from the small blind facing a button open raise.

3s8c offsuit is far too weak to defend the big blind against a 2.5x button raise, especially out of position and often dominated. Folding loses nothing beyond the already-committed blind.

Holding 52 offsuit on the button, this hand is far too weak to open raise or limp even in 3-handed play.

A8s from the SB heads-up is well ahead of the BB's calling range; a raise builds the pot with position and fold equity.

Heads-up with position against a small-blind open, A4o has enough equity and playability to continue. Calling keeps the pot small and realizes the ace's showdown value rather than bloating it with a weak kicker.

I whiffed the dry K43 flop with ace-high, but as the preflop raiser a half-pot continuation bet has good fold equity against the big blind's wide calling range; holding the As also blocks strong ace hands. If raised, I can release cheaply.

Heads-up with a pair of fours and an ace kicker, I am getting 3:1 to continue against a one-third-pot c-bet. Calling keeps the pot small while retaining showdown value.

I missed the turn (2c) with just ace-high; seat_1 has shown strength by calling twice. Checking is free and allows a cheap river or a fold if they bet.

I have a pair of fours with an ace and a wheel draw, enough showdown value to check behind after the opponent's turn check rather than inflate the pot.

I have the wheel (A-2-3-4-5), which beats most of villain's range including kings and pairs. A moderate river value bet targets calls from Kx and stubborn one-pair hands while not overcommitting against a possible six.

K2 offsuit is in the bottom ~35% of hands and plays poorly postflop, often dominated by better kings even from the button 3-handed. Folding and waiting for a better spot is the highest-EV line.

94o is too weak to call or raise out of position against the big blind, so I fold and give up the small blind.
