93s is too weak to play from the button in a 3-handed pot, even with position. Folding avoids unnecessary risk.

I have King-Queen suited, a strong hand that benefits from building the pot and isolating the blinds. Raising to 300 puts pressure on the big blind and allows me to take the pot down if they fold.

Th9s has decent playability and I'm getting good pot odds to see a flop in position relative to the raiser, so I'll call and evaluate the board.

I have a backdoor flush draw with KhQh on a 6d-Td-Qd board, but the pot is small and I'm out of position. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see how the opponent acts before committing more chips.

The board is monotone and my top pair is vulnerable to a diamond draw or a made flush, so I'll take the free card and keep the pot small.

The board is a coordinated diamond run with a flush possible, and my Kh Qh is vulnerable. Since the opponent checked the flop and turn, I'll check behind to control pot size and avoid building a big pot with a marginal hand.

The board is a diamond flush draw with no obvious made hand for me, and the opponent checked back the turn, suggesting weakness. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with a marginal hand.

Opponent checked every street on a three-diamond flop, so a flush is unlikely. My two pair is likely best and I can get value from one-pair hands.

I have a King-high flush draw that missed, but the board is very wet and my opponent's river raise is likely a bluff or a weaker two-pair hand. Calling 300 to win a 900 pot is a reasonable showdown play.

I have a pair of tens in the hole, which is a decent preflop holding. Calling the big blind is the standard play here to see a flop without overcommitting.

I have a strong pocket pair in the small blind and want to build the pot while applying pressure to the limper and the big blind. Raising to 300 should isolate or take the pot down preflop.

Getting 2.5:1 with 98o in a likely multiway pot is profitable, and raising would bloat the pot with a marginal hand out of position.

I have a pocket pair of Tens, which is a decent hand to play. The price to call is 200 into a 700 pot, giving me good pot odds to see a flop.

I have an overpair to the board, but the J is a concern. Betting to protect my hand and get value from draws or worse pairs while in position disadvantage.

I have middle pair with a backdoor straight chance, and calling 600 into 1500 gives reasonable odds. Raising risks bloating the pot against a likely overpair or top pair.

I have a middle pair on a dry board and want to control the pot while keeping the turn option open.

Board pairs on the turn with Jd, giving me a set of jacks. Both opponents checked, so I'll take the free card to control pot size and avoid building a big pot with a vulnerable hand.

My two pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but betting risks getting called or raised by better Jx or overpairs, so checking is prudent.

Board is paired with a diamond flush draw; my T-T is vulnerable to overpairs and two-pair. Since it's checked to me on the river, checking back keeps the pot controlled and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

T7s is a playable suited hand and I have position, so calling to see a flop is a reasonable way to keep the pot small while retaining flexibility.

Getting 5:1 pot odds, completing the small blind is cheap with a speculative suited-ish connector; I can fold if the big blind raises.

I am in the big blind with no additional cost to check, and my hand is marginal. Checking keeps the pot small and allows me to see a flop without committing more chips.

Flopped an 8-high straight on a draw-heavy board; betting for value and to charge flush draws.

My hand is weak and out of position; facing a raise on a disconnected flop, folding minimizes losses.

I have top pair with a ten kicker on a wet board and am getting 2:1, so calling is the best way to continue without overcommitting.

I have a straight (4-5-6-7-8) on the turn. Betting for value and to charge flush draws.

Suited connector on the button is strong enough to raise for initiative and fold out the blinds. A 3x open applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

I have 2hTc, a weak offsuit hand. Facing a raise to 300 with only 250 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with such a marginal hand from the small blind.

K6o is marginal but I'm getting a good price in the big blind against a button open, so I'll call and see the flop.

I have an open-ended straight draw and an overcard, but I'm out of position against a preflop raiser. Checking lets me see the turn for free and evaluate the strength of my opponent's hand.

I flopped a 7-high straight on 4-5-3, so I bet for value and to charge any draws.

Calling the 100 big blind with QhKd on the button is a standard play; I want to see a flop cheaply and keep my options open without overcommitting preflop.

A3o is weak but I'm getting great pot odds to complete the small blind for only 50 more, so I'll see a cheap flop and play cautiously out of position.

Pocket eights have decent equity but are vulnerable out of position; checking keeps the pot small and allows me to set-mine or evaluate on the flop.

I have only ace-high on a coordinated board, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a dry board. Raising builds the pot and may isolate the weaker hand, while checking would give a free card.

Ace-high with no draw is too weak to continue facing a flop raise for 400 into a 300 pot. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

88 is a marginal underpair on a Q-T-6 board facing a large flop bet from a limped button, who likely has top pair or better. Pot odds are insufficient given the strength shown and poor equity realization out of position.

T2o is a very weak hand, and calling or raising with it here is likely negative EV. Folding is the safest and most profitable choice.

A7s is strong enough to raise heads-up after the button folds; applying pressure can win the pot preflop or build a pot with good equity.

Seat 3 folded, seat 1 raised to 300, and I only have Jd6d in the BB. The pot odds don't justify calling 200 with this weak hand, so folding is the correct play.
