Hold'em table

I have Q8o on the button with no action yet; the blinds have already invested and I lack position or a strong hand to justify calling or raising preflop.

Button folded and AJo is well ahead of the big blind's range, so I raise to 3bb for value and to take control of the pot.

6d-Ts offsuit is weak against a raise, and folding preserves chips rather than calling out of position with a marginal hand.

Q7 offsuit is too weak and dominated to open from the button, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up against the big blind with a live but weak hand.

I am in the big blind with Td Ah and facing no additional call, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a pot with a mediocre hand. I will see a cheap flop and reassess based on the board.

Weak hand with no pair and no draw on a King-high flop; checking to control pot size.

Board is dry with a K-high; my Td-Ah is weak and checking keeps the pot small while preserving optionality. I'll see a cheap turn card before deciding.

I have a backdoor flush draw and no pair; checking keeps the pot small while I see if the river completes my hand.

Board is dry and I have no made hand; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bluff against a likely strong range.

My hand is just king-high via the board with no pair and no flush; nothing to gain by betting into a checked-down pot with a weak holding.

The board is paired with a King and Ten, and my Ace-high with a Ten kicker is vulnerable to many hands. Since the opponent checked twice on the turn and river, checking behind is the safest play to avoid bloating the pot with a marginal hand.

Q6 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise; folding preserves chips.

I have suited connectors and the pot odds are favorable; calling keeps my stack intact while avoiding a multi-way pot. I'll see a flop and decide based on the board texture.

62o is weak, but the small blind has only completed and checking is free, so I take the flop rather than fold equity.

I have a backdoor flush and straight draw with 6h7h on a ThJsQc board, but no made hand. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves my option to bluff or take a free card on the turn.

I have 62 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a coordinated TJQ flop, so there is no value in betting. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids spewing chips with air.

The board is coordinated with a flush draw and straight possibilities, and my suited connectors have potential. Since the opponent checked and I can check, I'll keep the pot small and see the river before committing more chips.

Bottom pair with a deuce kicker on a connected T-J-Q board is too weak to bet; checking is free and keeps the pot small.

Board is wet and dangerous with a straight and flush possible; my 6h7h is a weak hand that likely loses to many holdings. Checking preserves my remaining stack and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

I have a weak pair of sixes on a highly connected board, but seat_1 checked and there is no bet to call. Checking realizes my thin showdown value without turning a made hand into a bluff.

2c-Tc is a weak hand on the button facing a 100bb open from the big blind; folding avoids investing chips with poor equity.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. 98o has enough playability to complete for 50 into a 150 pot rather than fold or inflate the pot.

Small pocket pair in the big blind; checking to see a cheap flop and try to hit a set.

Middle pair with a weak kicker is too thin to lead out of position into the big blind on a king-jack board, so I check for pot control.

Pocket twos on a KJ8 board with two overcards is weak; check back to control pot size and see the turn cheaply.

I have a weak pair of eights on a king-jack board with two overcards, so checking controls the pot and preserves showdown value against the big blind.

Bottom pair at best with no draw; checking behind is best since betting has no value and pot is small.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker on a king-jack board after both streets checked through. Checking realizes showdown value rather than betting into a range that mostly continues with better.

Only a low pair of deuces with no improvement; check to showdown for free rather than betting into a likely stronger range.

T4o is too weak to open even on the button; folding avoids paying a blind with a dominated, disconnected offsuit hand.

Heads-up against BB with a suited playable hand, raising for value and to apply pressure since button folded.

My hand is too weak to continue against a raise from the small blind. I will fold to preserve my remaining stack.

Weak offsuit-ish hand (J5s is suited but low equity as a button open facing no raise yet; still, folding a marginal hand from button versus two live blinds is fine, but actually calling cheaply could be considered).

I hold Td2c, a weak hand with no playability. Seat 2 has already invested 100 as the big blind, and with seat 3 folded, calling 50 more is a -EV decision. Folding preserves my stack.
