Hold'em table

9-6 offsuit is a weak hand, and out of position against two players who still have to act behind me it is not worth calling 100 to see a flop. Folding costs nothing.

Raising A4o from the small blind blind-versus-blind to put pressure on the big blind and take the initiative.

JTs plays well in position against a small-blind raise. Calling keeps weaker hands in and preserves room to maneuver postflop.

Flopped two pair on a draw-heavy board as the preflop aggressor; betting half pot for value and protection against spade draws.

J-high has no immediate draw or spade blocker on this ace-high flop. Calling the bet with so little equity is unlikely to be profitable.

Q2o is far too weak to open even on the button in a 3-handed structure.

JTo is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind, though I’ll be out of position after the flop.

AJs in the big blind facing a small blind open in a 3-handed game is strong. A 3-bet to 1000 builds the pot with a hand that plays well, and I'll have position on no one but still have good equity and blockers.

JTo is vulnerable out of position against a large three-bet. Calling another 700 chips is unlikely to be profitable.

Q2 offsuit is a weak button hand with poor playability if called. Folding avoids a marginal spot against both blinds.

Button folded, so it's heads-up in the small blind against the big blind. JTo is a strong hand for that spot, and a raise to 3bb builds the pot while I have the initiative and take away the big blind's cheap flop.

K8s has good equity and playability in position against an SB open, getting 2:1 pot odds to call.

I hold a backdoor-flush and gutshot draw with jack-high on an A-9-4 board and I'm out of position against the big blind. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free card; a small stab is possible but checking is simpler.

I have King-high with no draw on an Ace-high board; checking back keeps the pot controlled and sees a free turn card.

Board is 9c 4c As 4d and I hold only jack-high with a gutshot (T-J with 9 needs Q-K, actually 8 or Q for straight). Both players checked the flop, so the opponent's range is capped but includes many Ax and pairs, and I have little showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free river.

Seat 1 has shown weakness by checking twice on an ace-high board. A probe bet puts maximum pressure on missed unpaired holdings and weak pocket pairs.

Jack-high with a gutshot (needs a Q for the straight) on a 9-4-A-4 board. Calling 350 into a pot of 950 needs about 27% equity, and the gutshot gives only about 9% with no showdown value, so I fold.

7-5 offsuit is a weak hand out of position postflop against two players, and calling 100 to win a 150 pot is not worth it. Folding is the simplest choice.

J6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against the big blind, making a fold the most standard play here.

74s is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

Ace-deuce offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind. Raising to three big blinds puts pressure on their range.

4-6 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling 200 more out of position against a raise from the small blind, with a pot of 400, is not worth it. Folding is the simplest choice.

Eight-three offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two players.

2-4 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Calling 50 more to see a flop out of position against the big blind is a losing play in the long run, so I fold.
