Hold'em table

I have pocket Jacks on the button, a strong starting hand. I'll raise to 400 to build the pot and isolate the blinds, leveraging my positional advantage.

84o out of the small blind facing a 4x button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold. It plays poorly out of position.

68o is too weak to defend the big blind out of position against a 4bb button open; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

32o is one of the weakest hands, even on the button in 3-handed play with two players still to act behind, so folding is standard.

68o is too weak to call or raise heads-up out of position against the big blind; folding the small blind loses only 50.

A7o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than flat-calling.

7s6h is a weak hand to defend the small blind against a 250 raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack and avoids a difficult post-flop situation with poor equity.

82o is near the bottom of the big blind's defending range against a button open, and it realizes its equity poorly out of position, so I'm folding this marginal spot.

With Ah3s on the button and no callers yet, folding is the most EV-positive play against the blinds' range; I avoid investing chips with a weak hand and preserve my stack for better spots.

Blind vs blind with the button folded, 74s is a reasonable raise from the small blind at 3x. It plays better as a raise than a limp because it can take the pot preflop and has fold equity postflop.

Pocket nines is ahead of a small-blind open after the button folds, so I 3-bet to 900 to build the pot and deny equity.

74s out of position against a 3x 3-bet realizes too little equity to call profitably, and it is a poor 4-bet bluff candidate without blockers. Folding is the disciplined play.

32o is too weak to open from the button in a 3-handed game against two blinds at 100bb deep, so I'm folding.

T2o is too weak to complete from the small blind out of position against the big blind, so folding the extra 50 is the higher-EV line.

89o is playable enough to open from the button in three-handed; a small raise takes the initiative and can win the blinds.

I have a strong suited connector (Js Jh) and the pot odds justify calling the 200 to see a flop. I'll keep the hand cheap and evaluate the board before committing more chips.

Getting 150 to win 600 (4:1) in the big blind with suited Q7, which is enough equity to call in a three-way pot and play the flop.

I have a strong top pair with a flush draw on a dry board, and checking allows me to control pot size and potentially induce bluffs from the button while keeping my hand's strength hidden.

Q-high with a weak backdoor spade draw on an ace-high board in a three-way pot, out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets the button c-bet.

Eight-nine offsuit has no pair or draw on an ace-high dry flop, and both opponents checked multiway. Checking back avoids bloating the pot with air.

The board is paired with a 4 on the turn, giving me top pair with Jx, but the pot is small and everyone checked the flop. Checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids building a big pot with a vulnerable hand against potential straights or sets.

Both opponents checked the flop, including the preflop raiser, and the small blind checked again on the turn, so both ranges look weak. A small stab on this paired, ace-high board can take the pot away, and Q-high has little showdown value.

I have 89 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a paired ace board, so calling 350 is not justified.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a paired board. Calling 350 keeps me in the hand against the button's turn raise without overcommitting, and the pot odds justify continuing.

The pot is 1450 with no bet to call, and my Js-Jh hand is vulnerable on a 4-4-2-A-6 board where seat_2 holds the initiative. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal holding.

Queen-high rarely wins at showdown. Seat_1's check-call, check line looks capped around weak pairs and missed draws, so a 1000-chip bet into 1450 can fold out better hands.

Seat 2's river raise to 1000 over a checked pot with a paired board looks like a bluff or a weak value bet; my Js-Jh can credibly call as a bluff catcher since I only beat a bluff and the board is not scary for a wide range.
