Hold'em table

Strong ace on the button, raising to build the pot and put pressure on the blinds.

Kc7d is a weak hand that likely dominated by the button's raise; folding preserves my stack against a likely strong range.

On the button with a marginal hand, raising applies pressure on the blinds, takes the initiative, and lets me use position if called.

With 9c6h I have no hand strength and no backdoor equity. Facing a 300 raise from the button, folding is the only +EV play.

A5s is a reasonable defend against a button raise, and I'm getting good pot odds to see a flop in position out of the big blind. Calling keeps the pot manageable with a hand that can flop well.

I have middle pair with top kicker, so I have decent showdown value. Checking lets the preflop raiser continuation bet, and I can decide whether to call or raise based on the turn card.

I have only T-high with no club on a draw-heavy board, and the big blind already checked; checking keeps the pot small and realizes my equity for free.

I picked up a pair of fives on the turn and the flop was checked through, so a moderate bet should take down the pot against unpaired overcards. If called, I still have showdown value with my ace kicker.

7c Ks is a marginal hand, and I'm in the big blind position with a raise to call. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Q8o is strong enough to raise from the small blind against a single big blind, and raising puts pressure on the big blind while taking initiative. I'll make a standard min-raise to try to win the pot preflop.

As7s has strong equity against a small-blind raise after the button folded, and I'm getting 3:1 pot odds to close the action. Calling keeps the pot controlled while I'm out of position.

I have top pair with the As on a monotone flop; betting for value and protection against diamond draws is best after the small blind checks.

4-8 offsuit is too weak to invest another 100 chips out of position against two opponents, so I fold and preserve my stack.

Button folded, so A2o is ahead of a random big blind. Raising to 250 takes initiative and can fold out weaker hands while keeping the pot manageable.

7c8d is a weak hand to call a raise from the small blind, especially out of position. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Three-handed on the button, K6o is worth a small steal raise to apply pressure on the blinds and take control with position. If called, I can reevaluate postflop.

6h3s is a weak hand that cannot stand a raise from the button, so folding avoids losing chips with poor equity.

I'm getting good pot odds (400 to call 150) and T4o has enough equity against a button open to see a flop in position disadvantage.

I have a flush draw but no made hand, so I check to see the turn cheaply and avoid getting raised on this monotone board.

I have top pair with Ks on a coordinated board; opponent checked flop and turn, so a value bet charges draws and gets called by worse Jx/8x.

I have pocket Kings, a very strong preflop hand. I'll raise to 300 to build the pot and isolate the blinds, putting maximum pressure on them while I'm still deep.

Q7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button raise, especially with the small blind already folded. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop playability.
