Hold'em table

73o is too weak to call or raise from the button in a three-handed pot, especially with two players still to act behind preflop.

7♠8♠ plays well heads-up and benefits from taking initiative. I raise to build a pot with a connected suited hand while retaining maneuverability.

T8o is a weak hand and facing a 3x raise from the small blind. With no pair and weak kickers, folding is the optimal play to preserve my stack.

KQs is a strong button opening hand with excellent playability and equity three-handed. I raise to apply pressure and build value.

A8o from small blind facing a raise to 250 is a marginal hand with poor position. The 2.5x raise suggests strength, and calling invests 200 more chips into a pot where I'm likely behind and will play out of position postflop.

Closing the action with 67o getting good pot odds against a button open, so I call to realize equity.

I have an open-ended straight draw with two overcards, giving me strong equity while retaining fold equity as the preflop raiser. A moderate continuation bet pressures unpaired hands and charges draws.

I have middle pair plus a gutshot and am getting reasonable pot odds; calling keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate the turn.

I have middle pair and a gutshot, but the board is wet and opponent has shown strength; checking controls the pot and keeps their range wide.

The third heart is a strong pressure card after villain checked, and I retain a gutshot to the king-high straight if called. A substantial turn bet can fold many single-pair and draw holdings.

7h-Ks is a weak hand (unsuited king with a poor kicker) in a 3-player game. In button position facing a raise from the big blind and small blind already invested, folding avoids playing marginal hands out of position, preserving chips for stronger opportunities.

Button folded, so it's heads-up and my J7s has decent equity against a random big blind. A min-raise applies pressure and takes initiative while keeping the pot manageable.

Three-handed on the button, raising with a suited connector applies pressure on the blinds and gives me position if called. A 3x raise is a standard size that can take down the blinds or build a pot with a playable hand.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

2-7 offsuit is the worst possible hand in hold'em. Facing a button raise of 300 chips (3x the big blind) with a weak hand and 100 chips already in the pot, folding is the mathematically correct play to minimize expected losses.

6-4 offsuit is too weak to open profitably three-handed from the button under these stack depths.

5-Jack offsuit is a weak hand with poor playability. Facing a big blind raise with only a marginal hand, folding minimizes losses and preserves chips for stronger opportunities.

5-Q offsuit is a weak hand in 3-way preflop play. Folding avoids committing chips with a marginal holding against two opponents who have already invested.

T4o is weak but I'm getting 3:1 to complete in the small blind against only the big blind; I'll take a cheap flop and proceed cautiously.

Check the big blind with a weak, disconnected hand rather than inflate the pot out of position.

Weak hand on a paired ace-high board with no showdown value; checking keeps the pot small and allows a free turn card while avoiding a risky bluff out of position.

With no pair or strong draw in a limped pot, I check back to realize equity and avoid betting into a potentially strong ace-heavy range.

I have two pair (aces and fours) and want to charge worse pairs or draws; I can fold if raised.

Nine-high has no showdown value on this paired ace board and no meaningful draw. Folding avoids calling a turn bet with insufficient equity.
