Hold'em table

Calling 1 big blind with 7-8 offsuit is reasonable in position against the blinds, getting good pot odds to see a flop.

T5 offsuit out of position against a limper, with the big blind still to act, is a weak hand. Calling 50 into 250 gets decent odds, but the hand realizes its equity poorly from the small blind, so folding is marginally better.

Check the big blind with pocket threes heads-up rather than inflate the pot preflop.

I will make a small continuation bet into the limped pot. This can fold out unpaired overcards and gets value/protection from weaker holdings.

My hand is 7-high with no real draw on this ace-high board, and I'm facing a bet with poor equity. Folding is the disciplined play.

JTo on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open-raise; a 2.5bb open attacks the blinds with a hand that plays well postflop.

9-6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against an open, especially with the big blind still to act.

Calling 150 to see a flop offers good pot odds with K5o, and folding would give up too much equity against a button open.

My hand is weak with only king-high and no real draw on a paired, coordinated board, so I check to control pot size and avoid building a pot with little equity.

I have trip jacks on a wet, diamond-heavy board, and the Td gives me a backdoor flush draw. Betting about two-thirds pot gets value from queens, draws and weaker jacks while charging the draws.

K-high with no real draw on a paired board is far behind the opponent's range, and I'm out of position. Calling 350 is not profitable here.

6-5 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter against both blinds at this stack depth.

Calling 50 is cheap with A7o and gives good pot odds heads-up, while avoiding bloating the pot with a marginal hand out of position.

K2o is ahead of a typical small-blind limping range, and I have position, so raising to isolate and take the initiative is reasonable. Checking would also be fine, but a raise to 4bb applies pressure on a weak limp.

Q8s is playable from the button and I only need to call one big blind with position. I'll see the flop and evaluate from there.

J9s in the small blind facing a button limp plays well as an iso-raise that can take the pot down now, but calling for 50 into 250 is also fine; a raise to 450 builds a pot with initiative against a weak limping range.

T2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a sizable raise out of position, especially with another player still involved.

Calling with Q8s getting good pot odds and position; the small blind's raise is not huge and my suited queen has playability.

The A-K-3 board strongly favors my preflop raising range over the limp-caller's, so a small c-bet should win often. My backdoor diamonds give the bluff some equity if called.

Queen-high with no pair and only a backdoor flush draw on a dry A-K-3 board; calling is poor equity. Folding to the flop bet.

Q7o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open-raise; stealing the blinds with a 2.5bb raise is profitable.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against the button open from the small blind in a three-handed game.

I'm getting good pot odds (400 in pot, 150 to call) and 5-9 offsuit has enough equity against a button open to make calling profitable. Folding would give up too much equity for this price.

I have no pair or draw on this flop and am out of position against a preflop raiser. Checking lets me see the opponent's action without investing more chips; I'll fold to any bet.

As the in-position preflop raiser on a K-high board that favors my range, a small c-bet with Q-high plus backdoor straight and flush draws can take the pot down and keeps some equity if called.

I have no pair and only a weak backdoor draw on a coordinated board, while facing a continuation bet from the preflop raiser. Calling is not profitable, so I fold.

Button K-five suited is a reasonable steal candidate three-handed, with useful blockers and postflop playability. A 2.5bb open applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

Q8s has enough equity and playability against a button open, and I'm getting good pot odds to call from the small blind.

A3 suited in the big blind is getting 150 to win a 750 pot in a multiway spot, and it plays well for nut flush draws. Calling is clearly profitable, while a squeeze gets less fold equity against two players.

Weak hand with no pair and only backdoor draws. Check to see action out of position and avoid committing chips.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker in a 3-way pot against the preflop raiser on a K-high board; checking controls the pot and lets the raiser c-bet, then I can reassess.

Betting top pair for value and protection on this relatively dry flop after both opponents checked.

Q-high with only backdoor draws is too weak to continue against a 400 chip flop bet, so folding preserves chips.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker on a dry K-9-3 board is a fine bluff-catcher against a button c-bet of about half pot, and calling 400 to win 1150 needs only about 26% equity. Raising would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones, so calling is better.

Third pair with an ace kicker works as a bluff-catcher on a paired board. I'm checking to the button to keep the pot controlled and let their bluffs continue.

I have top pair on a paired board and should value-bet against weaker kings and draws while charging them to continue.

Getting about 3.2:1 odds against a modest turn bet. Our pair of threes with an ace kicker beats the button's bluffs and floats, and it has outs to improve against Kx, so calling is profitable.

Our weak two pair (nines and threes, ace kicker) is a bluff-catcher against a button that has barreled twice. Checking lets the button bluff and avoids getting raised by its kings or better.

Check back with one pair and a weak kicker on this paired board; a value bet is likely called mainly by stronger kings, nines, or slow-played hands.
