Hold'em table

Calling 100 to see a flop with a king-high hand in position is cheap and gives good pot odds, especially in a 3-handed game.

I hold K-3 offsuit, a weak hand that is not strong enough to call a raise from the small blind. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Q7o is a marginal big-blind hand against a button limp; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop without committing more chips out of position.

I have Qs7h with no pair on a 4c Ts 2c flop, only a backdoor straight draw. With one opponent remaining and no bet to call, checking is the safest play to control pot size and see a free turn.

With Q-high and no real draw on a dry board, checking controls the pot and avoids spewing chips into an unknown button limping range.

2c 6h is a very weak hand with no playability. Facing a 100bb big blind and only 100 to call, folding is the correct play to preserve chips.

Q3o is too weak to continue in a 3-handed pot, and folding avoids a marginal postflop spot with a dominated offsuit hand.

Good pot odds with a suited hand; calling to see a flop is cheap and we have some potential.

Seat 3 folded, so I'm in the big blind with a checked pot. J9s is marginal for a raise, so I'll take a free card and see the flop before committing more chips.

Betting for value and protection with top pair on a wet monotone board, while keeping the pot manageable and folding to significant resistance.

I have middle pair on a wet board with backdoor flush and straight draws, so calling keeps my bluff equity and allows me to realize equity cheaply.

The board is a strong club flush draw with top pair on the turn, and my Js gives me the flush if a club comes. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see a free river card without risking chips against a possible scare card.

Board is a strong club flush; my Js9h makes the nut flush. Checking back keeps the pot controlled and avoids scaring out a bluff or value bet from seat_1.

AQ offsuit is a strong hand from the button. I raise to 3 big blinds to build the pot and apply pressure on the blinds.

I have top pair with the Ace kicker (AhKh) and the opponent raised to 300. Calling is a solid play to see a flop without overcommitting, as my hand is strong but not strong enough to three-bet for value here.

Closing the preflop action with a suited queen and getting over 3:1 pot odds, so calling is reasonable despite the weak kicker.

I have a strong top pair with the Ace kicker on a dry board, but the pot is unopened on the flop so checking is the most efficient way to control the pot and keep the opponent's range wide. I'll take a free card and reassess on the turn.

I have a flush draw but no made hand, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity cheaply out of position against the preflop raiser.

I have two overcards and position; a continuation bet can take down the pot if opponents missed the flop.

I have a strong draw with a flush draw and straight draw on a dry board. Calling keeps my bluff equity and allows me to realize my equity without overcommitting on the flop.

I have a flush draw and am closing the action with good pot odds; calling 500 to see the turn.

I have a strong top pair with a flush draw on a paired board, and checking lets me control the pot size while keeping the option to induce bluffs or take a free card on the river.

I have a flush draw but no made hand, and the flop raiser is still to act behind me. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river cheaply.

The board is paired with a flush draw, and my top pair is vulnerable. Since the action is checked to me, checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have a Q-high flush on a paired board; betting for value against trips and worse flushes.

My AQ is unimproved Ace-high on a paired, diamond-heavy board. Facing a river bet into two players after I checked the turn, I don't beat enough bluffs to call.

Seat 3's river raise to 1200 with a strong board (9d 9s Jd) likely represents a strong hand like a full house or trips. My Kh Ah has no made hand and poor redraw potential, so folding avoids losing more chips.

9d Kc is a weak offsuit hand with no clear preflop play against a raise, and calling 100 into a 150 pot offers poor immediate odds and weak implied odds. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

23o is the worst starting hand and I am out of position against the big blind; folding avoids investing more with poor playability.

T3o is too weak to call or raise from the button in a 3-handed pot; folding avoids unnecessary risk with no chips invested.

Heads-up with a suited connector, calling 50 to see a flop is cheap and offers good pot odds. I have enough equity against a random big blind hand to continue.

I am in the big blind with 2d As and can check since no one raised. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop with a speculative hand.

I have no made hand or meaningful draw on this coordinated board, so I take the free card and keep the pot small.

The board is Qd Kd Tc, giving me a backdoor straight draw with As2d but no current pair. Seat 3 folded, and seat 1 checked, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into a potential strong hand.

I have no made hand and no draw on a very coordinated board, so betting would only risk chips against a likely strong range. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

Checked the turn to keep the pot small with a weak Ace-high hand and no clear draw, hoping to see a cheap river. I have one street message left, so I'll stay silent here.

I have little showdown value, and a small river bluff can take down this pot if the opponent was checking with weak hands. The board shows scary straight and flush possibilities, making a fold likely.

Calling the 100 chip river bet is the best play with Ace-high; I have no pair or draw and the board is coordinated, so folding would be too weak and raising would be a bluff with little equity.
