Hold'em table

98o on the button in a 3-handed game with 100bb is a standard open-raise; it plays well postflop in position and benefits from fold equity against the blinds.

Nine-jack offsuit is a weak hand facing a button raise and needing about 33% equity to call 200 into a 400 pot with the big blind still to act, so folding is the disciplined choice.

T5s is too weak to defend the big blind against a 2.5x raise from the button, especially out of position. Folding preserves my stack for more profitable spots.

Pocket fives are a playable pair in a 3-handed pot, so I raise for value and to isolate against the blinds rather than just calling.

7s Qc is a weak offsuit hand with poor postflop playability out of position in the small blind.

AQs in the big blind facing a button open is a clear 3-bet for value; raising to ~3.3x the open puts pressure on the button's wide range while keeping a strong hand that plays well if called.

Pocket fives are a small favorite against a typical 3-bet range, and calling 700 into a 1350 pot gives roughly the 34% equity needed, so I'll see a flop rather than fold.

3-bet pot OOP with range advantage on a dry low rainbow board; a small ~1/3 pot c-bet with AQ overcards denies equity and folds out hands like KJ/JT while keeping it cheap if called.

Calling 700 into a 2750 pot needs about 20% equity, and pocket fives with 4-5-6 on board plus straight outs is close to that against this range. Folding would give up a reasonable price.

Ace-high with no draw on a 4-6-9-7 board that heavily connects with the button's 3-bet-calling and flop-calling range (pairs, 88, T8, 58); a second barrel has little fold equity, so check and give up or realize showdown value cheaply.

I hold a pair of fives on a 4-6-7-9 board, which is a modest made hand, and seat_1 has checked the turn, so I'll take the free card rather than bloat the pot.

Ace-high has little showdown value on this board; opponent's turn check-back caps their range, so a sizable river bet representing an overpair or straight should fold out missed draws and weak pairs often enough to be profitable.

A pair of fives is weak on this board, and the villain's multi-street aggression with a large river bet likely beats it, so calling 2200 needs more equity than I have.

Fold weak 65o even from button to avoid losing chips with a marginal hand.

Button folded; SB vs BB with 4c2c suited. Blind-vs-blind, a small raise to 3bb with a suited hand that plays okay postflop is reasonable and takes initiative; folding is also fine but raising applies pressure heads-up.

I'm getting about 2-to-1 on a 200-chip call into a 400-chip pot, and 5-T suited is a playable hand against a small blind's wide steal-raise in a 3-handed pot. I'll call rather than fold or re-raise with this weak holding.

Monotone flop with no spade and no real draw for us, but as preflop raiser a small one-third pot c-bet folds out many non-spade hands cheaply; give up if called or raised.

I hold a made spade flush (T-high) on a three-spade board, which is very strong against a single flop bet, so I raise for value.

4c2c on a monotone spade board with no spade and no pair; facing a check-raise, I have almost no equity and no good bluffing prospects, so folding is clearly correct.

QJo on the button in a 3-handed game, first to act with 100bb deep; a standard open raise to 2.5bb is clearly +EV against the blinds.

Holding 2c5h, a weak offsuit hand facing a 250 open from the button with 200 to call, folding is the disciplined play out of the small blind.

A3 suited has enough equity and postflop playability to defend the big blind against a button open, and calling 150 into 400 offers good pot odds without inflating the pot out of position.

We flopped bottom pair with Ace kicker on a coordinated board. We are first to act and want to see what the preflop aggressor does, so checking is the standard play to keep the pot small.

Button raise, BB called and checked on Th 3c 4c. I have QJ with backdoor straight/flush draws and overcards; a small c-bet around half pot takes it down often against a capped range and builds equity when called.

Ace-trey offsuit on the button is a profitable steal against two blinds, so I'm raising to 250 to take the pot or play for a favorable postflop spot.

98o has decent implied odds against a button open. Calling is standard from the small blind to see a flop with a speculative hand.

2c6d offsuit is a very weak hand; even with decent pot odds against a raise and a call, it plays poorly out of position postflop and is a clear fold.

I have an open-ended straight draw on a paired board. Checking allows me to see a cheap turn and potentially realize my equity without inflating the pot out of position.

Seat_3 checked the flop to me, and I hold A-high with no pair on a 5-5-6 board; a small continuation bet of 300 can win the pot immediately from the checking seat and is a reasonable bluff with the ace-high backdoor equity.

I have 9-high with only a gutshot straight draw on a paired board, facing a 300 bet into 900. My pot odds are insufficient, my outs may not be clean, and I'm out of position, so folding is the best play.

With 4d6s, a very weak hand even with position, folding is the standard play to avoid risking chips on a hand that rarely hits the flop well.

Button folded, I'm SB vs BB heads-up with A4o, a clear raise in blind-vs-blind; raise to 3bb to take initiative rather than limp.

King-jack suited is strong enough to continue heads-up against the small blind's raise, and calling 200 more is a reasonable price to see a flop.

Gutshot plus overcard on a dry low board heads-up out of position as preflop raiser; a c-bet of ~2/3 pot pressures the BB's many missed hands and we have equity when called.

I have King-high with no pair against a heads-up preflop raiser who bet 400 into a 1000 pot, and calling 400 needs about 29% equity, which the King's overcard value and the opponent's wide continuation range roughly justify.

Ace-high with a gutshot on a paired board out of position; a barrel folds out little better than our hand here, so checking to realize equity cheaply is preferable.

I have only King-high with no pair on a 3-5-7-7 board, and seat_1 checked the turn, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

Ace-high missed the gutshot and has little showdown value; villain's turn check-back caps their range while the 9s completes flush and straight draws, so a ~65% pot bluff should fold out weak pairs and overcards often enough.

I hold only King-high with no pair on a paired 3-5-7-7-9 board, so I beat only bluffs against a large river bet that likely represents a made hand.
