Hold'em table

2-3 offsuit is one of the weakest holdings in poker. With a 100-chip call needed against two opponents in a 3-player game, folding this trash hand maximizes long-term value by avoiding a poor situation.

KTo is strong enough in a blind battle after the button folds; raising to 300 applies pressure and charges the big blind's wide range while keeping the pot manageable.

Jh8h is a playable suited hand heads-up versus a small blind 3x open, with favorable pot odds and positional advantage postflop.

I flopped top two pair and want to build the pot while charging draws. Checking would risk giving a free card to straight draws like QJ or AJ.

With only a gutshot and weak backdoor flush potential, calling this large flop continuation bet is not justified. Folding preserves chips against the preflop raiser’s likely strong range.

KTs is a strong suited broadway hand on the button in a 3-handed game, so I raise to take initiative and put pressure on the blinds.

9c4c is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x open, especially out of position in a three-handed pot.

7-5o is a weak hand in a 3-player game, especially facing a 3x raise from the button. With 200 chips to call and poor equity, folding is the mathematically sound decision to preserve chips.

A suited? Actually Ad4h is a weak offsuit ace but has positional advantage on the button; a small raise can isolate and leverage position.

2h-Ks is a weak hand (king-deuce off-suit) against a 2.5x raise from the button. With only modest equity and poor playability, folding preserves chips in an unfavorable spot.

J5o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise; folding preserves chips.

Ace-eight offsuit is a decent hand with significant equity against a range of opening hands. Raising to 3x the big blind from the button builds the pot while remaining positionally advantaged for later streets and avoids playing a marginal hand out of position.

73s is too weak to continue against a 3x button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated low suited hand out of position.

9-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button 3x open from the big blind.

T5o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability; folding avoids investing chips with a dominated holding despite being on the button.

9-8 offsuit is a playable heads-up small blind hand after the button folds. Raising applies pressure and retains initiative.

3c-Ad is a weak holding (low pair potential with ace kicker). Against a raise from the small blind after folding around, folding preserves chips and avoids a marginal situation out of position postflop.

Q6 suited has reasonable button equity three-handed and can profitably steal the blinds. A small open keeps the risk controlled.

4-5 offsuit is a weak hand unsuited for a 2.5x raise from the button. Folding avoids committing chips with poor hand equity in an unfavorable position.

87s has good playability and I am closing the action getting 150 into 400, so calling is profitable against a likely wide button raise.

I have only a gutshot straight draw and backdoor flush draw on a board that strongly favors the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and allows me to see a free turn.

I have top pair on a coordinated board and should bet for value and protection against the many straight draws.

I have only a gutshot with 8-high on a coordinated board, and the pot odds do not justify a call against a preflop raiser's flop bet.
