Hold'em table

Holding 3c 6s, a weak offsuit hand with little potential; folding preflop is optimal.

Defend the small blind with K-high against the big blind's forced option; the price is minimal and this hand retains playable equity heads-up.

I have a very weak offsuit hand and can see the flop for free from the big blind, so checking is best.

I have a gutshot to the nine plus two overcards in a heads-up limped pot. A modest continuation bet can fold out unpaired hands while retaining equity when called.

I have 2c5h, no pair and no draw on a coordinated 8h Td 7c board. Facing a raise from the small blind, I have no reason to continue.

T9 suited is a strong, playable button hand in a three-handed game. Raising applies pressure and builds a pot with position.

3h4d is a very weak hand, especially out of position in the small blind. Calling 250 more with poor equity and the big blind still to act is -EV, and raising as a bluff is too risky.

K4s is too weak to defend a 3bb raise out of position; folding is the profitable play.

In position on the button with a suited connector, I open-raise to put pressure on the blinds and try to steal the pot preflop.

T3o is far too weak against a 2x raise from the button with a player still behind; folding is clearly best.

9-4 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, even at this small size.

J7 suited is a solid heads-up small-blind opening hand. Raising applies pressure and builds initiative against the big blind.

J2s is a weak hand, especially out of position against a small blind raise. Folding is the optimal play to preserve chips.

KQo is a strong button opening hand three-handed and should raise for value and initiative.

JTo has enough equity to defend from the small blind against a button open; calling 200 into 400 offers decent pot odds, though position is bad.

2c5s is the worst hand in a raised pot facing 150 more; folding is clearly best.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a dry board. I will check to the preflop raiser to control the pot and see how they proceed.

Betting in position applies pressure on this dry board while retaining equity with two overcards and a backdoor diamond draw.

With top pair and a backdoor straight draw, calling the small continuation bet in position is standard. Folding is too weak given the pot odds, and raising risks folding out worse hands while getting called or re-raised by better ones.

I've turned two pair with JT on a T82J board. Betting for value and to charge possible straight draws like Q9.

I have a strong combo draw: any diamond completes a king-high flush, while aces and nines can complete a straight. Calling preserves favorable equity without inflating the pot against a turn lead.

We have a full house (tens full of jacks), the nuts on this board. Betting for value to extract chips from trips, straights, or two pair.

With only king-high on a paired board, I beat only bluffs. The large river bet after a turn call is too value-heavy to justify a call.
