Hold'em table

Q5o is a weak offsuit hand, and calling 100 from the button against two live opponents has poor equity and playability. Folding early avoids a marginal spot and preserves chips.

Ks5h is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position, and I'm facing a raise from the big blind. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

5c 9s is a weak offsuit hand with no synergy to the blinds' positions. Folding preflop avoids investing chips into a pot where I have no edge.

2h6d is a very weak hand out of position, and calling 50 more just to see a flop has poor expected value against the big blind. I'll cut my loss and preserve chips.

On the button with a playable hand, I raise to steal the blinds and take initiative preflop.

Getting 3:1 with J9o against a wide button open in a 3-handed game, so calling is reasonable despite being out of position.

6d Qh is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position, and facing a raise plus a call with only 150 to call, folding minimizes losses with no strong equity.

I have middle pair with a weak kicker on an ace-king-high flop and am out of position against the preflop raiser, so checking to control the pot is best.

I have a weak pair on an A-K-high board and the opponent's check could be a trap. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize my showdown value cheaply.

Hero has two pair (Kings and Nines) but the board is paired and the preflop raiser's range contains many Ax/Kx hands that beat or dominate us. Checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised off a marginal showdown hand.

On the button in a 3-handed game, Q7o is weak but worth a small open to pressure the blinds and take the initiative with position. A 3x raise limits risk while giving me a chance to win the pot preflop or play a controlled pot postflop.

I hold 6c3h, a weak offsuit hand with no playability. Seat 1 opened to 300, and with only 250 to call, folding is the correct play to avoid putting money in with a significant equity disadvantage.

7-5 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, and the pot odds do not compensate for its poor playability.

4d 6s is a weak hand with no pair and poor connectivity, and calling 100 to play a speculative hand out of position against two opponents is not profitable. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

7-3 suited is too weak to continue against a raise, even with position. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

J9o has enough equity against the big blind's wide range, and calling 50 closes the preflop action cheaply while avoiding bloating the pot out of position.

I am in the big blind with KdAh and no one has raised; checking keeps my option to lead a bluff or trap later streets open while avoiding unnecessary risk with a weak preflop hand.

I flopped top pair with a decent kicker in a heads-up pot; betting for value and to charge spade draws.

I have a backdoor flush draw and overcard with KdAh on Js6h2s. The opponent raised to 200 from the small blind, and calling keeps my stack intact while I can realize equity on later streets.

I have middle pair on a board with an overcard and flush draw; checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised by Qx or better while still having showdown value.

Board is dry and I have a weak King-high with backdoor flush potential; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand on the turn.

I have a marginal made hand with second pair and no strong value target; checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised by a better queen or rivered straight.

Board is paired and dry; my Kd high is likely best but vulnerable to a bluff. Checking preserves my stack and lets me control the pot on a showdown.
