Hold'em table

Seven-three offsuit is far too weak to call even a min-continue or open-raise on the button with no reads; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Holding KQs in the small blind after the button folded, raising to 3bb is a standard value open against the big blind.

JTo has enough equity and playability versus a small-blind open, and calling 200 into 400 is the right price. No need to inflate the pot out of position with an offsuit broadway.

C-betting one-third pot on a dry paired board where we hold range advantage and solid backdoor equity with two overcards.

I have jacks and fives on a dry board, so I raise the small flop bet for value while keeping weaker jacks and draws in.

I whiffed the flop with King-high and face a raise out of position on a dry paired board, making a fold the cleanest play.

J7s is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play.

A5o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a dominated ace and a poor multiway spot.

54o is too weak to 3-bet, but calling only 100 into a 350 pot against a likely wide 3-handed button min-raise is a cheap price with decent playability.

I hold 5-high with no pair and no real draw on a Q-A-J board, so I have almost no showdown value. Checking is free; I'll only continue if the preflop raiser shows weakness.

I hold third pair on a very wet Broadway board where checking back controls the pot and realizes our showdown equity.

I have 43 high with showdown value only via a bluff, but check-keeping pot control is fine; villain checked back flop so we can take a free river and give up if pressured.

We have third pair on a coordinated broadway board; checking behind takes a free card and keeps the pot manageable.

I only have bottom pair (4s) on a scary board; checking to realize equity cheaply and fold to any bet.

I have third pair on a coordinated board with weak showdown value. Betting will not get called by worse hands, so checking behind to see showdown is the best line.

Pocket eights are ahead of a random button open range, so I raise to 3x for value and initiative rather than flat-calling.

T6 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3x button raise out of position with the big blind still behind me; folding preserves chips for better spots.

32o is the worst hand in hold'em and an easy fold against a button raise.

43s is a standard wide button open in 3-handed play; a small raise pressures the blinds and I retain position if called.

A2o plays poorly out of position facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind us, making fold the standard play.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, hard-to-play hand.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

34o is too weak to continue out of position for another half-blind after the button folds; folding avoids a dominated, low-playability spot.

Ten-deuce offsuit is too weak to call or open even on the button in three-handed play, so folding avoids a negative-EV spot.

Q4s heads-up in the small blind is playable; completing cheaply keeps position pressure with minimal risk.

With a pocket pair in position after the small blind limped, raising isolates and builds the pot with a range advantage.

Q4o is far too weak to call a 3x raise out of position after limping; the BB's raise range dominates me and I have no plan that profits. Folding saves 200 chips.
