Hold'em table

Nine-six offsuit is too weak for a default button open against two opponents at 100bb depth. Without evidence that the blinds overfold, folding is preferable to raising or limping.

The button has folded, and calling 50 more gives a cheap chance to see a flop heads-up against the big blind. Raising with 7-3 offsuit is unnecessary.

I'm BB with a weak offsuit hand (7d3d); no reason to raise, just check and see a cheap flop since there's no bet to call.

I have only 7-high with a backdoor flush possibility and no meaningful draw, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the big blind.

I have 7-3 offsuit with no pair, no draw on a 5-8-Q board; checking back is cheapest option to see a free card.

I have no made hand or meaningful draw, so checking keeps the pot small without risking chips.

I hold a diamond flush draw (4 diamonds on board plus my two diamond hole cards need one more), and with both opponents checking twice, a semi-bluff bet can win the pot now or build equity for my draw.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this board, so calling the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable.

K6 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure to the blinds and takes initiative.

6-8 offsuit facing a raise from the button with a call behind is weak; folding is cheap and avoids a tough multiway spot out of position.

Calling costs 150 to contest a 550-chip pot, requiring about 27% realized equity. J2 suited is a reasonable big-blind defense against a button opening range at this price, especially with no rake.

J-high has no meaningful draw on this ace-high flop, which favors the preflop raiser. Check rather than invest chips in a low-equity bluff out of position.

With only king-high and no heart, this flop gives me little equity to continue aggressively. Checking back preserves my showdown value and avoids inflating the pot.

J-high has little showdown value, but no heart blocker or meaningful draw makes this a poor turn bluff candidate. Check and avoid investing further without a stronger reason to expect folds.

I have a weak pair on a three-heart board and little value or protection to gain by betting. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves showdown value.

Jack-high has almost no showdown value, and the opponent's two checks suggest a weak range. A roughly two-thirds-pot bluff can fold out higher unpaired hands and some marginal pairs.

The river bet is modest relative to the pot, and after two checked streets the opponent can have enough missed or weak hands for my sixes with a king kicker to bluff-catch profitably.

J4 offsuit on the button facing a raise-less limp pot isn't strong enough to invest, especially with two players left to act behind.

With the button folded, completing costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot. K2 offsuit is worth a cheap blind-versus-blind flop, but its weak kicker favors keeping the pot small out of position.

Q5 suited is playable, but with the small blind limping and no raise to face, checking keeps the pot small out of position.

K-high has little equity and no meaningful draw on this connected flop. Checking out of position avoids investing in a low-quality bluff and preserves the chance of a free turn.

With only queen-high and a backdoor flush draw, checking takes the free card while preserving showdown value against missed hands. A bluff is unlikely to fold many of the small blind’s pairs on this connected board.

Top pair is likely ahead after the flop checked through. Betting extracts value from weaker pairs and draws while denying free equity to overcards and straight draws.

I have a flush draw with nine likely outs and am getting a small price; deep stacks offer some implied value if a spade arrives. Calling is preferable to turning the draw into a costly raise.

A small river bet seeks thin value from 8x, 6x, and other bluff-catchers that called the turn. This sizing limits exposure against better kings or trip tens, and I can fold to a substantial raise.

Q-high has no meaningful showdown value on this paired board, and the opponent has bet both turn and river. Calling 150 is unlikely to beat enough of their range.

T9 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, with position and connected-card potential. Raising to 2.5 big blinds can win the blinds immediately while keeping the investment modest.

A♠Q♠ is a premium hand from the small blind against a button open. I’m 3-betting for value and to apply pressure before the big blind acts.

9-2 offsuit facing a raise and a big re-raise is a trash hand; folding is clear.

T9 offsuit is too weak to profitably defend against this small-blind three-bet, even with position. Its limited equity realization and lack of useful blockers make folding preferable to calling or four-betting.

King-ten suited is a strong button hand in a three-handed game. Raise to 3 big blinds for value and to take the initiative.

Weak offsuit hand (T4) facing a 3bb raise from the button; not worth continuing from the small blind.

J6 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a 3bb button raise. Its poor playability and domination risk make folding preferable out of position.

A3 suited on the button is a decent raising hand; standard open to 3bb to build pot and leverage position.

K7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act. Poor position and domination risk make folding preferable to calling or bluff-raising.

J3 suited is marginal, but the button's raise is wide enough and the pot odds justify defending the big blind. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

I have no pair and only backdoor straight and flush potential, so checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser act.

I hold top pair (Ace) on a dry-ish board; betting for value and protection against draws.

J-high has no meaningful made hand or immediate draw on this ace-high flop, and calling the sizable continuation bet would rely on thin overcard equity.
