Hold'em table

2h6c offsuit is a weak hand not worth entering the pot from the button against two live players.

AKs in position heads-up is a premium; I raise for value and fold equity. A standard 3x from SB pressures the BB.

Deuce-five offsuit is one of the weakest hands, and facing a raise to 300 from the small blind with 200 to call, folding avoids a losing investment.

T4 offsuit is a weak hand out of position postflop; folding to a limped/raised pot is standard.

Calling the 50-chip completion with 3h5h gives a cheap look at the flop heads-up against the big blind, with good pot odds for a suited low hand.

I'm in the big blind with 6d7c, no raise to face, so I check and see the flop for free against one limper.

I have a weak pair of fives with a 3 kicker on a King-high board, and the action checked to me, so checking keeps the pot small and sees a free card.

I have an open-ended straight draw (6-7 with board K-8-5 gives 5-6-7-8, needing a 4 or 9) and want to build the pot while applying pressure after both opponents checked.

I hold a pair of fives with a backdoor flush draw, which is medium strength, and the 30% pot-odds price makes calling better than folding without the strength to raise.

I have a pair of fives with a weak kicker on a four-card board, and checking is free and keeps the pot small. Raising would mostly risk chips against a player who has shown aggression on the flop.

I hold an open-ended straight draw with 6-7 against the 5-8 on board, giving me good equity; a half-pot bet applies pressure while building the pot for when I complete my hand.

A pair of fives on a K-Q-8-5 board is weak against a player who has bet the flop and turn, so calling 250 to win a 750 pot is not worth the risk.

Jack-four offsuit on the button is a marginal hand, but completing the small price to see a flop in a 3-handed pot is reasonable.

K5 offsuit from SB is marginal; limping along cheaply to see a flop is reasonable with a limper already in.

King-high with weak kicker in the big blind; free flop is fine with three players seeing it cheaply.

King-high with no pair on a paired board; checking to control pot size and see a free card.

I have a king-high on a paired low board with no action shown; a small stab takes the dead pot often. If called, I can reassess cheaply.

I hold 4d with the board 4h 4c, so I have a set of fours, a very strong hand. Raising builds the pot for value against a player betting into a paired board.

King-high with a weak kicker on a paired board facing a raise and reraise is way too weak to continue; folding avoids further chip loss.

I only hold K-high against a flop raise; with seat_1 folded and no draws, calling 400 more is throwing chips away.

3-8 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise to 100; folding preserves chips for better spots.

4h2s is the worst head-up spot; completing from the small blind against the big blind has poor equity and invites costlier postflop decisions.

8c3c offsuit is very weak from the button facing a limped pot; folding preserves chips with no fold equity worth pursuing.

Completing the 50-chip small blind to see a flop is a cheap call in a three-handed pot, and 6-J offsuit has enough playability to justify it.

I'm BB with 5-7 offsuit, no raise to face, checking to see a free flop heads-up.

Pair of jacks with a weak kicker on an ace-high board is a medium-strength hand, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it against a range that may hold aces or better.

I have no pair and no draw here (57 offsuit on A-J-2 with two diamonds), so checking back is best to avoid building a pot with a weak hand while keeping the option to see a free card.

I have a pair of jacks on a board with an ace, which is a medium-strength hand, and checking keeps the pot small while controlling risk.

I have no pair and only a gutshot-ish low draw at best; checking keeps pot small and controls risk with weak holding.

I have J-high with no made pair on a paired-free board, and seat_1 has shown weakness by checking twice, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into a hand that can still beat me.

I have two pair (sevens and fives) on a dry-ish board after passive action from seat_3; betting extracts value from weaker hands like a lone ace or a worse pair.

Holding a pair of jacks on a paired-free board, I can call the 150 river bet with a reasonable price against a bet that could be a bluff from a seat that checked twice.

Ten-two offsuit is a weak hand and facing a 100-chip call from the blind with no reason to continue, so folding avoids a marginal, negative-expectation investment.
