Hold'em table

Weak offsuit hand out of position with a call still required; better to fold and wait for a stronger spot.

Small pocket pair, cheap call in position to try to flop a set; no need to raise and inflate the pot.

75o is too weak to complete from the small blind out of position against a limp, so folding the extra half-blind is the higher-EV play.

Q4s is too weak to build a pot out of position against the button limper; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free flop with a suited queen.

I hold bottom pair (fours) with a Q kicker on a K-T-4 board against the preflop caller; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it with a marginal hand out of position.

My pocket twos have no equity on this King-high board, so I check back and control the pot rather than bluff into an unknown range.

I only have bottom pair with a Q-high kicker on a coordinated board; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it out of position against the only other player.

Bottom pair-less pocket deuces on a King-high board with no draw; no reason to bet into a hand that's checked twice.

I only hold a pair of fours on a board full of draws that got there; checking is free and I can fold to any river bet rather than invest more.

My pocket 2s have little value on this board; no reason to bet into a check-around, just showing down cheaply.

Three-handed on the button, T8o is a reasonable steal open with position; a small raise pressures the blinds without overcommitting.

95s is far too weak to call a 2.5x button raise out of position with two players behind; folding and saving 200 chips is clearly best.

K6 offsuit facing a raise with a fold already in front, not worth calling 150 more with a weak kicker hand.

Queen-three offsuit is far too weak to play even from the button in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

With the button folded it's effectively heads-up; a modest raise with J8o applies pressure and builds the pot cheaply while keeping the SB's fold equity in play.

J4o is too weak to continue out of position against a small-blind raise after the button folded, so folding saves the extra 150.

Ace-ten offsuit on the button is a solid raising hand; a standard raise applies pressure on the blinds.

K8o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, difficult postflop spot.

65 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 2.5x button raise out of position; folding avoids playing a marginal hand with poor postflop playability.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button; it is dominated often and plays poorly, so folding is the highest-EV line.

QTo is a strong heads-up hand after the button folds; a min-raise builds the pot with position while keeping risk low.

Cheap call heads-up with a suited hand and decent pot odds; not worth folding for just 100 more chips.

As preflop aggressor on A-K-7 I fire a small continuation bet for fold equity; my Q-high with a gutshot can also improve, and a small sizing keeps risk low if called.
