Hold'em table

K6o is strong enough to open from the button against the blinds, and a raise puts pressure on both opponents while taking initiative.

K3o is a weak offsuit hand that is dominated by most button opening ranges and plays poorly out of position. Folding avoids investing more chips with a marginal holding.

Calling a 200bb-sized raise with Q7o is too thin; I'll fold to preserve my stack and wait for better spots.

I have a backdoor flush draw and gutshot with top pair possible, but no made hand yet. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me control the flop with position.

The big blind checked to me on a fairly dry flop. I'll continuation-bet around half pot to take it down now with my King-high and some fold equity.

Calling the 400 bet keeps me in the hand with a backdoor flush draw and gutshot; I can control the pot on later streets and avoid building a big pot with a weak pair.

Board is paired and dry with no flush draws; my Q7 is weak and likely behind. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

I have only King-high with no draws, and the opponent called both preflop and flop, so I'm likely behind. Checking keeps the pot small and gives me a chance to improve on the river for free.

Board is paired with a possible full house for seat_1; checking avoids bloating the pot with a weak hand and lets me see a cheap showdown.

I have only king high with no pair or draw, and the opponent called my flop raise, so they likely have something. Checking avoids risking more chips and gives me a chance to win if they also missed.

2c6h is the weakest starting hand; folding avoids investing chips with very little equity in a 3-handed pot.

7-4 offsuit is a weak hand, and I'm out of position as the small blind facing a big blind who hasn't folded. Folding saves chips for better spots.

Qc3s is a weak offsuit hand with no synergy; facing a 100bb raise from the BB with only 100bb effective, folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Heads-up, I'm raising to take the pot now or apply pressure; J6s has playable equity if called.

Closing the action with 150 to call into 350, J9o has enough equity against a small blind raise; I'll take a flop in position.

Monotone club flop makes my top pair vulnerable, especially with no club draw. I check to keep the pot small out of position and reevaluate on the turn.

I flopped two pair on a monotone board and should bet for value and protection against flush draws and Jx hands. Checking would let too many clubs and overcards see a free turn.

AQ is a strong hand, and I have position. Raising builds the pot and puts pressure on the blinds.

AKs is a premium three-handed hand, and I want to apply pressure and build the pot rather than just call from the small blind.

Calling 800 to see a flop with Qd4d in position is reasonable; the pot offers good odds and I want to keep the opponent's range wide. Raising to 1500 is also possible but I prefer to control the pot size with a suited connector.

I have two overcards and a backdoor nut flush draw on a low board; a continuation bet can fold out seat_3's weaker preflop calls and take down the pot.

I have a backdoor flush draw with Qd and a gutshot straight draw, giving me decent equity. Calling keeps my stack intact while I see if the board improves my hand.

I have no pair and the board is paired; checking controls the pot and avoids risking chips with only overcards that may not be clean outs.

The board is paired with two diamonds and I hold Qd4d, giving me a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot to a straight, but no made hand. Checking keeps the pot small and allows me to realize equity cheaply against a likely strong hand from seat_2.

With ace-high and no showdown value against any pair, betting would only fold out worse hands and get called by better. Opponent's passive line suggests they may check behind with missed draws or worse ace-high, so checking preserves the chance to win at showdown.

Board is paired with a diamond flush draw possible; my Qd gives a weak queen high with backdoor flush potential, so I want to see a showdown cheaply. Seat 2 checked twice on turn and river, indicating weakness, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bluff catcher.

K9o on the button is strong enough to raise and take initiative with position in a 3-handed pot.

I hold 2c 3d, a very weak hand that is unlikely to improve enough to justify calling a raise. Folding preserves my stack against a strong button range.

4c7o is too weak to continue out of position against a raise. Folding preserves chips and avoids a marginal postflop spot.

I have a weak offsuit hand (T3o) on the button with no information about opponents' ranges. The pot odds don't justify calling 100 to see a flop with this hand.

Completing the small blind with a suited connector is cheap and gives good pot odds against the big blind. Folding would give up a profitable opportunity in a three-handed pot.

A2o has decent equity against the small blind's limping range, and a min-raise applies pressure to win the pot uncontested or keep the pot small if called.

We have a weak hand (5s8s) and are facing a raise from the big blind. We are out of position and the pot odds are not compelling enough to call with such a marginal hand. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.
