Hold'em table

5s3s is a weak hand that needs significant pot odds to continue, and the small blind's 50-chip bet and big blind's 100-chip bet make calling expensive relative to my equity. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Button folded; Q2o from SB vs BB heads-up getting 3:1 is a profitable limp/complete. Raising is marginal with a weak kicker, so complete and play position-less but cheaply.

We are in the big blind with 64s facing an SB completion; checking to see a free flop in position is standard.

I have second pair with a weak kicker on a two-tone board; a small bet protects against flush/straight draws and gets value from worse hands while keeping the pot manageable.

Facing a 65% pot lead on an Ace-Queen high board, bottom pair with a four kicker has very little playability and weak equity to continue.

J2 offsuit is a weak hand even on the button in a 3-handed game; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position postflop against two opponents.

75 offsuit is too weak to play out of position against the big blind after the button folded.

Holding AKs on the button in 3-handed play is a premier hand; opening to 2.5bb for value and position.

Seat 3 raised to 250 with a strong position and initiative. My 5c Jh is too weak to continue against a raise from the button, especially out of position as the small blind.

Q4 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button open; calling 150 into 400 gives decent odds but the hand plays poorly postflop, so folding is the disciplined choice.

4h3c is a weak hand with no pair and poor connectivity, and calling 50 more into a 150 pot with two opponents is a negative EV play. Folding preserves my 10,000 stack for better spots.

Button folded, I'm in the small blind heads-up vs the big blind with Q9 suited, a solid hand in this spot; raising to 3bb takes initiative and is standard.

Holding 96 offsuit against a 3bb open from the small blind is an easy fold due to poor playability and equity.

T9 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear open-raise; it plays well postflop with position and has good equity against blind defenders.

Folding 76 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open as it is too weak to defend out of position.

I have a pocket pair of deuces, which has good potential to hit a set. I'll raise to 400 to build the pot and apply pressure, especially since the big blind has shown strength with their raise.

T9 suited in position facing a tiny 3-bet: calling 150 into 700 gives excellent pot odds with a hand that plays well postflop.

I have a set of twos on a 4-7-4 board, which is a strong but vulnerable hand. Since the opponent checked behind and the pot is only 850, checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff on later streets.

The preflop 3-bettor checked a dry paired board that misses most of their overcard-heavy range; a small stab with position, backdoor flush draw, and two overcards takes down the pot often and keeps the price cheap.

I have a set of 4s on a paired board, which is a strong hand. Calling is appropriate to control pot size and avoid building a large pot with only one opponent remaining.

I have a pocket pair of deuces with a paired board and a possible straight draw; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bluff against a likely strong hand.

Flush draw with nine outs plus fold equity after opponent checked twice following a 3-bet; semi-bluff bet of about 60% pot pressures AK/AQ type hands while keeping a manageable price if called.

I have a set of 4s on a paired board with a possible straight draw, so calling is correct to keep the pot controlled while avoiding overcommitting to a bluff catcher. The opponent's turn raise is large relative to the pot, so folding would be too weak and raising could isolate too much.

The board is paired with a Ten kicker, and my pocket deuces are unlikely to hold up against seat_2's aggressive line. Checking allows me to realize equity cheaply and potentially induce a bluff on the river.

Rivered top pair with T9 but the BB 3-bet preflop and check-called two streets, so their range is heavy with overpairs (JJ-AA) that beat us; worse hands that would call a bet are few, so checking to realize showdown value is best.

Holding AJo on the button 3-handed is a standard open-raise for value and position.

7-4 offsuit is a very weak hand, and facing a raise from the button with only 200 to call is not profitable. Folding preserves my remaining stack for better opportunities.

9-6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button open; folding is the standard play despite getting 2.67:1 odds.
