Hold'em table

AQo on the button is strong; I'll raise for value and position against the blinds.

K3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3bb button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a frequently dominated hand out of position.

Seat 1 raised to 300 and seat 2 folded, leaving me in position. With Jh Kd I have a decent hand but not a clear value raise, so I'll call 200 to see a flop and keep the pot manageable.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw with Jh Kd on a 5s 9h 8s board. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially realize my equity without paying a big bet, especially since the opponent raised preflop and I'm out of position.

Heads-up with top pair plus ace kicker over an overcard-heavy board; betting for value and protection is clearly best.

I have a backdoor flush draw and gutshot with Jd-Kd on a 5s-9h-8s board, so calling the 350 flop raise is reasonable to keep the pot live without overcommitting. I'll call and reassess on the turn.

I have a backdoor flush draw with Jh Kd on a 5s 9h 8s Ac board, but no made hand. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river cheaply while preserving the option to bluff or call if the opponent shows weakness.

I hold top two pair (A + Q) on the Ac turn; seat_3's check suggests weakness, so I bet for value and to build the pot.

Seat 1's turn raise to 700 is small relative to the pot and their remaining stack, suggesting a bluff or thin value; my Kd-high hand has showdown value and can call profitably. Folding would be too weak given the pot odds.

My hand is weak on this board and the opponent has shown consistent aggression; checking lets me realize equity cheaply and avoid bloating the pot with a likely losing hand.

I hold two pair (aces and fives) and villain has check-called twice, likely with a worse ace or pair. A value bet on the river can get called by worse; checking is too passive.

Seat 1 has shown consistent aggression with an Ace-high board, and my Jh-Kd does not improve on the river. The pot odds do not justify calling a large river raise with a weak hand.

Five-deuce suited is near the bottom of the button range, with weak high-card value and limited straight potential. Without evidence that the blinds overfold, folding avoids a marginal open.

9c6s is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position, and I'd rather preserve my stack than call 50 more with such marginal equity.

8s9h is a weak hand to play from the button against a 150 pot, so I'm folding to preserve my stack.

A7o on the button in 3-handed play is strong enough to raise for position and fold equity.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably against a 3bb button raise from the small blind, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a marginal hand out of position.

I have a pocket pair and can isolate the raiser with a decent price. A 3x raise builds the pot and tests their range.

A7o is dominated by most 3-bet ranges and I'd be calling 300 more into a small pot with no position edge. Folding is clearly best.

A4 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures both blinds while preserving positional advantage if called.

I have Ks9h on the button with a raise to 250 from the button and only 200 to call; the pot odds and reverse implied odds don't justify continuing with this weak king-high.

Seven-deuce offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

8d2d is a weak hand with no immediate value, and I'm out of position on the button facing a 100bb pot-sized raise; folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Q5s heads-up against only the BB is worth a cheap call from the SB; folding gives up equity for just 50 more chips.

J3 suited is a weak hand that benefits from seeing a free flop in position against the small blind. Checking avoids building a pot with poor high-card strength.

Queen-high with no draw strength on a coordinated board; heads-up I can check and reassess cheaply rather than bluff into the big blind.

Top pair is strong enough for a modest value-and-protection bet against a wide small-blind limping range. Worse pairs and draws can call, while the weak kicker favors keeping the pot manageable.

Queen-high with no pair on a J-9-7 board facing a flop bet; only a slim gutshot-ish draw at best, so folding is clearly best.
