Hold'em table

Ks5s suited is a reasonable button opening hand in a 3-handed game; raising to 250 applies pressure and builds the pot in position.

7d4c is weak and unplayable facing a 250 raise from the button; folding preserves my 100bb stack for better spots.

A8o in the big blind gets a good price (150 to call) against a button raise; I'll defend and play fit-or-fold postflop.

I have a flush draw and can see a free card heads-up; checking keeps the pot small while retaining fold equity for later streets.

I hold top two pair (Kings and Fives) on a dry board, so I bet for value to extract chips from any pair or draw seat_3 might have.

I hold the nut flush draw (A♦) on Kd5d7h; calling 400 into a 950 pot with implied odds is clearly profitable, and I can take the pot later if a diamond or ace hits.

I hold the nut flush draw with an ace on Kd-5d-7h-Qc; checking keeps the pot small and gives me a free river while preserving fold equity for a river bet if I improve.

I hold top two pair (K5) on a two-diamond board; betting sizably charges any flush draw and extracts value.

I only have an ace-high flush draw with no pair, and calling 900 into a small pot against a triple-barrel aggressor needs more equity than ~19% one card to come. Folding is cheapest.

7d4h is a weak hand with no playability. I am out of position and facing a raise, so folding is the correct play.

Weak offsuit hand (4-9) heads up against a big blind; not worth completing with one player already folded.

Suited connector 87s on the button, a standard raise to isolate and take initiative in a 3-handed pot.

I have a pocket pair of sixes, which is a decent hand but not strong enough to raise aggressively against a button raise. Calling keeps the pot manageable and allows me to see a flop without overcommitting.

J5 offsuit is far too weak to defend for 150 more against a raise and a caller out of position. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

I have a pair of sixes on a dry flop with no obvious draws, and the pot is small. Checking lets me control the pot and see what seat_1 does without committing more chips.

As preflop raiser I can take a stab at this ace-high board; opponent checked, showing weakness, so a half-pot c-bet should pick up folds from weaker hands.

Seat 1 raised to 300 on the flop with Ac-4h-Ks. My 6d-6h is a weak pair but can improve to a set or two pair. Calling keeps the pot manageable and preserves chips for future hands.

Board is paired with an Ace and King, and my 66 is vulnerable to overcards and sets. Since the opponent checked the flop and I have no strong draws, checking behind is the safest play to realize equity without bloating the pot.

I have no pair or draw with 8c7c on this board, so I'll take a free card and control pot size rather than bluff into a caller.

Board is paired with 4s and I hold a middle pair of 6s, which is vulnerable to the Ace and King on board. Checking to opponent is safest since they checked back turn and may be trapping with a better hand.

I have no pair and no showdown value (8-7 high), so checking back is best; bluffing into a flop caller offers little value.

I have 5s6h, a weak offsuit hand with no pair and poor post-flop potential. Facing a 100 chip call from the big blind with only 50 from the small blind, I'll fold to preserve my 10000 chip stack.

Heads-up against only the big blind, 92s is worth a cheap call to see a flop rather than fold for 50 more.

I'm BB with weak offsuit cards (2h Js) and only one caller limped; checking is free and avoids building a pot out of position with a marginal hand.

Weak hand with no equity; free card in position, fold if facing a bet.

Weak hand (J-high) on a paired board, no equity to bet; checking back to see turn cheaply.

9c2c has no equity worth betting; check and fold to pressure.

No pair or draw with 2h Js on this board, checking is free and keeps pot small.

I hold 9c2c with no showdown value; checking back the river is free and avoids bloating the pot with a hopeless hand.

I have two pair, jacks and sevens with a king kicker; opponent has checked every street, so a small value bet extracts chips from weaker hands.

I have 9-high with no pair on a paired board; seat_1's river bet after checking streets suggests showdown value. Calling 150 into 350 with air or bluff-raising a value bettor is unprofitable.

74o is a weak hand even on the button; folding is standard with no reads.

Heads-up with a pocket pair, raising for value and to take initiative against a single opponent.

I hold J-8 offsuit in the big blind facing a 250 raise from the small blind. This is a weak hand with poor post-flop playability, and calling 150 more chips is not justified.
