Hold'em table

K5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even three-handed, and limping would be worse. Folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand out of position postflop.

Ace-six offsuit on the button plays well as a cheap steal; a min-raise pressures the blinds and builds position.

Holding KJo in the small blind against a button open in three-handed play, three-betting allows us to leverage blockers, isolate the raiser, and avoid playing out of position multiway.

85 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a button raise and a small-blind 3-bet. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unplayable hand.

A6s is dominated facing a 4x open and a 3-bet; calling 750 more out of position with a weak ace is a clear fold.

Ten-six offsuit is too weak to open from the button, making an easy fold.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Q9o is playable enough to raise for initiative rather than flat the extra 50.

9s6s offsuit is weak against a 3x raise; calling 200 to see a flop with a marginal hand loses EV. Fold and preserve chips.

Button open with connected 67o in three-handed; a small raise steals the blinds and realizes equity better than calling or folding.

A2o is far too weak to continue out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act; I'm dominated by stronger aces and the hand has poor playability.

Defending big blind with Q9o against a standard button open getting attractive pot odds of 2.67 to 1.

I missed this paired flop entirely with queen-high and should check to the preflop raiser out of position.

I have only a gutshot on a paired board and no made hand, so I check back to realize equity cheaply rather than inflate the pot.

Turned top pair after flop checked through. Betting around half pot for value against pocket pairs and draws while protecting our equity.

67 offsuit has no pair, no draw, and almost no equity against a turn bet on a paired board. Calling 300 into 850 is a clear fold.

Queen-8 offsuit from UTG three-handed is a weak hand with two players behind; folding is the clear EV-maximizing play.

Completing from the small blind with connected cards like 98o gets good pot odds to see a flop.

26 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free with the option already closed by the small blind's limp.

We completely missed this flop with nine-high and no direct draw; checking to see a free turn is standard.

I have complete air on Q34 with no pair or draw, and the small blind already checked. Checking back avoids putting more chips in with no equity.

Holding nine-high with no draw in a limped blind-vs-blind pot, checking is the lowest-variance play.

2-6 has no pair, draw, or showdown value on a paired queen board, and seat_3 checked, so checking is free and best.

With nine-high and zero showdown value, betting 150 into a 200-chip pot on a board with three hearts applies pressure to villain's weak check-down range.

I have 2-6 high with no pair or draw on a paired queen board, so I lose to virtually any made hand. Calling 150 into 350 is not justified by my showdown value.

K5s is a standard open from the button in three-handed play to apply pressure and leverage positional advantage.

T6s is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated suited hand out of position.

7s3s is a very weak hand facing a 2.5x raise from the button with the small blind already folded. Calling 150 more out of position with no hand worth playing just burns chips.
