Hold'em table

7-3o (seven-three offsuit) is the worst starting hand in poker with no fold equity against two opponents. Folding minimizes expected losses when holding this weak hand in early position facing a big blind bet.

With KJ suited heads-up from the small blind, I raise for value and initiative rather than complete.

Closing the action with Q9o against a small blind raise, getting 3:1 pot odds. The hand has enough equity versus a wide steal range to call and see a flop, while avoiding bloating the pot out of position with a marginal holding.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a coordinated board and should bet for value and protection against draws and weaker pairs.

I have a gutshot straight draw and two overcards, and I'm getting 3:1 pot odds with position. Calling keeps the pot manageable and lets me evaluate the turn.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a wet board and should extract value while charging spade and straight draws. A two-thirds-pot turn bet also gains value from weaker jacks and pairs.

Q9 offsuit has only a weak gutshot and overcards against a preflop raiser who has barreled flop and turn. The 800 call into 2000 offers insufficient equity given the likelihood my outs are dirty, so folding is best.

7-2 suited is too weak to profitably open against two blinds at this stack depth.

With 73o out of position in the small blind after the button folded, folding avoids investing more chips with a weak hand that plays poorly postflop.

J2o is too weak to play from the button as the first preflop actor, and calling or raising risks chips with a dominated hand.

5s3s is a weak hand with poor equity against a big blind raise. Folding from the small blind is reasonable given the poor holding and that I'm already down 50 chips in the pot.

Jack-eight offsuit is a weak hand that is easily dominated. From the button facing a big blind bet, folding preserves chips for stronger hands rather than calling with marginal holdings.

QTo is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind holding and benefits from taking the initiative. I raise to apply pressure to the big blind's wide range.

4-7 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a small blind raise; folding avoids further investment with poor equity.

KTo is a suitable button opening hand in three-handed play, leveraging position and initiative.

I have a weak offsuit 7-4 in the small blind facing a button raise. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a hand that plays poorly out of position.

King-six offsuit is a weak hand in a 3-handed game. Facing a 2.5x raise from the button after already committing the big blind, folding preserves chips against uncertain equity. The risk-reward doesn't justify calling with such a marginal holding.

75o is too weak to open from the button against two blind defenders without reads; folding avoids unnecessary risk.

3c-Jc is a weak hand in this spot. As small blind facing a big blind who hasn't folded and needing to invest 50 more chips with poor hand strength, folding is the mathematically sound decision with only 2 players remaining.
