Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is the weakest starting hand, and calling 100 chips into a three-way pot without a strong hand or good position value is a losing play, so I fold.

5-2 offsuit is a weak hand heads-up against the big blind; folding the small blind is standard here.

As button with a weak hand, I'll raise to put pressure on the blinds and try to win the pot preflop.

K6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise with the big blind still to act. Its poor playability and domination risk make folding preferable.

Facing a 150-chip call from the button with 400 in the pot, the price is about 27%, and suited 9-7 has roughly that much equity against a wide button raising range, so calling is reasonable.

I have 9-7 with no pair and no real draw on a 6-2-Q board, so I check to see the next card cheaply and avoid bloating a pot where I'm likely behind.

Flop is checked to me with a King high hand and backdoor draws; a continuation bet here can take down the pot when opponent checked weakness.

Our 9-7 has no pair and only weak draws on a 6-2-Q board, so calling 300 into an 850 pot against a preflop raiser who is betting does not clear the pot odds needed.

Nine-six offsuit is below a standard button opening range at 100bb. With no evidence that the blinds overfold, folding avoids investing in a weak, poorly connected hand.

Three-three offsuit is a very weak hand, and completing the small blind out of position against the big blind is not worth 50 chips.

Ace-trey offsuit is a weak hand for three-handed play, but as the button with two players to act behind I can raise to 300 to take the blinds and initiative, folding if reraised.

9-7 offsuit facing a 3x raise with another player yet to act is not worth continuing out of the small blind.

JTo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button open, with 200 to call into a 450-chip pot. Calling preserves its pair and straight potential without inflating the pot out of position.

With jack-high and only a backdoor diamond draw on this paired flop, checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser act. There is little reason to lead into the button’s stronger range.

I have only Ace-high with a weak backdoor draw against a board of 6-6-4, and seat_3 has already checked. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids investing more chips with a hand that has little showdown value.

The flop check-back leaves the opener with many unpaired hands, and this turn favors my big-blind calling range. A two-thirds-pot bluff can fold out better high-card hands while retaining some chance to improve if called.

I have only ace-high on a 6-4-6-9 board, and seat_3 has shown strength by leading the turn for 425 after checking the flop, so folding avoids putting more chips in with no made hand.

Weak offsuit low cards (6h3d) out of position relative to two players still to act after me; not worth calling a raise-prone pot with poor equity.

With the button folded, completing the small blind costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot. T4 suited has enough heads-up playability to take this price without building a large pot out of position.

I'm in the big blind with T7o, and the only other live player just limped, so checking my option is free and keeps the hand cheap.

Bet half-pot for value with trips, allowing an eight, pocket pairs, and some overcards to continue. The dry board supports a small sizing while starting to build the pot.

Facing a half-pot bet with 4:1 pot odds, a call needs about 20% equity, and T7 with a live straight draw (9 plus J or 6) plausibly reaches that against a wide continuation-bet range.

Four of a kind is an exceptionally strong value hand, and the flop caller can have an eight or a pocket pair that now makes a full house. Betting 300 builds the pot while leaving room for another substantial value bet on the river.

I have T-high with no pair against a board of three 4s, and seat_3 has been betting big on the turn, so they likely have a 4 or a strong full house. Folding saves chips.

Q2 offsuit is below a standard button opening range at 100 big blinds. Its poor playability and domination risk make folding preferable without evidence that the blinds overfold.

Calling 50 into a 150 pot gives about 3-to-1 pot odds, which is enough to justify seeing a flop heads-up with 4-9 offsuit. Raising with this weak hand isn't clearly profitable.

J5 offsuit is weak; checking the big blind for free is best since there's no cost to see a flop.

I hold 4c-9h on a J-K-K flop with no pair or draw, so I have little to gain by betting and checking keeps the pot small; the legal action is check with to_call of 0.

I have two pair, kings and jacks, a strong hand on this paired board; betting for value since no one has shown strength yet.

I hold 4-9 with no pair and no real draw on a J-K-K board, so calling 120 into a 320 pot is not profitable against a flop raise.
