Hold'em table

JTo is strong enough to open from the button in a 3-handed game, and raising puts pressure on the blinds. I'll make a standard raise to 300 to take the pot down or play in position.

84s is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act and poor postflop playability. Folding avoids unnecessary risk with a marginal speculative hand.

With only Ts6d and facing a 300 raise from the button, the pot odds don't justify continuing; I'll fold to preserve my stack.

A9o on the button in a 3-handed game is strong enough to raise for value and take initiative; a 3x open pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

I hold 2h 9h, a weak offsuit hand that is unlikely to win against a preflop raise. Calling 250 to see a flop with this hand offers poor pot odds and high risk, so folding is the most prudent play.

K8o has enough equity and pot odds to defend the big blind against a button open, and calling keeps the pot manageable while out of position.

I have only King-high with no real draw against a preflop raiser on this ace-high board. Checking lets me see the turn for free while avoiding unnecessary risk.

I flopped top pair with a decent kicker as the preflop aggressor and last to act; betting for value and protection is standard here.

I have only king-high with no real draw on an ace-queen board, and the opponent showed strength preflop and on the flop. Folding saves chips for a better spot.

I have Th4d, a weak offsuit hand with no playability. Facing a 100 chip raise from the BB with only 100 to call, I'm getting terrible pot odds and there's no value in continuing preflop.

QTs is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind, putting pressure on their random hand and either winning the dead money or building a pot while I have position on the flop.

I'm getting 3:1 to call with position, and J5o has enough equity against a likely small-blind steal to defend profitably. Folding would give up the big blind too easily.

Top pair with a decent kicker is strong enough to bet for value and protection against the club draw and straight draws; a half-pot c-bet seems appropriate.

I have J-high with no pair or draw on an ace-high flop, and seat_1's flop bet likely represents at least an ace. Folding avoids investing more chips with very little equity.

I have pocket jacks in a heads-up pot after the button folded, so raising for value is best. A 3x raise charges the big blind and builds the pot with a strong starting hand.

Seat 1 folded, so it's heads-up. I have a suited connector with backdoor potential and a cheap price to call. I'll take the flop in position rather than fold.

I have JJ, an overpair to this 9-T-9 board, and it's very vulnerable to flush and straight draws, so I bet for value and protection while charging drawing hands.

I have a pair of nines with a ten kicker on a 9-T-T flop, which is a strong hand here. Calling keeps the pot manageable and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand against an aggressive opponent.

Board is paired with 9s and I hold a weak J-T high, so I want to see a cheap river without risking more chips. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate my hand against seat_2's aggression.

The board is 9c Ts 9s 7h 9d, giving me a Jack-high with a Ten kicker. My opponent checked back the turn, so checking the river is the safest play to avoid bluffing into a better hand while still hoping to chop or win if they are weak.

K9o on the button in a 3-handed pot is worth an open-raise to apply pressure on the blinds and take initiative with position.

7h3h is a weak hand that relies on hitting a flush or straight, which is unlikely. Facing a button raise to 250 with only 200 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with such a speculative hand.

Calling 150 to see a flop with a suited hand offers good pot odds, and I can play postflop with position relative to the raiser.

I have an open-ended straight draw but no made hand on a very coordinated board, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply.

I have middle pair with a gutshot and position; betting flop for value/protection and to deny equity to overcards and draws.

I have ThJd on the BTN with only 150 in the pot and a 100 call. This is a weak speculative hand that needs significant equity or implied odds to continue, and I'd rather preserve my stack for better spots.

A9s is strong enough to raise for value against the big blind's random hand, and a raise can win the pot immediately or take control of the hand.

Getting 3:1 with a suited hand and closing the action, so I call despite the weak holding.

Semi-bluff with the nut flush draw and an overcard, applying pressure while still having strong equity if called.

Facing a bet on a paired board with only 5-high and a weak backdoor straight, not enough equity to call 300 into 700.
