Hold'em table

I have Ace-high with a backdoor flush draw. A small raise builds the pot with good equity and puts pressure on the blinds.

A9o is playable versus a button 3x open in three-handed poker, and calling 250 into 450 is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position with a dominated ace.

6-5 offsuit is weak and facing a raise plus call, folding is best to avoid investing more chips out of position with a poor hand.

Ace-high with no pair or draw on a paired flop is too weak to donk into the preflop raiser out of position, so I take the free card.

Board is paired with 5s; my Ad is vulnerable to overcards and I have no pair. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

Ace-high has some showdown value on a paired board after the preflop raiser checked the flop, so checking is better than turning it into a bluff.

Board is paired with a 5 and a Ten, and my hand is Ace-high with a backdoor flush draw. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak hand on a dangerous turn card.

Ace-high has thin showdown value against missed hands after the preflop raiser checked flop and turn, and a river bet mostly gets called by pairs that beat me.

The board is paired with a 5 and a 4, and my Ace-high with a 3c kicker is unlikely to be best. Checking to see a showdown is the safest play here.

3To is too weak to open first-in from the button in this three-handed spot; it plays poorly postflop and is a clear fold.

A7s is strong heads-up against just the big blind; raising to build pot and apply pressure.

Seat 3 raised to 300 with a claimed suited ace; my 4s8s is too weak to continue against a raise and a likely strong hand, so folding preserves chips.

QQ is a premium hand on the button; raise for value and to build the pot against two loose blinds.

I have 4s2s, a weak hand that needs significant implied odds to justify continuing. The button raised to 350 and I only have 300 to call, so the pot odds don't justify a call with this speculative hand.

84 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise after the small blind folds. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

9s5c is a weak hand out of position with two players behind who have already invested money; folding avoids losing chips on a low-equity spot.

Ten-six offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind; folding avoids putting more chips in with a hand that realizes poorly.

96o is too weak to open even on the button in three-handed play; folding avoids investing chips with a hand that has poor high-card value and plays badly multiway.

Weak offsuit low cards (6h3s) with only one opponent left to act; not worth completing the small blind for a marginal hand out of position.

Pocket sixes on the button; raise to build pot and take initiative against two limpers, isolating for value with a decent hand.

I hold 2d 9h, a weak offsuit hand that is not strong enough to call a 250 chip raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong holding.

J5o is too weak to defend the big blind against a button open, especially out of position. Folding avoids paying 200 more with a dominated, disconnected hand.
