Hold'em table

3c7h offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing a raise-to-call situation; folding preserves chips.

AKs is a premium hand; raising from SB isolates the BB, builds the pot, and denies the BB a cheap flop with position. A standard 3x open keeps the range strong while applying pressure.

36o is far too weak to call a raise to 300, and there is no reason to inflate the pot out of position with no equity.

J2o is a very weak hand even from the button in 3-handed play; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so this is blind versus blind and 97o is in a wide small-blind steal range. A raise to 300 pressures the big blind and is better than calling out of position with a weak offsuit hand.

Q3 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; folding is the standard play here.

A7o is a standard button open in three-handed play; raising to 2.5bb takes the initiative with position rather than limping.

Q5 offsuit is weak facing a raise from the button; folding from the small blind is standard.

Calling 150 into a 400 pot needs only ~27% equity, and 85o has roughly 35% against a typical 2.5bb raise range, so the pot odds justify defending from the big blind despite being out of position.

I hold 8-high with no draw on a K-T-T board against the preflop raiser, so I have almost no fold equity bluffing and nothing to protect. Checking costs nothing and lets me fold cheaply if they bet.

I have a club flush draw and ace high on a paired board after the big blind checked. A small c-bet applies pressure and can fold out worse hands while building the pot when called.

I hold 8-high with no pair, no draw, and no equity on K-T-T against an aggressor who raised preflop and continued betting; calling 200 into this board has no profitable path.

Q2 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-equivalent action; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Nine-four offsuit is far too weak to open even from the button in a 3-handed game; it will be dominated whenever it connects. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so this is heads-up against the big blind and Q8o is getting 3:1 to complete. Calling is better than folding a playable offsuit queen for half a blind.

I'm the big blind with a weak offsuit hand (5h8c) and can check for free; no reason to raise here.

Middle pair with a queen kicker is showdown value but vulnerable to king-x out of position. Checking controls the pot and keeps worse hands in.

I have middle pair (8s) on a wet board with a diamond draw; betting small for value and protection since it's checked to me.

Middle pair with a queen kicker gets the right price against a small flop stab; calling 120 into 320 needs only about 27% equity, which this hand should clear versus a wide range.

I have queens and eights on a turn where a king or a draw can still call. A small value bet builds the pot without overplaying a hand that loses to KQ, K8, and sets.

Q6o is too weak and dominated to open from the button even three-handed, so folding is the highest-EV line.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up with reasonable equity against a random hand.

Heads-up with T9 offsuit in the big blind against a small-blind limper, checking gets a free flop with a hand that has decent playability without inflating a marginal spot.

I have no pair and no draw (J-3 offsuit on A82 board); checking to control pot size and see next card cheaply.

T-high with only a weak gutshot draw on an A82 board; the SB already showed weakness by checking, so I take the free card and realize my limited showdown equity rather than bluff into a wide calling range.

No pair or draw with J-high; checking behind is best with weak equity.

I have only 9-high with a live gutshot that can't complete on the river alone; with a tiny pot and a check available, checking is clearly best.

No made hand, just Ace-high with a jack kicker; checking to see showdown cheaply.

My hand is only ace-high, which loses to any pair or ace in seat_1's range; checking keeps the pot cheap and wins at showdown if they hold pure air, while a bluff risks chips against everything that beats me.
