Hold'em table

2h4h is too weak to continue even on the button against a small blind and big blind; folding avoids playing a dominated low suited hand out of position postflop.

9-2 offsuit is among the weakest hands and out of position versus the big blind; completing would poorly realize its modest equity.

J8 suited on the button in 3-handed play is well within opening range; raising takes initiative and leverages position over the blinds.

Folding 98 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open as it plays poorly out of position.

Closing the preflop action with 7h9h suited for only 150 more into a 400 pot; the hand has good implied odds and calling avoids bloating the pot out of position.

Middle pair on an Ace-high board out of position; checking controls the pot and lets me evaluate the button's action before investing more chips.

In position as preflop raiser with second pair, a small bet protects against clubs and overcards and can get value from 7x and draws while keeping the pot manageable.

I have bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw, and the bet is only 200 into 750, giving me good pot odds to see the turn. Folding seems too tight against a possible continuation bet.

I have a marginal bottom pair on a coordinated A-J-7-K board and the opponent has shown strength; checking controls the pot and lets me see how they proceed.

Third pair with Js on an A-K-J board facing many better Ax, Kx and QT hands; checking controls the pot and avoids paying off better hands while keeping showdown value against draws.

My 7h9h missed everything on this board and only has showdown value as a weak pair of sevens, which loses to any ace, king, or jack. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids getting raised off a marginal hand.

With second pair on an A-K-T-J board, checking river gets a free showdown; betting would fold worse Tens and missed draws while Aces, Kings, and straights call.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

83o is too weak to complete out of position against the big blind, even with the small blind already invested; folding avoids playing a dominated hand postflop.

With pocket tens on the button, I raise for value and to take initiative preflop.

K7 suited is strong enough to defend the small blind against a wide button 3x open, with good playability and pot odds.

Q7o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open and small blind call.

With only board pair and King kicker on a dry paired flop, checking controls the pot against the preflop raiser who may have an overpair or Ace kicker.

I hold an overpair (TT) on a paired low board, which is likely best against a single opponent who checked; betting for value and protection is standard.

King-high on a paired 3-3-2 board facing a 500 bet into 700 out of position has insufficient equity and poor playability on later streets.

Q9o is a solid button open in 3-handed play with position and fold equity. Raising to 2.5bb pressures the blinds better than limping.

AdTd is a very strong holding 3-handed against a button open; 3-betting to 1000 chips extracts value and seizes initiative out of position.

Q2o is far too weak to continue against a button open and a small-blind three-bet, especially with poor playability and domination risk.

Q9 offsuit is dominated by a small-blind 3-bet to 10bb and lacks the equity to call 7.5bb more even in position.

Ad Qd is a premier starting hand on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb builds the pot with an equity and positional advantage.

3-5 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

T4o is too weak to defend the big blind out of position against a button raise, despite the small price.
