Hold'em table

Calling 100 with a suited one-gap in position offers good playability and acceptable pot odds against the blinds. We keep the pot small and can use position postflop.

Calling the 50 chip big blind completes the small blind with a low-cost continuation. 6d8h is a speculative hand that can play well post-flop if the board is favorable, and preserving stack depth is better than raising with a weak holding.

I have a weak offsuit 2-5 in the big blind and can see a free flop after both opponents just called. Raising would risk chips with a poor hand, so checking is best.

I have a weak 6-8 with a 7-J-8 board; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a mediocre hand. I'll see a free card and reassess on the turn.

I have a weak hand with no pair and little equity on this coordinated flop, and there is no reason to build a pot out of position against two opponents. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes my equity for free.

Top two pair is strong but vulnerable to straight and flush draws, so I bet to extract value and charge draws.

I hold 6d8h on a 7d Jc 8c flop, giving me only a weak gutshot to a 9. Facing a 250 raise into a 550 pot from the button, the pot odds and implied odds do not justify calling with this thin draw and no pair.

I have 2h5c on a 7dJc8c flop with no pair, no draw, and only two overcards that are weak; facing a 250 bet into 300, folding is clearly best.

I hold 2s3d, a very weak hand, and face a 100 chip call. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

KTo is a strong heads-up hand against a random big blind, so I raise for value and to take initiative rather than limp out of position.

K9s is a playable hand and I'm getting good pot odds to call the small raise, so I'll see a flop in position relative to the raiser.

I raised preflop and the flop is dry; a half-pot continuation bet can fold out unpaired hands and take down the pot. My K-high has overcards and backdoor equity if called.

Suited connector on the button has good playability and raising applies pressure on the blinds while taking initiative.

QTs is a playable suited hand and I am getting reasonable pot odds to see a flop in position relative to the raiser, though I am out of position against the button. Calling keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it with a marginal hand.

My hand is J2o, which is dominated by the preflop raiser. The pot odds do not justify calling with such a weak hand, so folding is the correct play.

I missed this flop with only overcards and a backdoor flush draw, so I take the free card rather than build a pot against a preflop raiser's likely strong range.

I raised preflop and the flop is dry; a continuation bet can fold out overcards and weaker hands, while my gutshot and backdoor flush give me backup equity. Checking would surrender initiative and likely force me to fold to a turn bet.

I hold a weak offsuit hand (Tc-3h) and face a raise to 100 with only 50 to call. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong range.

I hold Tc4c, a weak offsuit hand with no playability. The pot is 150 and I only need to call 100, but my equity is too low to justify calling 100 big blinds effectively, so folding is the correct play.

K2o is too weak to play from the button in a 3-handed game, especially as first to act. Folding avoids risking chips with a dominated hand.
