Hold'em table

K3 offsuit is a weak hand, and I'm out of position with two opponents. Folding preflop saves chips against likely stronger ranges.

Button folded, so I only need 50 more into a 150 pot with J5o. That price is good enough to complete heads-up rather than give up the blind.

J6 offsuit is weak; with no cost to see a flop from the big blind, check is best.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker and no draw is not strong enough to bet out of position into a wide big-blind range. Checking controls the pot and realizes equity cheaply.

I only have bottom pair with a weak kicker; no reason to bloat the pot out of position equity, better to see a free card.

I have sixes and fives on a paired, three-spade board, which is showdown value but too vulnerable to bet out of position into a check-calling range that often has me beat. Checking controls the pot and avoids a tough spot if raised.

I hold trip sixes (6h/6s on board plus 6c in hand) which is a very strong holding on a three-spade board; betting builds the pot and charges any flush draws while both opponents have shown weakness by checking twice.

I have two pair, sixes and fives, and only need to call 200 into a 400 pot. That price is too good to fold a hand that beats all one-pair holdings, while a raise mostly gets called by trips or tens.

I have two pair, sixes and fives, with showdown value on a paired board, but the turn bettor's range includes many better hands. Checking controls the pot and avoids value-owning myself.

I have trip sixes with a jack kicker, a strong hand on this paired board; betting for value against a hand that called a turn raise.

I have sixes and fives, a bluff-catcher that loses to trips, better two pair, overpairs, and flushes. A two-thirds-pot river bet after the turn barrel is not worth calling at these odds.

J2o is too weak to open from the button even three-handed; folding avoids putting chips in with a hand that has poor equity and poor postflop playability.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up with a suited connector-ish hand; no need to bloat the pot with weak holdings.

I'm in the big blind with 5h2h and can check since no one raised. Checking keeps my options open and lets me see a flop cheaply with this speculative hand.

I have no pair and only a gutshot draw with 4-3, so I check for free to see the turn.

Board is dry and I have a weak hand, so I want to see a free turn card and control the pot.

I have no pair and only a weak draw (4d3d) on a Th6s7c6h board; checking keeps the pot small and I have no showdown value to bet.

I have a weak gutshot straight draw with 5h2h on a paired board. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to bluff later if the river misses.

River with no pair (4-3 high) on a board with two pair possibilities for opponent; no value in betting and checking avoids risking chips against a likely made hand.

I have a weak 8-high with no pair, so I want to see a showdown cheaply. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids putting more chips in with a losing hand.

Cheap price to see a flop in position with a connected hand; not strong enough to raise.

I have a pocket pair of nines which is playable but not strong enough to raise preflop. Calling keeps the pot manageable and allows me to see a flop cheaply.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to raise into two limpers, and checking is free as the big blind. I take the flop and reassess.

I have a pocket pair of nines and the board is 4h-Jd-Ts, so I want to keep the pot small and see if I hit a set on the turn. Checking is free and preserves my stack while maintaining pot control.

Queen-high with a straight draw is not strong enough to bet into two opponents out of position, so I take the free card and reassess on the turn.

Both opponents checked flop showing weakness; I have no pair but decent backdoor potential, so a small bet on the button can pick up the pot.

I have a pocket pair of nines and the flop contains a ten and jack, giving me a straight draw. I'll raise to 350 to build the pot and apply pressure, as the button's stab suggests weakness.

Queen-high with no pair or draw on J-T-4, facing a flop bet and reraise. No reason to continue.

I have no pair or draw (6-7 high on a J-T-4 board) and seat_1 check-raised my bluff bet, indicating strength; folding is correct here.

I have Ks-Jc, a decent hand with a flush draw possibility. The pot is 150 and I only need to call 100 more. It's a reasonable price to see a flop with this hand.

ATo is ahead of a button limp and plays well as an isolation raise from the small blind, building the pot and taking the initiative before the big blind acts.

Q5o is weak facing a raise and call with two players to act behind; not worth defending here.

Jc Ks is marginal and out of position; facing a 300 chip call with only one opponent left, folding preserves chips for better spots.

Ten-deuce offsuit is far too weak to open from the button, so folding is the highest-EV play.

K2 offsuit on the button facing a raise-limped pot is weak; folding is fine since I'm not getting great odds to see a flop out of position on later streets with this hand.

6h-As is a weak offsuit hand with no playability. The small blind already has me committed 50, but calling 50 more with this hand against a big blind is a negative expected value play, so folding is the correct decision.
