Hold'em table

With 7s5d on the button and no callers yet, I'm folding to avoid playing a weak hand out of position against the blinds.

Button folded, so I am heads-up against the big blind with AKs. Raising to 3bb builds the pot with a premium hand and denies a free flop.

7-3 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; not worth calling from the big blind.

T8s is playable on the button in three-handed, so I open to 2.5bb to take the initiative and fold out weak hands.

A3 offsuit out of position facing a raise with another player yet to act is too weak to continue profitably.

My hand 4h 6d is weak and unsuited, and I am out of position facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack against a likely stronger range.

Jd7s offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing a raise; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Calling 50 with 7h8s is a reasonable speculative play to see a flop and potentially hit a straight or flush, especially since the big blind is the only opponent left.

35 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free after the small blind limps.

I have a gutshot straight draw with 7h 8s on 8d 2h 4h, giving me a pair of 8s plus backdoor potential. Checking keeps the pot small and allows me to see a free turn card while preserving my stack.

I have an eight-out straight draw (Ace or six) but no made hand, and with position a free card realizes that equity without bloating a small pot.

I have an open-ended straight draw with 7h 8s on a 8d 2h 4h Qd board, but the pot is small and both opponents checked. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see the river cheaply while preserving the chance to complete the straight or bluff later.

3-5 has only a gutshot and no showdown value on this queen-high board, so checking to see the river for free is best.

The board is paired with a 2, and my 7-8 is a weak hand that likely loses to any hand containing a 2 or a queen. Checking is the safest play to avoid building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

I have only queen-eight-five-four-two, so a bet mostly gets called by hands that beat me and folds out hands I already beat. Checking is the highest-EV line.

7h9d is a weak hand with no pair and poor suitedness, and I'm out of position in the blinds facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

72o is the worst hand and has no equity or playability out of position against the big blind, so completing or raising is a clear loss.

KQs is a strong suited broadway on the button, so I open to 2.5bb to build the pot and take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

I have Q6o, a weak hand that is unlikely to win against a raise from the button. Folding minimizes losses in this marginal spot.

Suited king from the button is a solid raising hand to build the pot and apply pressure on both blinds.

5h7d is a weak disconnected hand that plays poorly out of position. Seat 3 opened to 250 and I only have 50 invested; calling 200 more is a bad price with no playability.

J6o is too weak to continue against a button open; calling 150 into 400 is unprofitable and a reraise has little fold equity with a hand that plays poorly.
