Hold'em table

Q7 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot is a marginal hand, but calling 100 to win a 150 pot gives good odds and position. A raise with this hand isn't worth the risk.

93 offsuit is too weak to profitably complete from the small blind despite the favorable pot odds. Poor playability out of position and the risk of a big-blind raise favor folding.

With Q4o in the big blind, this is a marginal hand that doesn't warrant aggressive play. Seat 1 called the big blind and seat 2 (small blind) folded. Checking allows me to see the flop in position for free while minimizing risk, since my hand has potential for improvement and the pot is not large enough to justify folding or raising from this position.

I have a pair of fours on a 4h-3c-7c flop, which is a decent holding. With only one opponent remaining (seat_1 called preflop), checking allows me to see the turn card while keeping the pot manageable and gathering information about my opponent's hand strength before committing more chips.

I have top pair (7s) on a dry 4-3-7 board heads-up in position after the big blind checked. A small bet of about 60% pot gets value from worse pairs and draws and denies equity to overcards.}

I have 4d-Qd with a paired board of 4h-3c-7c. My pair of fours is vulnerable, and seat_1's raise suggests a stronger holding. With no flush draw or straight possibilities, folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

Nine-six offsuit is below a sound default button opening range with two opponents still to act. Without evidence that the blinds overfold, folding avoids investing in a weak, poorly connected hand.

With A5s from small blind in a 3-handed game after button folds, raising to 300 (3x BB) puts pressure on the big blind while building a pot with a premium hand. This position and hand strength warrant aggression to win the hand or improve our equity preflop.

K3 offsuit is a marginal hand, but the small blind's 3x open is a wide range, and I get a good price (200 to call into 400) and close the action. Calling is better than folding or bluff-raising.

With A5s on a 3-2-9 flop after raising preflop, checking allows me to control the pot and keep seat_1 in. My hand has potential (ace-high, flush draw) and checking is strong against one opponent, letting me see the turn before committing more chips.

I have a pair of threes, which is the bottom pair, with a king kicker on a 3-2-9 board. Seat 3 checked as the preflop raiser, so I'll take the free card and keep the pot small while holding a marginal showdown-value hand.

I have As5s with a pair of fives on a relatively dry board (3d2h9s5h). Both opponents checked the flop, suggesting weak holdings. Checking allows me to see the river and maintain control while minimizing losses if I'm behind, while keeping my hand disguised.

I have a pair of threes (bottom pair) with a king kicker on a dry, low board. Seat_3 checked twice, which signals weakness, so a small bet of half pot can get worse hands to fold or call, and it also protects against draws like the heart draw.The pot is 600 and this bet is about half of it.

With A5s on a 3-2-9-5 board, I have a weak pair with an ace kicker. Seat 1's check-raise to 300 on the turn suggests strength, likely a made hand. My marginal holding doesn't warrant committing more chips in this spot.

K7o is a weak hand in early position with two players already invested. Folding preserves chips for stronger opportunities.

2-3 offsuit is the weakest type of hand; calling 50 more into a 150 pot would be priced at 3-to-1, but I'd be out of position with a very low equity hand, so I fold.

AJs on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and position.

A suited ace-ten is strong enough to three-bet against a button opening range. Raising to 1200 pressures the big blind to fold and compensates for playing out of position.

With K6o, I'm facing a significant re-raise (1200 total) from seat_2 after seat_1 raised to 300. My hand is weak and dominated by many stronger holdings in the opponent's range. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

AJs on the button has decent equity against a small blind 3-bet range, and calling 900 more to win a 2500 pot (about 26% pot odds) is profitable with position. A 4-bet bluff is unnecessary with this hand.}

A quarter-pot continuation bet leverages my preflop range advantage on this dry, paired board and pressures unpaired hands. My two overcards and backdoor nut-flush draw provide equity when called.

Ace-high with a club backdoor draw and two overcards to the 9-6-6 board; the pot offers about 5:1 (625 to win 3750), so calling is clearly correct. Seat 2's 3-bet preflop and flop bet represent a strong range, but a raise would only fold out worse hands.

The double-paired board gives my ace useful showdown value, while a bet is unlikely to fold out stronger hands. Checking controls the pot and keeps weaker hands in the opponent’s range.

Board 9-6-6-9 is paired, and I hold ace-high with a club backdoor. Seat 2 raised preflop and the flop but checked the turn, so they may be weak or trapping. I'll bet about 40% of the pot to get folds from underpairs and to take the pot, and a check would also be acceptable.

On this double-paired board, ace-high is a reasonable bluff-catcher against missed floats and unpaired broadways. The 40%-pot bet requires only about 22% equity, so calling is preferable to folding or turning the hand into a bluff.

Our ace kicker has showdown value on the double-paired board, but betting is unlikely to get called by worse or fold out strong hands. Checking preserves that value and lets us assess any river bet.

Board 9h 6s 6d 9c 4s gives me two pair with an ace kicker. I beat many of the hands that check, and the opponent's turn check-call then river check looks capped, so I bet for value.

Calling needs about 21% equity, and our ace kicker beats missed broadway floats and counterfeited low pocket pairs. After the small flop bet and turn check, the button can have enough river bluffs to justify bluff-catching at this price.

62 suited is too weak for a standard button open with both blinds still to act. Without evidence that they overfold, folding is preferable to a marginal steal or limp.

Q2o is a weak hand in a 3-way pot where I'm out of position and need to call an additional 50 chips. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

K-J suited is a strong hand in 3-handed poker. Raising to 350 (3.5x big blind) from the button puts pressure on opponents and builds a healthy pot when ahead. This is a standard opening raise with good equity.

6-8 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind, facing a 3.5bb button raise with the big blind still to act behind. Calling 300 more is not profitable, so I fold.

T3 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 3.5bb button raise. Its poor playability and lack of useful blockers make both calling and bluff-raising unattractive.
