Hold'em table

72 offsuit is too weak to call or raise from the button for a full big blind; folding preserves the stack.

A5 offsuit is strong heads-up from the small blind, so I raise for value and initiative rather than simply completing.

84s is too weak to defend against a 3x open from the small blind.

3-4 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind; folding avoids investing more with poor equity and playability.

King-Queen offsuit is well ahead of an average blind defense range, making a standard raise to 3bb optimal blind versus blind.

T6s is speculative but playable in position heads-up, and calling 200 into a 400 pot is cheap enough to see a flop.

C-betting one-third pot on an Ace-high monotone board holding the king-high flush draw blocker.

Ten-high with no pair and no draw on an ace-high, two-diamond flop is not worth calling a bet heads-up.

T6o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. 68s is worth a small raise to take the initiative rather than completing out of position.

KTo is strong enough to defend against a blind-versus-blind raise, and the pot odds make calling preferable to folding. I’ll avoid inflating the pot out of position.

I have a non-nut club flush draw and no pair on an ace-queen board, out of position. Checking lets me see the turn for free rather than building a pot with a weak draw.

I have only a gutshot straight draw and no club draw. Checking takes the free card and avoids bluffing into the preflop raiser’s range.

I have no pair and only three clubs, so the river cannot complete a flush. With almost no equity on a paired ace-queen board, checking is better than bluffing into the preflop caller.

I have a gutshot to Broadway and the checked-through flop followed by another check gives me a chance to take the pot with a small turn bet. I can still improve if called.

I have a nut-club draw with about 20% equity against a small turn bet, so the price is close to even and implied odds justify a call rather than folding or bloating the pot.

I have no pair and a missed club draw on a paired queen board, so there is no value in betting. Checking is free and keeps the pot small against the turn aggressor.

With only king-high on a paired board, a river bluff is unlikely to fold the pair-heavy hands that called the turn. I’ll take the free showdown rather than risk more chips.

Pocket kings are a premium hand, so I open-raise to 3bb from the button to build the pot and take control preflop.

8♣6♦ is a weak offsuit hand, and calling a 3x button raise from the small blind would leave me out of position with the big blind still to act.

86o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3bb open from the button.

T-3 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind; folding avoids investing chips with poor equity.

A8o is ahead of BB's defending range blind vs blind; raising to 3bb for value and initiative.

94 suited is too weak to continue against a 3x open heads-up; folding avoids paying 200 with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Q4o is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up with A8o in the small blind. A raise to 3bb is better than a weak complete and applies pressure to the big blind.

A3 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind open, but calling controls the pot with a weak, easily dominated ace.

I have middle pair with an ace kicker out of position on a king-high board, so pot control is better than betting into the preflop caller. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me react to their action.

Ace-high has some showdown value after the preflop raiser checked. I’ll take a free card rather than bluff into a board that favors their range.

I have a pair of eights plus the nut flush draw on a checked flop, so a two-thirds-pot turn bet gets value from worse pairs and draws while charging hands that are behind.

The turn completes the heart flush draw, and ace-high with only a thin straight possibility is not strong enough to continue against this bet. I’ll preserve my stack rather than pay for a likely losing showdown.
