Hold'em table

3d 7h is a weak offsuit hand with little potential; folding preflop avoids investing chips into a dominated situation.

Button folded, so I am heads-up with the big blind holding KQs. A raise to 3bb builds the pot with a strong suited broadway and denies a free flop.

Jack-seven suited is a reasonable open from the button in three-handed play, so I raise to 3bb to take the initiative rather than limp.

5h 4c is a weak hand with no playability; calling 200 into a 300 raise from the button is a -EV decision with no blockers or implied odds.

Pocket 88 on the button, raise to build the pot and take initiative against blinds.

Calling 250 with 6s Td is reasonable against a min-raise from the button; I'll see a flop and play position.

32 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise and a small-blind call, even with a cheap price. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

I have a backdoor straight draw with 6sTd on Ad-Js-2h, but no made hand. Since it's checked to me and the pot is only 700, checking keeps the hand cheap and allows me to see if the turn improves my hand without committing more chips.

Villain checked the flop, so a half-pot continuation bet can take it down or extract value from weaker hands while keeping risk low with my medium pair.

Calling the 350 flop bet with 6s-Td on Ad-Js-2h keeps me in the hand at low cost while the board is still relatively dry; I can evaluate the turn before committing more chips.

The board is dry and I have a backdoor flush draw with no made hand, so I want to see the river cheaply and avoid building a big pot out of position.

My 88 has no real value against a range that called a flop bet, and there's no clear bluff equity here, so I check to control pot size and see a free river.

Board is coordinated with two hearts and a straight draw; my Td6s has backdoor equity but no made hand, so I check to control risk and pot size on the river.

With unpaired 88 on a board where I only beat a total bluff, betting risks getting called or raised by better; checking back controls the pot and I can still win at a cheap showdown given the passive action.

Calling the big blind with 4d3d in position is reasonable; I want to see a flop and play the hand postflop rather than fold or overcommit preflop.

A2o is weak to raise out of position, but completing for 50 into 250 is a cheap price to see a flop with an ace.

Q7o is weak; with no raise needed I just check my big blind option and see a cheap flop.

Top pair with a deuce kicker is too thin to lead multiway out of position on this dry board. Checking controls the pot and lets me reassess on the turn.

I have Q-high with no pair or draw on a King-high flop; checking is free and avoids building a pot with a weak hand.

The board is Kd-3c-As with no flush or straight draws yet, and I hold 4d-3d which is a weak pair with a backdoor flush draw. Both opponents checked to me, so checking back keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Top pair with a deuce kicker is too thin to bet multiway on a two-club turn; checking controls the pot and avoids a tough raise.

No pair, just Q-high with a backdoor draw; checking to see the river cheaply.

Board is dry and disconnected; my 3-4 double suited is a weak draw with backdoor potential. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have aces and fours in a limped pot after three streets of checks, so a small river bet can get value from kings and weaker pairs without bloating the pot against trips or full houses.

My Q-high with no pair on a board with paired 4s and an ace has no showdown value against a river bet after multiple checks.

I have a pair of fours on the river, which is a decent hand but likely behind seat_2's raise. Calling 200 to see a showdown is reasonable given the pot odds and my remaining stack.

76o is a standard button open in three-handed play, and raising is better than limping. A 2.5bb open keeps the price reasonable while taking the initiative.

3-4 offsuit is weak and out of position facing a raise; folding is cheap here.

My 5d 9h is weak and unsuited, and facing a 250 raise with only 150 to call, I'm getting poor odds to continue. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

2s Th offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing action; folding is fine since no equity edge to defend here.

Calling the 50 chip to see a flop with Qd4c is reasonable given the low cost and the chance to hit a queen or a straight draw. Folding would be too cautious for such a small investment.

Pocket sevens are ahead of a limp heads-up, so I raise to 400 to build the pot and deny equity rather than give a free flop.

Calling with Qd4c in position against a 400 raise is reasonable; I want to see the flop and potentially realize equity without overcommitting out of position.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot with Qd on 5c-7c-2d, but no made hand yet. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn without risking more chips on a marginal holding.

I have a set of sevens on a two-club board, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge flush draws after the check.

Seat 2's flop raise to 550 is large relative to the pot and my weak 4c-Qd holding on a 5c-7c-2d board. I have no flush draw and limited backdoor equity, so folding minimizes losses.
