Hold'em table

With 7h8h in a heads-up SB vs BB pot after the button folded, I raise to take initiative and put pressure on the big blind; the hand has good playability and can fold to a 3-bet.

Seat 1 folded, seat 2 raised to 300. I have Td8c in the BB and need to call 200 more. The pot offers 2:1 odds, and calling keeps my stack intact while letting me see a flop with a suited connector.

Semi-bluff with an open-ended straight draw on a dry flop; a half-pot bet can take it down and builds the pot when called.

I have a Ten-high flush draw on a dry board with a backdoor straight possibility. Calling 300 into a 900 pot keeps my stack intact and lets me realize equity without overcommitting with a marginal hand.

I have an open-ended straight draw but no made hand, so checking controls the pot and lets me realize equity or call a reasonable bet with implied odds.

Board is paired King with a Ten kicker; my Td gives me a pair of Tens with a backdoor flush draw. Checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand against a likely strong range.

I have a ten-high straight on the river. Betting for value; many worse hands like Kx or two pair can call.

I have a Ten-high straight on a coordinated board with two flush cards, so calling the river raise is profitable. Seat 2 is representing a strong hand, but my straight beats most bluffs and value calls here.

J7o on the button in a 3-handed game; raising to apply pressure and take initiative with position. If called, I have a playable hand with position; if 3-bet, I can easily fold.

I hold Ks4s in the small blind facing a raise to 300 from the button. This is a weak speculative hand with no pair and poor post-flop playability, so folding is the correct decision.

Kings are very strong here, so I raise for value and to put pressure on the button's opening raise.

J7o is too weak to continue against the big blind's 3-bet, even with position. Folding avoids putting in another 300 chips with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Calling 100 with Qd4s on the button is reasonable; I can see a flop cheaply and avoid risking too much with a weak hand.

82o is far too weak out of position against a limper, and completing invites a possible raise from the big blind. Folding saves chips while accepting the small loss of the forced blind.

Button limped preflop, and KQo is strong enough to raise for value and isolate the limper. I'll make it 400 to charge worse hands and take initiative.

With 4s Qd on the button, I'm facing a 300 raise over my 100 call. This is a weak hand that doesn't play well postflop, and folding preserves my stack for better spots.

T7s is a playable speculative hand in position for one small blind bet, so I'll see a cheap flop and use my button position postflop.

I am in the big blind with 6h4h and there is no raise to call, so checking is the correct play to see a flop cheaply. I will wait for more information before committing more chips.

I have a backdoor flush draw with 6h4h on a 6-3-3 flop, but no made hand. Checking is free and lets me see the turn cheaply while controlling pot size against the button's likely range.

We have a weak draw with backdoor flush and gutshot, and the board is paired. Checking to see a free turn is reasonable, as we have position and can evaluate later.

The pot is small and the board is paired with a possible 3 on the turn, so I want to control the pot and see a cheap river. Checking keeps the action open and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

Opponent has checked both the flop and turn, suggesting weakness. A modest bet should take down the pot often enough to be profitable.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot with 6h4h on a 6d3h3d2c board; calling 150 into a 400 pot is reasonable to see the river and potentially improve.

The board is paired with a 3 and an 8, and my 6-4 hand is weak. Since I can check and there's no bet to call, I'll see a free showdown to avoid putting more chips in with a losing hand.

3-7 offsuit is a weak hand, especially out of position against a big blind and small blind; folding avoids playing a dominated hand.

7-2 offsuit is a very weak hand, and I only need to call 50 to see a flop. Folding avoids losing chips with almost no equity.

9h5s is a weak hand with no pair or suited connectors, and I am out of position on the button facing a 100 chip raise. Folding preserves my 10000 chip stack for better opportunities.

Q5o is too weak to raise for value, but I am getting 3-to-1 on a call and can see the flop in position against the big blind. Calling is the cheapest way to realize my equity.

With J8o in the big blind and no call required, checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop rather than risking chips with a weak offsuit hand.

I have a queen-high flush draw on this ace-high flop, so I can semi-bluff to take the pot now or build value if I hit. A small bet pressures the big blind who checked preflop.

I have middle pair with J8 on an A-high flop; calling the small bet keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate the turn, avoiding bloating the pot against an ace.

Opponent's turn check (fallback) suggests weakness or a missed draw, but my middle pair with weak kicker has showdown value and I prefer to control the pot and keep their bluffs in. I'll check behind and evaluate the river.

I have no made hand and the river completes a likely flush draw. Checking avoids risking chips against a stronger holding.

Checking behind with middle pair on an ace-high board; the opponent's river check suggests I may already have showdown value, and betting risks only being called by better hands.
