Hold'em table

AQ offsuit is a strong hand on the button; raising to build the pot and take initiative against blinds.

A9s is strong enough to 3-bet the button open from the small blind, taking the initiative and reducing the chance of a multiway pot out of position.

K5o is badly dominated against a button open followed by a small-blind 3-bet; calling 900 into a 2300 pot requires ~39% equity and this hand has far less, with position disadvantages postflop.

J7 offsuit is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button; folding avoids a negative-EV spot.

Heads-up after the button folds, K6o has solid equity against the big blind's wide range. Raising to 3x builds fold equity and initiative rather than passively completing.

9-6 offsuit facing a raise is weak; folding is best to avoid investing more chips out of position with a poor hand.

J7s is a standard open-raise from the button 3-handed; taking the initiative with position and fold equity is profitable.

87o offsuit is weak against a button raise; not worth defending from small blind out of position for 250 more.

Queen-ten suited is strong enough to continue against a button open after the small blind folds, and calling keeps the pot manageable while realizing equity postflop.

Queen-high with only backdoor equity on an ace-high flop against the preflop raiser. Checking is free and better than bluffing into their range advantage.

I flopped two pair (jacks and sevens) after my preflop raise, and seat_2 checked, likely indicating weakness or a draw. Betting around 3/4 pot extracts value from Ax, Jx, or flush/straight draws.

I have a nut flush draw plus a gutshot to the nuts, about 12 outs. Direct odds are slightly short, but deep stacks give enough implied odds to call this flop bet out of position.

I have an eight-out straight draw but no showdown value and am out of position against a player who already bet the flop. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me realize equity or respond to their sizing.

I hold two pair (jacks and sevens) on an A-high board and the villain checked the turn after calling a flop bet, so a value bet around 700 into 1650 charges draws and weaker aces/two pairs while keeping worse hands in.

Queen-ten has only a gutshot on this turn and does not have the equity to call a 700 bet into a 2350 pot against continued aggression.

Weak offsuit low-connectivity hand (3h4s) from the button facing a raise-equivalent open; folding is cheap and preserves stack for better spots.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with KJo. A small raise builds the pot and takes the initiative with a hand that plays well.

5c3d is dominated trash facing a 3x raise out of position; calling 200 into a 400 pot needs far more equity than this hand has. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

76o is too weak to open from the button into two live blinds; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

K4o is weak, but on the button three-handed I have position and fold equity, so a small 2.5x open is better than folding; I can take the blinds or play a pot in position.

Q6 offsuit is weak facing a raise; folding from SB is the standard, low-cost play.

K8 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; calling 150 into 400 does not justify the dominated, low-playability hand.
