Hold'em table

Three-handed on the button, Q8o is a standard open. A raise to 2.5bb takes the initiative and can win the blinds immediately.

Calling 200 to see a flop with As Jh is reasonable; I'll control pot size and reassess on later streets.

6-10 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise and a call; folding is correct.

The pot is 600 with no bet to call, and my As-Jh is a decent high-card hand on a dry 8d-4c-Kd board. Checking keeps the action open and lets me control pot size while potentially inducing a bluff from seat_1.

I have middle pair with a queen kicker and position after the small blind checks. A small bet gets value from worse pairs and overcards while protecting against free cards.

Calling 250 into a 850 pot on a dry Kd-8d-4c flop with AsJh is reasonable; I have a gutshot to a straight and backdoor flush potential, and the opponent's continuation bet is small enough to justify a call.

Board is dry and unpaired; my Jh gives a weak pair with backdoor flush potential. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have a weak pair of eights on a king-jack board and the opponent checked, so checking controls the pot and realizes showdown value without bloating a marginal hand.

Board is paired with a possible K or J full house for seat_1; checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids building a big bluff catcher into a likely stronger hand.

I only have a pair of eights with a queen kicker, and many hands that call a river bet beat me. Checking realizes my showdown value after the opponent checked.

7c Qh is a weak offsuit hand, and I'm out of position facing a raise to 100 with only 50 invested by the SB. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Cheap to complete with a weak hand heads-up against the big blind; not worth raising or folding for just 50 more.

ATo is ahead of a small-blind complete, and raising builds the pot while taking the initiative heads-up. A raise to 400 is a standard size that prices out weak hands without overcommitting.

Q6 offsuit facing a raise heads-up is too weak to continue profitably.

Q6 offsuit is a weak hand and folding on the button preflop for one bet is fine, especially in a 3-handed structure with no equity edge.

Button folded, so I am heads-up with suited connectors and a price to take the initiative. A small raise builds the pot and can fold out weak big-blind hands before I play out of position.

I hold 6s2d, a very weak hand with no playability. Facing a raise to 300, calling 200 is too expensive relative to my equity, so folding is the correct decision.

T2s is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind; folding avoids dominated spots and negative-EV steals.

Seat 1 folded, so it's heads-up between me (SB) and the BB. Calling 50 to see a flop with 9s8c is reasonable; I'll play the board and decide postflop.

Pocket deuces are best played cheaply; checking keeps the pot small and lets me try to flop a set against a limper.

I have a weak 88 with backdoor flush potential but no made hand, and the pot is unraised so checking is the standard play to control the pot and see a free card. Bluffing or raising here risks getting called by better and I have no strong read to justify aggression.

Pocket deuces missed the flop entirely; checking to see a free card with no value to bet.

Board is paired with Js and Ks, and my 9s8c has backdoor flush potential but no made hand. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a mediocre hand.

My pocket deuces missed the board entirely; checking to see the river cheaply since it's checked to me.

The board is paired with Js and Ks, and my 9s-8c has no made hand. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bluff with a weak holding.

I hold a set of deuces on a dry board with no flush or straight possible, and both opponents checked through the whole hand, so a modest value bet should get called by a weaker pair.

Seat 3's river raise to 150 represents significant strength on a Js-8h-Ks-4d-2d board. My 9s-8c makes a weak pair with no redraw, and calling 150 into a 350 pot is a negative expected value decision against a likely strong hand.

I have Ts4d on the button with only a 150 pot and 100 to call; this is a weak speculative hand that does not justify a call or raise against the blinds' positions.

Heads-up now that the button folded; Q7 suited is fine to raise for value/steal from the small blind against a single opponent.

T2o is too weak to continue against a preflop raise, even heads-up after the button folds.

Button with a weak, unsuited-connected junk hand (J5s) facing a raise into a multiway pot; not worth investing chips.

T2o is too weak to continue heads-up against the big blind; folding loses only the small blind.
