Hold'em table

Nine-four offsuit is too weak to call or raise from the button in a three-handed pot, so folding preserves chips.

Heads-up pot after button folded; cheap call with 79o getting good odds, will play postflop cautiously.

I have TsJs on the button with no raise to call, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop cheaply while preserving my stack.

7-9 offsuit with no pair or draw on this board; checking to see a free card is best.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a dry board, but the pot is small and the opponent checked. I'll keep the pot controlled and see how they act on the turn.

I have no pair, no draw, and no diamond flush relevance; checking is free and keeps the pot small with a weak hand.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a coordinated diamond board, but the opponent checked twice and wants to see a cheap showdown. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids scaring them off while still realizing my equity.

No pair, no draw, just 9-high with a busted straight draw; no value in betting a hand that only high cards can win with, check to showdown.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a dry board, and the opponent has shown consistent weakness by checking every street. Checking back preserves my equity and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

87 offsuit is a weak hand out of position relative to two active players; not worth calling a raise-sized pot in a 3-handed short-stack dynamic.

6s Jd is a weak offsuit hand with limited playability, and I'm out of position in a 3-handed game. Folding avoids putting chips in with poor equity against the big blind's range.

I have a weak offsuit hand (Jh 9s) in the blinds with no post-flop position advantage, so folding to the big blind's 100 chip investment minimizes expected loss.

42o is the worst offsuit hand and I am out of position versus the big blind, so folding the extra 50 is better than continuing.

K7 suited is a playable button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

5s6c offsuit is weak, facing a raise with two players left to act; not worth continuing from the small blind.

4s Jd is a weak offsuit hand facing a raise and a fold; the pot odds don't justify calling with such a marginal holding preflop.

2-9 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-worthy pot; folding preserves chips for better spots.

7s Qh is a weak offsuit hand with no playability out of position. The small blind limped, and I have no value in continuing with such a marginal hand.

Calling the big blind with As7h in position is reasonable; I can see a flop and control pot size. The hand has some playability but is not strong enough to raise preflop.

92s is weak but suited, and completing costs only 50 into a 250 pot. Calling is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

I'm big blind with weak offsuit 6-5; both others limped, so I check for free and see a cheap flop.

Nine-high with no pair and no real draw has little equity multiway, so I take the free card rather than bluff into two opponents.

I have gutshot/backdoor equity only with 6-5 on a K-7-4 board; no reason to bet with no pair and one street check already, so check back.

Board is dry with no obvious draws; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply with a weak top pair.

I have no pair, draw, or showdown value on a king-high board, and checking is free against two opponents who both checked the flop.

I have no pair, no draw (6-5 offsuit on K-7-4-T board), so checking to showdown cheaply is best given no bets.

I have a weak top pair with an Ace kicker on a board that completed a straight draw. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Board pair of tens with a weak nine kicker has little value multiway, but checking is free and a river bluff into two opponents is unlikely to succeed.

I have no pair and no draw, so checking is best to avoid risking chips with a weak hand.

The board is paired with two diamonds and I hold the nut flush draw plus a pair of sevens; checking lets me realize equity and potentially induce a bluff from the other player, while a raise risks only getting called by a better hand. I'll take the showdown and split or win the pot.
