Hold'em table

Q8o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker with position, so I make a standard 2.5bb raise rather than limp.

AJ offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet against a single opener in a 3-handed pot, aiming to isolate and take initiative.

With 6d Ts on the button, I'm in a 3-bet pot out of position and my hand lacks the strength to continue profitably. Folding preserves my 100bb stack for better spots.

Q8o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet; it is dominated by much of seat 2's range and does not justify calling 600 more.

Q7 offsuit from the button facing a raise-limped pot isn't strong enough to call given weak kicker and reverse implied odds; fold and wait for a better spot.

I have Qc6d in the small blind facing a 50 chip call. This is a weak offsuit hand with poor postflop playability, and I'd rather preserve my stack than see a flop out of position.

I have Q6o on the button with blinds of 50/100. This is a weak hand that plays poorly postflop, and I'd rather preserve my stack than call 100 to see a flop with such marginal equity.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Suited connectors have enough playability to raise for initiative rather than flat the extra 50.

6-2 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; folding is correct here.

T2s is too weak to open from the button in three-handed play; it flops poorly and is dominated too often, so folding is the higher-EV choice.

Heads-up now after button folded; 98o plays well as a raising hand against a single big blind, so I raise to apply pressure and build the pot in position advantage.

I have a pocket pair of twos, which is a marginal hand. Calling keeps me in the pot cheaply without committing too much against a raise, allowing me to see a flop and potentially improve.

I have a flush draw with the 9s plus a pair of 8s for backup equity, so betting builds the pot while I have decent equity against the field.

I have a pocket pair that can improve to a set, so I'll call the small continuation bet to keep the pot manageable and see if I hit on the turn. Folding would be too weak, and raising with just 2-2 is risky.

My pair of 8s is weak against a caller who has stuck around through two streets, so I'll take a free card and control the pot rather than bet into possible stronger holdings.

Board is paired with a K and J, and my pocket twos are vulnerable; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bluff.

My hand is just middle pair with a weak kicker; no reason to bet into two checks when I could be behind, so I check for a cheap showdown.

The board is paired with J and K, and my hand is a small pocket pair that likely missed. Both players checked to me on the river, so there's no reason to bluff; checking to see a showdown is the best play.

T4 offsuit is too weak to continue even in a 3-handed pot; folding preserves chips for better spots.

I have Qh7h, a playable suited hand, and only need to call 50 to see a flop. The pot is 150, giving good odds, and seat_1's 100bb raise is standard. I'll call to keep the pot manageable and see if I connect.

T2o is too weak to raise, and checking is free after the small blind completes. I keep the pot small and see a flop.

Checking back with Qh7h on a dry flop keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand. I can take a free card to improve.

Ten-deuce has no pair, no draw, and no relevant blockers on K-high. With the pot checked to me, checking back is the highest-EV line.

Board is dry and I hold a backdoor flush draw with no made hand; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak holding.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker and some showdown value, while the opponent has checked both streets. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids betting into a better hand or a draw.

Board is paired with a possible full house for the opponent; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with a weak queen-high hand.

I have trip twos on the river after seat_3 checked through, so a small value bet targets king-high and pair hands that may call a modest size.

Seat 1's river raise to 150 represents significant strength. My hand (7h Qh) has no pair and only a backdoor flush draw that missed, so I cannot credibly call or raise.

I have J5s on the button with no prior action, but calling 100 to play a weak speculative hand out of position is not profitable. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

T2o is too weak to complete out of position against the big blind; calling realizes equity poorly and raising builds a pot I cannot play well.
