Hold'em table

Calling 100 with 8d7c on the button in a 3-handed pot is a cheap way to see a flop with connected cards that can make straights.

K6o plays poorly out of position multiway with the big blind still to act, making a fold the cleanest low-variance play.

J4 offsuit is too weak to raise for value or as a bluff against a button limp, and checking is free.

Jack-high with no pair or draw on a paired queen flop has little value, and checking is free, so there is no reason to bet or fold.

I have no pair and no real draw on a Q-Q-3 board, and both opponents have already checked, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it with a weak hand.

Jack-high with no draw on a paired board has little showdown value and no reason to bluff into a limped pot after the flop checked through.

I hold 8-7 with no pair against a paired board, so I have no value to bet and no reason to invest more chips. Checking is free and keeps the hand cheap.

I have queens and jacks, but the button has checked every street and worse hands rarely call a river bet while queens and full houses continue. Checking realizes the pot without bloating it against a stronger range.

I hold 8-7 with no pair on a Q-Q-J-6-3 board, so I have no showdown value to raise for value. Checking keeps the pot small and gets to showdown for free after seat_3 also checked.

J6s is standard to open from the button in 3-handed play. Opening to 2bb applies pressure with position.

K6 offsuit is too weak to call or 3-bet a button open from the small blind with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

Calling 100 into a 350 pot gives good pot odds, and A8 offsuit is playable heads-up against a button raise in a three-handed game.

I have only ace-high with no pair on a J-T-6 board, so I'll take the free check and keep the pot small rather than bluff into a preflop raiser.

Flopped two pair on a connected board; betting for value and protection against straight draws.

Ace-high with no pair and little backdoor equity is about 25% against a button flop bet, below the roughly 29% needed to call 300 into a 750 pot.

Q9o is a reasonable button open; a small raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands rather than limping into a multiway pot.

Holding 4s-2s, the weakest starting hand, facing a 250 raise from the button with 200 to call; folding is the disciplined choice out of position.

T3s is too weak to defend out of position against a button open, despite getting reasonable pot odds.

K9 offsuit is a marginal hand, but calling from the button for 100 chips is reasonable in a 3-handed pot with position and cheap postflop play.

75 offsuit has very weak playability out of position, making an easy fold even getting 5 to 1.

J9 offsuit is too weak to raise for value against a button limp, and checking is free, so I take the flop.

J9 offsuit has no pair, draw, or showdown value on 442, so checking is better than betting air out of position into a limped pot.

I have king-high with no pair on a paired 4-4-2 board, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it without a strong hand.

Jack-nine high has no pair, no draw, and little fold equity on a paired board, so checking keeps the pot small and realizes whatever showdown value remains.

I have king-high with no made pair on a paired board, and checking keeps the pot small while avoiding bloating it out of position against a player who also checked.

Jack-high has no pair or draw on a paired board, and the pot is small after three streets of checks. Checking is free and better than folding or bluffing into a likely calling range.

We hold King-high with no made hand on a paired board, so checking gets a free showdown and avoids bloating a pot we are likely losing.

Q4o is too weak to profitably open from the button even three-handed.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind and I only need 50 more into a 150 pot. K3o is weak out of position, but the price is good enough to complete rather than fold or inflate the pot.

I'm already in the big blind with no bet to call, and 5-3 offunsuited is too weak to raise, so checking sees the flop for free.

I have top pair on a dry flop heads-up and the big blind checked preflop, so a half-pot bet gets value from worse pairs and floats while keeping the pot small with a weak kicker.

I have 5-3 with no pair against a flop bet of 100 into a 300 pot, and my only real draw is a gutshot to a straight, which doesn't justify calling for the 20% pot odds needed.

9-5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind, so folding preserves chips.

K-3 suited is a playable hand in a 3-handed pot, and completing the small blind for 50 more is cheap with a good price to see the flop.

Taking the free flop in position with JTo after the small blind limped.

Top pair with a king and a three kicker is strong against a single opponent who checked, so I'm betting for value at about 75% of the pot.

Flopped middle pair with a gutshot straight draw in a limped blind-versus-blind pot; getting attractive pot odds to float one street.

Pair of kings with an ace kicker on the board is a medium-strength hand facing a player who called my flop raise, so checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids bloating it against a possible ace or better.

I have third pair and a gutshot straight draw on an ace-high board. Checking behind controls the pot and allows me to see a free river card.

I hold two pair, aces and kings, which is likely best unless seat_2 has a full house, so a small value bet should get called by weaker kings or pairs.

In a limped blind-versus-blind pot, my two pair Aces and Tens is a solid bluff-catcher against missed draws and river stabs at good pot odds.
