Hold'em table

J5o is a weak offsuit hand out of position, and calling with a marginal hand is unlikely to be profitable over time. I'll let this go cheaply and wait for a better spot.

Button folded, so it's a battle of blinds. A7o is ahead of the big blind's random range, so I raise for value and to take the initiative.

Seat 2 opened to 250 with KsQs on the button; calling 150 keeps the pot manageable and preserves my stack while keeping the big blind in for a cheap flop. I'll play postflop rather than 3-bet without a stronger holding.

I raised preflop and the board is dry enough for a continuation bet; A-high has some equity and I can fold to a raise.

I have a backdoor flush draw and gutshot with KcQs on a 5sTs3d board. Calling 300 into a 800 pot keeps the pot manageable while I can realize equity and potentially hit a straight or flush later.

Ace-high on a paired board has little value and poor fold equity against a calling range, so checking controls the pot and lets me evaluate the opponent's turn action.

Board is paired with three clubs and a ten; my KQ has backdoor flush and straight potential but is vulnerable. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate the river without committing more chips.

The board is a completed straight with no pair, so I have a strong hand but cannot improve further. Checking behind avoids building a pot I might lose to a bluff and preserves my stack.

Positional raise with a marginal hand to steal the blinds or play in position against the blinds.

With 5d2s, I have almost no equity against a preflop raise. Calling 250 more into a 450 pot is a bad price, so folding is the correct play.

I have AcJx, a decent hand with backdoor flush potential. Raising to 300 builds the pot and applies pressure, especially since I'm on the button and can take control of the hand.

3s5d is a very weak hand out of position facing a raise, so calling or raising would be unprofitable. Folding minimizes loss.

J2o is too weak to call a button raise out of position, and the pot odds do not justify chasing with a dominated hand.

A7s is strong enough to raise from the button, applying pressure on the blinds and taking initiative preflop.

J4o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, so folding avoids playing a dominated hand.

I hold 2d6c, a weak hand that cannot withstand a 300-chip raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

QJo on the button is a profitable open in a 3-handed game; raising to 250 applies pressure and builds the pot with position.

9d 6c is a weak hand that is unlikely to improve enough to justify calling a raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack against a stronger range.

Q3o is weak but I'm getting good pot odds to call 150 into 400, and I close the action preflop. Folding is too tight here, while raising would overcommit with a marginal hand.

This flop is extremely coordinated with straight and flush possibilities, and my pair of queens is vulnerable out of position. I'll check to see how the preflop raiser reacts before committing more chips.

I flopped two pair on a wet board and should bet for value and protection against draws; a 400 bet into 550 is a standard size.

I have 7-2 offsuit, the worst starting hand, and I'm out of position on the button facing a 100bb raise. Folding saves chips for better spots.

T3o is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind, and calling would just invite a raise or tough postflop spots. Folding saves chips for a better spot.
