Hold'em table

Calling the 100 big blind with Ts-Jd on the button is reasonable; I keep the pot small and avoid being forced all-in preflop with a speculative hand.

KQ suited is a strong multiway holding; squeezing from the small blind builds value and applies pressure to the limper and big blind.

A9o is strong enough three-handed against a small blind iso-raise over a limp, and we are getting good pot odds (350 to win 1000). Flatting keeps the limper's weaker range in the pot and avoids bloating the pot with a dominated-prone hand.

I hold Ts-Jd, a weak hand out of position facing a raise to 450. Calling 350 more is too expensive without a strong holding, so folding preserves my stack.

Bet for value and protection with top pair and a strong kicker on a coordinated two-heart board.

Ace-high with only backdoor draws on K-J-8 facing a c-bet from the preflop raiser. Calling needs about 28% equity, and I don't have it against a range strong on this board.

A♠Q♥ is a strong button opening hand in a three-handed game. I raise to 2.5bb to build value and apply pressure to the blinds.

J6o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet. Folding is standard.

I hold Jd Qd, a suited connector with good post-flop playability. Calling 150 to see a flop is a reasonable price against the button's 250 raise, and I want to keep the pot manageable while preserving my stack.

I have a strong open-ended straight draw with Jd Qd on 8c 7d Ah, but the opponent already bet preflop and I'm in position, so checking back lets me control pot size and realize equity without building a big pot with a draw.

Betting top pair with a strong queen kicker for value and protection on this coordinated board.

The board is 8c 7d Ah, which misses my Jd Qd. I have a backdoor flush draw but no made hand, so I'll call the 350 to keep the pot manageable and see a cheap turn rather than overcommitting with a weak holding.

Board is wet with flush and straight draws; I have a medium pair and want to control pot size. Checking keeps opponent's bluff frequency in play and avoids building a big pot with marginal equity.

I have top two pair on a coordinated board and should value-bet while charging straight draws and weaker aces.

I have a strong straight draw with Jd Qd on 8c 7d Ah Qs, giving me an open-ended straight draw plus a backdoor flush draw. Calling 800 to continue with 9400 remaining is a reasonable pot odds play against a turn raise.

Board is paired with an Ace, and my Jd Qd is a marginal top pair with a weak kicker. Seat 2 has shown heavy aggression on every street, so checking back lets me control the pot and potentially induce a bluff or realize equity without bloating the pot with a weak hand.

Top two pair is a strong value hand after the opponent check-called both flop and turn. A roughly two-thirds-pot river bet can be called by many worse aces and two-pair holdings.

I have a gutshot straight draw that hit on the river (9 makes a straight), giving me a strong hand. The opponent has been aggressive throughout, but calling 1900 into a 4750 pot is reasonable given my made hand.

83 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds at 100bb, so folding is the cheapest option.

I have 2h5h, a weak hand that plays poorly out of position. The big blind has already invested 100 and can see a flop cheaply, so folding avoids putting more chips in with poor odds.

I have a weak offsuit hand (Jh 5d) and the pot odds don't justify calling 100 to continue with such a disconnected hand.

9-4 offsuit is a weak heads-up blind hand and does not justify completing out of position.

J2 offsuit is a weak button opening hand in this configuration, so folding avoids marginal spots against the blinds.

Blind vs blind, 85o is too weak to raise profitably out of position but getting 3:1 to complete, so a limp is a reasonable low-risk play.

I am in the big blind and the action is on me with no raises; checking keeps the pot small and avoids committing chips with a speculative suited connector.

Trip fives on a dry paired board is strong, so a half-pot bet builds the pot and gets value from the big blind's pairs and draws. Leading out also avoids giving free cards in a limped pot.

I have a gutshot to a straight and two overcards, giving me decent equity on a wet board, so calling keeps my stack in play without overcommitting. The pot odds justify a call given the small bet size relative to the pot.

Trip fives are strong here, so I'm betting about two-thirds of the pot for value. It also charges the BB's draws and weaker 5s, 4s and pairs.

I have a gutshot straight draw to an 8 and a backdoor flush draw, giving me enough equity to call the 270 turn bet. Folding would be too cautious, and raising risks building a large pot with a weak hand.

Trip fives are strong against a passive big blind that called twice, and worse hands like Ax, 4x, 3x and weaker fives can call. A value bet of about two-thirds pot targets that calling range, while accepting that any 2 makes a straight and beats me.

Seat 3's river raise to 600 on a 3-5-5-4-A board is a strong value or bluff signal; my T-Q high card hand has almost no showdown value and cannot credibly continue, so folding minimizes loss.

AQo on the button in 3-handed play is a strong open, so I'm raising to 2.5bb for value.

Seat 3 raised to 250 with the button, and my 6s-Tc is too weak to call 200 more or reraise profitably. Folding preserves my 100bb stack for better spots.

K2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open from the big blind at this sizing.
