Hold'em table

9c4c offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q9 offsuit is strong enough to open from the small blind after the button folds. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind and compensates for playing out of position.

5h7s is a weak offsuit hand facing a 3x raise from the small blind; calling out of position with no equity edge is losing play.

J8 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A small raise pressures the blinds while keeping the investment modest with a marginal hand.

JJ is a strong hand heads-up vs a single raiser; 3-betting for value builds the pot and isolates the button.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably against this sizable three-bet, even with position. It has poor equity realization and no useful blockers for a four-bet bluff.

QJo is strong on the button in 3-max; raising for value and initiative against two blinds.

76o is weak out of position facing a 3bb raise; not worth defending.

K5 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a 3bb open out of position. Its poor playability and domination risk outweigh the pot odds.

3d9h offsuit is weak from the button facing a raise-call situation in a 3-handed pot; not worth continuing.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 into a 150 pot. With a suited hand and 100bb effective stacks, limping is a reasonable way to see a flop without inflating the pot out of position.

Ten-high offsuit is weak but I'm in the big blind with a free check against one limper, so I see a cheap flop.

Bottom pair has showdown value but is too weak to build a pot out of position. Checking keeps weaker hands in and lets me reassess against a bet.

I have ten-high with no draws; checking behind is free and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

Turning trips gives us a strong value bet after the flop checked through. Betting three-quarters pot extracts value from queens, sevens, and diamond draws while charging draws to see the river.

Ten-high with no draw on a paired board facing a turn bet; calling 150 to win 350 with essentially no equity is losing play.

JTo is a standard button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while retaining positional advantage if called.

A6s suited ace plays fine against a 2.5x open with good pot odds; calling keeps the pot small and preserves fold equity postflop.

76o facing a raise and a call out of position with two players still to act; not worth continuing for 150 more.

A-high with a gutshot-ish backdoor on a low board; checking keeps the pot small and realizes equity cheaply against the preflop raiser.

This low, connected flop is poor for a continuation bluff against the small blind’s calling range. With only overcards and a backdoor flush draw, checking preserves equity without building the pot.

Top pair ace on a scary board; both checked flop, so I'll bet for value and protection against draws (wheel straight possibilities).

Jack-high has no meaningful draw and insufficient equity to call a two-thirds-pot turn bet. With no useful value blockers, this is also a poor candidate for a bluff raise.

5-9 offsuit is weak and out of position against the big blind; not worth continuing.
