Hold'em table

Button steal with suited king-high hand in 3-handed game; raising wide is standard here.

With Jd5c, I have no pair, no suitedness, and a weak offsuit hand. Facing a raise to 250 from the button, calling 200 more is a bad price and folding preserves my stack.

J6s has enough equity and suited playability to defend the big blind against a 2.5x button open, and the price to call is acceptable.

I have bottom pair with a jack kicker on a dryish flop against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply.

Continuation bet on a dry board after preflop aggression; opponent checked, good bluff spot with K-high and backdoor equity.

Bottom pair with no draw out of position is too weak to continue against a flop c-bet, so I fold rather than chase a marginal hand.

Calling the 100 big blind with Jh-2d keeps me in the hand cheaply while avoiding a risky raise with a weak offsuit hand. I'll see a flop and reassess based on the board.

43 suited is too weak to continue out of position after the button limp; the extra 50 does not justify realizing this hand multiway.

Weak hand (5h2h) and no additional cost to see the flop, so I check.

No pair or draw with 5h2h on a Th6s7c board, checking to see a free card.

Board is disconnected and I have a weak J-high with a backdoor flush draw; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

No pair or draw with 5h2h on this paired board; checking to see a free card is best since both players have shown weakness.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw, but no made hand. The board is paired and dangerous, so I want to control the pot and see a cheap river. Checking also keeps my options open for a bluff if the opponent shows weakness.

My hand plays the board with a low kicker; no reason to bet a mediocre pair of 6s into two other players on the river.

The board is paired with a 6 and a 7, and my Jh doesn't improve my hand. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal holding.

67o is too weak to open from the button in a three-handed pot; folding avoids dominated offsuit junk.

Pocket nines heads-up vs BB after a fold; raise for value and to build the pot with a strong hand.

With Q7o on a 3-bet pot and the button already folded, my equity is too weak to continue against the opener's range. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

I'm on the button with KJ offsuit, a solid hand to raise for value and take initiative against two players who haven't shown strength.

I have Ace-high with a Ten kicker, which is decent but not strong enough to lead a raise. Calling 250 to see a flop is reasonable given the pot odds and my remaining stack.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise and a small-blind call. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a board that completed the straight draw, and the opponent's preflop raise suggests a strong range. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff or see a free card.

I made the nut-ish straight (K-Q-J-T-9) and want to build the pot while protecting against flush/draw hands, especially since I hold the Jc blocker.

Seat 1 raised to 500 on a Th-9c-Qc flop; my Tc is a weak ten-high with no backdoor flush, and calling 500 to win a 1200 pot is a poor implied-odds play. Folding preserves my 9700 stack for better spots.

I hold T2o, a weak hand that is unlikely to win against the range of the blinds. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

T4o is too weak to continue out of position for another half blind after the button folded. Folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand against the big blind.

K2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even three-handed; folding avoids putting chips in with a dominated king and no playability.

Heads-up with an ace, folding button, I raise for value and to build the pot with a decent hand.

My hand (6d Ks) is weak offsuit and unlikely to improve against a preflop raise. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.
