Hold'em table

9-6 offsuit is a weak button hand facing a raise-worthy pot; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with ace-high. A small raise takes the initiative and builds the pot rather than just completing.

Seat 1 folded, seat 2 raised to 300. I'm in the big blind with 100 invested, so calling 200 more is reasonable with suited connectors on the button-equivalent position. I'll see a flop and play post-flop.

I have top two pair on a wet flop with a flush draw out, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and protection rather than giving a free card.

I have a strong open-ended straight draw with ThJh on a 4c-As-8s board, so calling the 400 bet keeps my equity in the hand without overcommitting on the flop.

I have top two pair on a board with flush and straight possibilities, so a value bet of about two-thirds pot builds the pot while charging draws.

I have a gutshot straight draw to a 9 and backdoor flush potential; calling keeps me in the hand without overcommitting on a dry board where seat_2 is betting aggressively.

I have aces and fours on a three-spade river, strong enough for a small value bet against worse pairs and ace-high but not large enough to commit against a flush.

Seat 2 has shown heavy aggression across all streets and is representing a strong hand; with only a Ten-high on the river and no made straight or flush, calling is a thin value/bluff-catch play given the pot odds and remaining stack.

Q2o is too weak to call or raise from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves chips.

I have JTs, a playable suited hand. The small blind only put in 50 and seat 1 has 100. Calling 50 to see a flop is reasonable with this hand.

AJ suited is a strong hand heads-up against a limper; raising to isolate and build the pot for value.

JTs is a playable hand that benefits from seeing a flop multiway; calling 250 into a 450 pot keeps my stack healthy and preserves fold equity for later streets.

Board is paired with two Tens, and I hold Tc, giving me a weak pair vulnerable to overcards. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I hold the nut flush draw with an overcard (Ah Jh) on a paired board; opponent checked so I bet to apply pressure and build value/fold equity with strong draw equity.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a paired board, and calling keeps my hand disguised while avoiding overcommitting to a potentially tricky texture.

Board is paired with two hearts and a 3h, giving me a flush draw plus a ten kicker; checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me realize equity without bloating it against a strong-looking range.

I hold the nut flush (Ah-Jh with three hearts on board), so I should bet for value while keeping the sizing moderate to induce calls from weaker hands like made tens or flush draws.

I have a pair of tens with a flush draw, so calling the turn raise is profitable given the pot odds and remaining equity. Folding would be too weak, and raising is not justified without more information.

Board is paired and rainbow-ish with a flush draw; my JTs is likely behind seat_1's aggression. Checking to realize equity and avoid bloating the pot when I'm probably behind.

I hold the nut flush (Ah Jh with three hearts on the board) after a passive river check from seat_3; a solid value bet should extract chips from any two pair, set, or missed-draw holdings without risking too much stack given the checked-back action.

Seat 1 has shown extreme aggression on every street and is representing a strong hand; my Js-Tc is unlikely to beat that range on this board, so preserving chips is the best play.

I have Qd2c, a weak offsuit hand with no playability. The pot odds don't justify calling 100 into 150 with this garbage hand, so folding is the correct play.

With button folded, it's effectively heads-up against BB; T-J offsuit is strong enough to raise for value and take initiative.

Button folded and the small blind opened to 3bb. King-eight suited is a standard big-blind defend with decent equity and pot odds, so I call rather than fold or inflate the pot with a light three-bet.

I have an open-ended straight draw (T-J with 9-high board, need Q or 8) and no pair, so a semi-bluff continuation bet as preflop raiser is profitable against a wide BB calling range on a dry-ish A-high board.

King-high with no pair and no draw on an ace-high board is too weak to continue against a c-bet; the price does not justify a call or a bluff raise.

7-5 offsuit is a weak hand from the button in a 3-handed pot facing a raise-equivalent call; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so this is blind versus blind. Jack-six offsuit is weak out of position, but a small raise can take the pot down often and I can fold to a three-bet.

I have Q-high with backdoor flush potential, so I'll see a flop cheaply. Calling 200 keeps the pot manageable and avoids overcommitting with a weak hand.

Jack-six completely missed this king-queen flop and has no draw, so checking is the only sensible option heads-up out of position.

Board is K♦ Q♦ 4h, and my hand is 5c Q♠, giving me a weak queen high with backdoor flush and straight draws. Seat 2 checked, so I'll check behind to control the pot and avoid building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Jack-high with no pair or draw has almost no showdown value, but checking is free and avoids spewing into a caller who can still have a king, queen, or diamond draw.

The pot is 600 with a Kd-Qd-2c board and I hold Qs. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bluff catcher for seat_2, who has shown strength preflop and checked twice. I'll let them take the lead on the river.

I only have a jack kicker with the board pair, so a bet mostly folds out worse and gets called by better. Checking realizes my showdown value for free.

The board pairs my 5c with a 4c, giving me a pair of fours, but the Kd-Qd run likely favors seat_2's preflop raise. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

74s is playable enough on the button in three-handed to open small and take the initiative with position rather than flat or fold.

With As-2h, I have no pair and a weak kicker. Facing a raise to 250 with only 200 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this speculative hand.

4h6d offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise, not worth calling to see a flop out of position.

8-3 offsuit is a weak hand with poor equity, and I'm out of position on the button facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

2-4 offsuit is a very weak hand heads-up against a big blind with position disadvantage; not worth continuing for a small pot.
