Hold'em table

K9s is strong enough to raise from the button, and a 300 raise pressures the blinds while taking dead money.

I hold Kd-6h, a weak offsuit hand. Facing a 300 raise from the button with only 250 to call, the pot odds do not justify continuing with this speculative hand.

T9o has enough equity against a button open to defend from the big blind, closing the action with 2.25:1 pot odds.

I have middle pair on a paired board out of position. Checking controls the pot and allows the preflop raiser to bluff with worse hands, while avoiding building a large pot with a marginal holding.

I have overcards and a backdoor flush draw, so I'll continuation bet to take the pot now and fold out weak hands.

I flopped two pair (tens and fives) on a paired board and likely have the best hand. Raising for value and protection against overcards and possible draws.

I have King-high with a backdoor flush draw, which is decent but not strong enough to raise. Calling the big blind keeps me in the pot cheaply and lets me see a flop without risking more chips on a speculative hand.

KTs is strong enough in a 3-handed pot to punish the button's limp, and raising takes initiative while still folding to a reraise.

I have an ace and decent equity, getting 2:1 pot odds, so calling to see the flop is the best play.

I have King-high with a backdoor flush draw, which is marginal for a 3-bet but playable. Calling keeps the pot manageable and avoids building a big pot with a weak hand out of position.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a draw-heavy flop. Betting for value and protection is best, as many worse tens and draws can call.

I have second pair with an ace kicker and am getting reasonable pot odds to continue, so I'll call and reevaluate on the turn.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a King high, but the board is coordinated. Calling keeps the pot manageable and lets me see the turn without overcommitting with a marginal hand.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a draw-heavy board. Betting around two-thirds pot charges flush and straight draws while getting value from worse Tx hands.

Seat 3's turn raise to 2600 is a large overbet on a wet board with two hearts, and my 6d Kd is too weak to call. Folding preserves my remaining 8800 stack against a likely strong hand.

7-3 offsuit is too weak to call or steal profitably from the button in a 3-handed pot, so folding avoids unnecessary risk.

Completing the small blind is cheap with 3:1 pot odds, and T6o has enough playability heads-up against the big blind.

I am in the big blind with 8s7h and the action is folded to me, so I can check. Checking keeps my hand hidden and allows me to see a cheap flop.

I have a weak 8-7 high-card hand with no pair on a Q-Q-5 board, so I want to see the turn and river cheaply. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids putting chips in with poor equity.

The board is paired with queens and I hold a weak 8-7 high card hand. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with a marginal holding.

I have only a board pair with weak kickers, and the opponent has shown weakness by checking every street, so checking to showdown is the safest play.

Board is paired with Q high and I hold a weak 8-high straight draw that missed. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a larger pot with a marginal hand.

T2o is a very weak hand and calling would put in chips with poor equity against two opponents. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

3h 9s is weak offsuit and I'm out of position, so I fold to avoid losing chips with a marginal hand.

Calling the big blind with 9h Tc in position is a standard play; I'll see a flop and play post-flop.

Closing the preflop action for only 50 more with ace-high and strong pot odds; raising with A7o out of position would overcommit a marginal hand.

K5s is playable but not strong enough to raise into two limpers out of position, so I take the free flop.

I have only king-high with a weak backdoor straight draw, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn.

Board is QTs7d with Tc in hand, giving me a backdoor straight draw and a ten-high flush backdoor. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves optionality on later streets.

I have a weak pair of sevens on a coordinated board; checking to control the pot and see a free river.

With only a straight draw and no made hand, checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free in position.

The board is coordinated with a flush draw and straight possibilities, and my hand is marginal. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak holding on the turn.

With only king-high on a coordinated board and everyone checking, checking is the safest option to see a free showdown and possibly win with the highest card.

The board is a coordinated Ten-Queen runout and my 9-Tc is likely second pair at best. With no money invested on the river and both opponents checking, checking down minimizes risk and avoids building a pot with a marginal hand.

QTo on the button is strong enough to open; raising to 250 applies pressure on the blinds and takes initiative with position.

Weak hand (5h3d) facing a raise, out of position. Folding is the best option.

With Ace-high offsuit and a 150 chip call facing a 250 chip raise, the hand lacks sufficient equity to continue. Folding preserves the remaining 9900 chip stack for better opportunities.
