Hold'em table

I have 6d As, which is weak offsuit and dominated by the blinds' range. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

AQ offsuit is strong heads-up against the big blind after the button folds. Raise to 300 for value and initiative.

J9o offsuit facing a 3x raise from a seat who isn't exploited yet; not strong enough to continue profitably, especially with another player still to act potential and no reads to justify a call.

A8 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

Calling 150 to see a flop with QJs in position is reasonable; the opener raised to 250 and the SB folded, so I'm not facing a squeeze. I'll keep the pot controlled and evaluate on the flop.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot with Q high, but the pot is small and I'm OOP. Checking keeps my options open and avoids building a bigger pot with a mediocre hand.

Bet 180 into the 550-chip pot to apply pressure while holding the nut-flush draw and an overcard. This also builds the pot when we have strong equity if called.

Calling 180 into a 730 pot offers ~4.0:1 odds; my QJs has backdoor flush and gutshot straight potential but no pair on Kh-2d-7d, so I'm keeping the pot controlled rather than raising with a speculative hand out of position.

The board is dry and I have a weak gutshot with no pair; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

With ace-high and no strong draw, betting is unlikely to fold out many hands that called the flop. I’ll take the free river and preserve showdown value.

Board is paired and relatively dry; my Q-high with a backdoor flush draw is weak. Both players checked turn, so checking river is the safest play to avoid building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Ace-high has reasonable showdown value against missed draws, but a bet is unlikely to get called by worse hands after the flop call. Check back rather than risk turning it into a bluff.

K4 offsuit is a weak button hand facing a raise-to-100 with two players left to act; not worth continuing given deep stacks and poor equity realization.

I have 2h Js, a weak offsuit hand, and the big blind has already committed 100 chips. With seat 3 folding, it's a heads-up pot, but I don't want to call 50 more with such a marginal hand.

With 6h5d on the button facing a 100bb big blind raise, I have no fold equity and a weak hand that is unlikely to improve enough to justify calling or raising.

T4 suited is weak, but the button has folded and the favorable pot odds make completing the small blind reasonable.

Weak offsuit 3-7, checking the option for free with no raise to worry about.

With no pair and only backdoor straight and flush potential, this flop is not a good bluffing spot. Check and take the free card.

3-7 offsuit missed the board completely; no reason to bet, check and see what develops.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this turn, so checking avoids investing chips with little showdown or improvement potential.

No made hand (3-7 high) and no draw; checking to see a free river with pot small.

My T kicker can beat some of the weak hands that checked twice, so I’ll take the showdown rather than risk a river bluff into a range that may still call.

No pair, weak hand with no showdown value to bet; checking to showdown is best since I can't be bluffed further and betting would only invite a call from a better hand.

K7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure to the blinds while keeping the sizing modest.

9-6 offsuit is weak, facing a raise out of position with no fold equity; easy fold.

With Q8o on the button facing a raise and a fold, the hand is too weak to call 150 chips profitably, so folding preserves my stack.

Button raise with Ace-high to isolate limpers and build a pot in position.

Seat 3 opened to 300 with KdJd on the button. I'm in the small blind and facing a 250 call. The hand is decent but not strong enough to 3-bet, so I'll call to keep the pot manageable and see a flop.

K♣5♣ is a playable suited hand from the big blind, and calling 200 into the 700-chip pot offers a reasonable price despite being multiway and out of position.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw with KdJd on 3h5sJc. Checking keeps my stack intact and allows me to realize equity cheaply while potentially inducing bluffs from the other players.

I have a modest pair of fives on a relatively dry flop, but the preflop raiser still acts behind me. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate a bet or take a free card.

I have only bottom pair with a weak kicker; checking behind keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it against possible stronger holdings.

Board is paired and wet with 3h-5s-Jc-4c; my Kd-Jd has a pair of jacks but is vulnerable to straights and two pairs. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have a modest pair with a strong flush draw, but the pot is multiway and I’m not last to act. I’ll take the free card rather than build the pot with a vulnerable made hand.

I only have bottom pair with a weak kicker; no need to bloat the pot against two live hands, just take a free card to showdown.

The board paired on the river with Js, giving me a strong Jd kicker high hand. Since all players checked through on the flop and turn, I will check behind to realize my equity without risking more chips.

I have a modest two pair, but many pocket pairs and Jx hands beat it, and a river bet is unlikely to get called by enough worse hands. I’ll take the showdown value and check.

I have two pair (jacks and threes) with an ace kicker on a checked-down board; betting for value since opponents likely have weaker holdings.

I hold Kd-Jd which missed the board; calling 400 into a 1300 pot is a reasonable river call with some showdown value and implied odds if the opponent is bluffing. Folding would be too weak given the pot odds.

The river bet is small relative to the pot, and my two pair (jacks and fives) with a king kicker is a credible bluff-catcher against thin value bets and bluffs. I need about 19% equity to call, so I’ll pay to see both hands despite the caller making this less comfortable.
