Hold'em table

K2s is a reasonable button open in 3-handed; raising takes initiative and can win the blinds.

A5s has enough equity and playability to call the button's open, and we're getting reasonable pot odds. Folding is too weak, and raising from the small blind with this hand is unnecessary.

Th-2h is a weak offsuit hand with no playability; calling 200 into a 700 pot with a 9700 stack is a -EV decision against a raise and a call. I'll fold and wait for better spots.

I have only ace-high with no real draw on this flop, so I check to see the turn cheaply and gauge the opponent's action.

I flopped top pair and the small blind checked to me; betting for value and protection against draws.

My hand is only ace-high with no real draw on this K-8-3 board, and I'm facing a sizable continuation bet out of position. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

J4o is too weak to continue from the button against two active blinds; calling gives poor equity and reverse implied odds. Folding saves chips for better spots.

I have Jh Ac, which is weak offsuit and dominated by the Ac in the big blind's range. The small blind posted 50 and I'm facing a call of 50 to continue, but the pot odds don't justify chasing with this hand, so folding is the correct play.

I have a pocket pair of sixes on the button with a 100 big blind stack. Calling the big blind keeps my options open for a cheap flop without risking too much preflop.

Pot odds are very favorable (50 to call into 250), and Q4o has enough equity to see a cheap flop; I can fold to a raise from the big blind.

I have a small pocket pair in the big blind with a free chance to see the flop, so checking preserves my stack and lets me try to hit a set or fold cheaply.

My hand has little equity on this K-high flop and no real draw, so I prefer to check and see a free turn rather than bluff into two opponents.

I flopped a set and should build the pot while the board is relatively dry. A 200-chip bet gets value from Kx and draws without overcommitting.

I have a pocket pair that can make a set, and the flop is dry. Raising to the minimum builds the pot when ahead and limits losses when I miss.

I have only queen-high with no pair or draw on a king-high flop, and I am facing a bet plus a raise. Folding avoids putting more chips in with very little equity.

93s is a weak, dominated hand with poor postflop playability. Folding to the big blind avoids unnecessary risk this early with no reads.

I have Qd9h, a weak offsuit hand with limited postflop potential. The small blind has already invested 50 chips and I only need to call 50 more, but with no information on the big blind's hand and a weak holding, folding minimizes losses in this marginal spot.

4s 9d is a weak offsuit hand with no clear play against two limpers; folding preserves my 100bb stack for better spots.
