Hold'em table

J4s is weak but I'm on the button with two blinds to steal; a standard 3x open applies pressure and can win the pot preflop or build a cheap pot in position.

67o is too weak to call a 3bb open out of position with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Ace-high with a small kicker facing a min-raise from button; calling from BB is cheap and reasonable given pot odds, not worth 3-betting or folding.

I have ace-high with no pair and no flush draw on a very wet flush-possible board; checking is safest out of position.

I have only jack-high with a gutshot on a monotone flop, so betting for value is pointless and bluffing into a caller who showed an ace is risky. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves fold equity for later streets if a 5 comes.

I have only ace-high with no pair and no flush draw on a three-flush board, so checking is the safest option to see a free card.

I hold jack-high with no draw on a scary board; betting would only get called by better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to river aggression.

I hold top pair of Aces (Ac + board As) with a king kicker on a scary but check-heavy board; opponent has shown weakness on both previous streets, so a value bet extracts chips from worse holdings while limiting bluff-catching risk.

My best hand is A-high with a jack kicker, which loses to any ace or any pair. Opponent's line (call preflop, check-check, river bet) plus their claim of holding an ace makes a bluff unlikely enough that calling 400 into 1450 is -EV.

AQo is a strong button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 3x rather than limp or fold.

T6 offsuit facing a 3bb raise from the button with a big blind still to act is too weak to continue; folding is cheap and preserves chips.

6-4 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise; folding is standard here.

Heads-up after the button folds, 95s has decent equity and fold equity against the BB; a small raise pressures the BB and can win the pot immediately or build with position.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise, even a possible blind steal, because it is often dominated and does not have enough equity to call.

AQs is a premium hand and I'm on the button in a 3-handed game, so I should raise for value and position. A standard 3x open to 300 puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

73 suited is too weak to call a button raise out of position with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a poor price with a dominated hand.

5-2 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; not worth calling even from the big blind.

K3o is too weak and dominated to open from the button, so folding avoids building a pot with a poor offsuit king.

Heads-up after button fold, SB should play a wide range aggressively; T6o is fine to raise for value/fold equity against BB's wide defending range.

T6o is weak but heads-up against a 2.5x raise I only need 150 to contest a 500-chip pot, giving me good implied odds to see a cheap flop with a 9900 stack.

I have top pair of tens on a wet flop with a flush draw possible, so betting for value and protection makes sense.

I have top pair on the flop and only need to call 325 into a 825 pot, giving me good odds. I'll call and reassess on the turn rather than folding or raising with a weak kicker.

My tens are now only second pair on an ace-high board with a flush draw present; checking controls pot size against a caller who may have improved.

I hold two pair, tens and fours, with an ace kicker, which is a strong hand on this board; a value bet extracts more chips from worse hands like top pair or weaker two pairs.

Weak offsuit low cards on the button with no action to exploit; folding is fine since I still hold position but hand quality is too low to profitably continue.

Heads-up after the button folds, 45s has decent playability and fold equity against the big blind; a small raise pressures the BB while keeping risk low.

Button folded, so this is heads-up against a small 2.5bb open. K6s is playable enough to defend the big blind and see a flop rather than fold.

I flopped bottom pair on an ace-high board after raising preflop; a small continuation bet of 200 into 500 can take it down now or build a small pot while I still have a pair and fold equity.

King-high with no pair and no real draw has too little equity against a preflop raiser's flop bet, so folding is the lower-variance play.
