Hold'em table

T9s on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative and plays well in position postflop.

J3 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

Q6 suited is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise to 2.5bb after the small blind folds. Folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

7-4 suited is too weak to open in this short-handed spot and does not justify entering against both blinds.

Button folded, so Q2s is worth completing for 50 more to see a flop heads-up rather than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Button folded, small blind limped; 67o is a marginal hand that plays fine in position for free, so check and see a flop rather than bloat the pot out of position-neutral spot.

Queen-high with no pair and no draw has little equity on this flop, and the pot is small after the big blind checked. Checking back avoids bloating the pot with a weak hand.

Open-ended straight draw heads-up in a limped pot after SB checks; semi-bluff bet takes it down often and keeps strong equity when called.

Queen-high with no pair or draw is too weak to continue against a flop bet, so folding is the highest-EV line.

78 offsuit is too weak to open from the button and calling does not close the action, so folding preserves chips.

Button folded, so I'm heads-up vs the big blind with Q6o from the small blind; a raise to 3bb picks up the blinds often and Q6o is a standard open in SB vs BB blind-vs-blind.

With 5-3 offsuit facing a small-blind raise heads-up, the hand is too weak to defend profitably.

T3 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is too weak to open profitably against two players still to act; folding preserves chips.

With heads-up blind versus blind action and a very small price, 8-6 suited has sufficient equity to complete and see a flop.

84 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free after the small blind completes.

A small continuation bet can fold out the opponent's unpaired holdings on this paired, ace-high board while risking little.

I have 84 offsuit with no pair or draw on a king-king-ace board, so calling or raising a flop bet is burning chips.

7-5 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button in this spot.

Pocket eights are ahead of a random big-blind range heads-up after the button folds, so I raise to build the pot and take the initiative rather than just complete.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a small-blind 3x open; calling 200 into 400 with poor playability is a losing proposition, so fold.

5-3 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves the stack.

Button folded, so it's heads-up vs the BB with position disadvantage but a wide range; J4o is marginal but a small raise takes the pot often enough blind-vs-blind. Raise to 3x to pressure BB.

7c3c is too weak to defend against a small-blind raise, even with the favorable price.
