Hold'em table

Pocket jacks on the button are a strong open in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to a standard 2.5bb for value.

84 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; folding saves chips for better spots.

6h 8d is a weak offsuit hand with no playability. Seat 1 opened to 250 and seat 2 folded, so I'm out of position and facing a raise with no fold equity or equity to continue.

32 offsuit is the worst starting hand and I am facing a full big blind with no equity justification to continue.

6c8h is a weak offsuit hand with no pair and poor postflop playability. Facing a 50bb open from the small blind with seat_1 already showing strength, folding minimizes losses with this marginal holding.

On the button with As7h, I'm folding to the 100bb big blind. The pot odds don't justify calling with this weak suited hand, and I'd rather preserve my stack for better spots.

Blind vs blind with a playable suited-connector-type hand; raising to 3bb applies pressure and takes the initiative rather than limping out of position.

82o is far too weak to continue against a preflop raise, even heads-up from the big blind. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a hand that plays poorly.

A3o on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open; raising to 2.5bb applies pressure to the blinds and the ace blocks their strong hands.

74s is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, so folding preserves chips.

I have a pocket pair of nines, which is a solid hand to call with in position. The pot odds are favorable, and I want to keep the pot manageable while seeing a flop.

I have a set of nines on a 3-6-9 flop, which is a strong hand. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff from the button, while avoiding building a big pot with a vulnerable hand.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker in position on a 3-6-9 two-tone board versus a BB check; a small c-bet gets value from worse, denies equity, and folds out overcards. Seat_3's chat about nines is unreliable.

I have a set of nines on a 3-6-9 board, which is a strong hand. Calling the 180 bet keeps the pot manageable and avoids scaring away potential value from the button.

Board pairs on the turn with a 6h, giving me a set of nines that's well-disguised. Seat 1 bet small on the flop and I called; checking now keeps the pot controlled and may induce a bluff or allow me to control the final bet size. I have enough equity and stack to see the river cheaply.

Two pair with an ace kicker is ahead of many draws, weaker 3x hands, and overcards. A small bet gets thin value and denies equity while keeping the pot manageable if I'm behind a pocket pair or trips.

Seat 1 has bet 300 on the turn with a paired board; my 9c9h has a set of nines and strong equity. I'll raise to 600 (min-raise) to build the pot and charge any draws while protecting my hand.

Getting about 7:1 on a small check-raise, so a call is clearly profitable. My pair of threes with an ace kicker beats bluffs and draws and still has outs against a nine.

I have middle set on a paired board but face a strong turn raise and a river check from the button; checking back lets me control pot size and avoid being bluffed off my hand while still getting value if they bluff.

Our hand is 33 with 66 on board plus an ace kicker. That has showdown value against missed diamond draws, but it loses to any 9x or 6x that check-raised the turn. Betting gets called mostly by better hands, so checking back is best.

32 offsuit is the worst starting hand and I am first to act, so folding avoids paying a blind with no equity.

2s Tc is a weak offsuit hand that doesn't justify calling 50 into a 150 pot with only one opponent left. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

I have 8h9c on the button with no initiative and only a 150 pot. Calling 100 more with this weak holding is a -EV decision, so folding is the most disciplined play.

JJ is a strong value hand in the small blind against a single big blind, so I raise to 3bb for value and to deny the big blind a cheap flop.

Button folded, so this is blind versus blind and I have position postflop. Q7s is suited and playable enough to call a 3x small-blind raise getting 2:1.

Out of position with JJ on an ace-high dry board, a small c-bet gets value from weaker pairs and draws like wheel gutshots while denying equity, and keeps the pot small if the big blind holds an ace.

Q7s completely missed this ace-high flop with no pair, no draw, and little fold equity, so calling or bluffing a small c-bet is unprofitable.
