Hold'em table

K3 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-sized call in a 3-handed pot; folding is standard here to preserve chips for better spots.

J2o is a weak hand with little playability, and I'm out of position facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

6-3 offsuit is a weak hand and I'm out of position facing a raise from the button; folding avoids losing chips with poor equity.

AJo is strong heads-up versus the big blind after the button folded, so I raise to 3bb for value rather than just complete.

Heads-up pot with an ace-high hand; a 3-bet applies pressure and builds the pot with a hand that plays well against a single opponent's opening range.

AJo is strong enough to continue against a single 3-bet heads-up, and calling 600 into 1200 needs only about one-third equity. A 4-bet would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones, so I take the flop in position.

Ace-high with no pair or draw on a dry flop, out of position against the preflop 3-bettor. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity if they check back.

I have only ace-high but hold the preflop initiative on a dry board; a continuation bet applies pressure and can take down the pot against a checked range.

AJ suited is only ace-high with no pair or real draw on 2-T-8, and the preflop 3-bettor has continued for 900 into 1800. Calling 25% pot odds without equity or position is a clear fold.

J8o is a borderline but playable button open in three-handed play; a small raise takes the initiative and position against the blinds.

Calling 150 to see a flop with Tc-Jc in position is reasonable; the raiser's 2.5x raise is standard and doesn't warrant a fold or 3-bet without a stronger hand.

I have a decent open-ended straight draw with Tc-Jc on a 3d-8c-4s board, and checking allows me to control the pot size while keeping the option to bluff or value-bet later. Seat 3 already invested 250 preflop, so they may continue betting; checking lets me see how they act before committing more chips.

I have middle pair on a dry flop and the big blind checked, so a small c-bet gets value from worse and denies equity to overcards.

Calling keeps me in the hand with a backdoor flush draw and gutshot straight draw, allowing me to see the turn cheaply. Folding would be too weak, and raising would isolate me against a likely strong hand on this dry board.

Board is wet and dangerous with a flush draw on the turn; my Ten-Jack high is vulnerable, so I'll control the pot and avoid building a big bet that could get raised.

I have top pair with a jack kicker on a draw-heavy board, so I bet for value and to deny free cards to straights and flushes.

Seat 3's turn raise to 600 is a continuation bet on a disconnected board; my Tc-Jc backdoor straight draw and flush draw justify a call for pot odds, but I lack the strength to raise without more information.

The board is coordinated with a straight and flush possible, and I have a marginal Ten-high hand. Checking allows me to control the pot and potentially induce a bluff or take a free card if the opponent shows weakness.

I have second pair with a jack kicker on a three-spade river, so a thin value bet risks being called only by better hands. Checking realizes my showdown value against the opponent who called two streets.

AJ offsuit on the button is a strong raising hand heads-up-ish; raise to 250 to build pot and take initiative.

I hold J5o, a weak offsuit hand, and face a 200 chip call to continue against a raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack against a strong range.

83 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, especially out of position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

I have 2h5c which is a very weak hand. The pot odds don't justify calling 100 to win 150 with such a disconnected hand. Folding preserves my stack.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. A8o is strong enough to raise for initiative rather than limp.

Getting good pot odds heads-up with a live ace; calling is cheap and keeps me in position to see a flop.

Dry K-high flop and I am the preflop raiser, so a small c-bet pressures the big blind's many missed hands while keeping the price low with ace-high.

Bottom pair with a strong ace kicker facing a small flop bet at good pot odds; call to see next card.

Ace-high with no pair and no draw on a king-high board has little showdown value and poor bluff equity after the flop call. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids betting into a likely made hand or draw.

Weak bottom pair with ace kicker; no reason to bet into a checked pot, will control pot size and see river cheaply.

I have the wheel (A-2-3-4-5), losing only to a six. A half-pot-plus value bet targets king and pair calls while keeping the pot manageable if raised.

K2o is too weak to open even on the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.

9-4 offsuit is a weak hand heads-up against a big blind defense; folding avoids committing more chips with poor equity.
