Hold'em table

T3 offsuit is a weak hand on the button; folding is the standard profitable play.

AQ suited is a premium hand heads-up versus the big blind after the button folded. Raising to 300 builds the pot for value and denies a free flop.

9-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against the small blind's raise, especially out of position in the remaining heads-up pot.

On the button in a 3-handed game, J6o is worth opening despite its weak kicker due to position and steal equity against the blinds.

9-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still behind.

K5 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x raise with only one caller gone; folding is cheapest.

Button open with 98 offsuit is profitable at this shallow blind level; a 2.5bb raise applies pressure while retaining maneuverability.

Q9o has reasonable equity against a wide 3-handed button open, and calling 150 in the big blind offers a good price to defend.

With queen-high and no draw on a paired, club-flush board out of position, checking preserves equity and avoids bluffing into the preflop raiser's range.

I have trip eights with a useful kicker and club redraw. I bet for value against pocket pairs, draws, and weaker eights.

Q-high with no pair or draw on a paired, flush-draw flop facing a 400 bet; calling lacks the equity needed against the button's range.

AK offsuit is a premium hand heads-up versus the big blind after the button folded. Raising to 300 builds the pot and denies the big blind a cheap flop.

7-3 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a small-blind raise, with poor playability out of position.

On the button in a 3-handed game, Q4 suited is wide enough to open rather than limp or fold. A 2.5bb raise can steal the blinds and leaves me in position with a suited hand if called.

J6 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

Q3 offsuit is far behind a 2.5x raise heads-up; calling 150 more with a dominated hand has negative EV.

J5 offsuit is a weak button holding in a 3-handed game and is not worth entering with at this stack depth.

Suited connector 56s heads-up in position is worth completing the small blind to see a flop cheaply.

Q9o is ahead of a small-blind limp range and I will be in position heads-up, so raising isolates, builds value, and takes initiative rather than giving a free flop.

Suited connector 56s with 300 to call and 350 already in pot; good odds to see a flop and can win a big pot if I connect.

I flopped a straight (5-6-7-8), so I'll check to trap seat_2 into betting and maximize the pot.

In position with Q9 giving an open-ended straight draw on 7-6-8 plus an overcard, a half-pot semi-bluff against a limp-caller's check can win immediately and still has strong equity if called.

I hold an open-ended straight draw (4 or 9) with decent equity and good pot odds facing 400 into 1200; folding is too tight and raising without a made hand risks a big re-raise.

I hold 5d6d on 7s6h8cKd: second pair with a gutshot, but seat_2 has shown aggression twice. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river cheaply or fold to a bet.

I have a 5/T straight draw and the Kd turn is a credible barrel card for my preflop raising range after opponent checked twice. A half-pot bet can fold middle pairs while retaining outs if called.

I have a pair of sixes plus an open-ended straight draw (4 or 9 completes 4-8), giving plenty of equity against seat_2's turn bet at 800 into 2400.

I only hold a pair of sixes with weak kickers; seat_2 has fired every street and claims the king. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to a river bet.

Queen-high has some showdown value against missed straight draws, while opponent's flop and turn calls suggest a pair—likely with the king—that will call another barrel. Checking avoids bluffing off chips into that calling range.
