Hold'em table

8d Ks is a weak offsuit hand with no clear play on the button in a 3-handed pot where the blinds have already put in chips; folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Q2o has sufficient equity against the big blind's random hand to call 50 into a 150 pot, and raising would likely get called given the pot odds.

J6s is a marginal hand and the small blind has only completed, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop in position.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a wet board, so I bet to protect my hand and extract value from draws.

I have bottom pair plus a flush draw and position, so I raise for value and as a semi-bluff to build the pot with strong equity.

J5o is a weak hand and I'm facing a raise from the big blind. With no reads and poor equity, folding is the safest play to avoid investing more chips with a marginal holding.

Getting 3:1 pot odds to complete the small blind against a random big blind, so calling with 4c6s is cheap enough to see a flop despite the weak hand.

I have the option to check in the big blind with a weak hand, and there's no reason to invest more chips without a better holding.

With 4c6s on Ac5c9d, I have no pair and only weak backdoor straight/flush potential. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids risking chips out of position with a marginal hand.

I have a weak Ten-Eight on a 5c-Ac-9d board with no made hand and no draw. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids putting chips in with a marginal holding against an unknown opponent.

My hand has no pair or strong draw on a paired ace-high board, and the pot is small. Checking controls the pot and avoids bluffing into an opponent who can call with many weak pairs or an ace.

Board is paired with a 9 and an Ace, and my Ten-high hand is weak; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal holding.

Board is paired with an Ace and two nines; my Ten-high is likely behind. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a weak hand.

Q8s on the button is strong enough to open for value and take initiative in a 3-handed pot. Raising to 300 applies pressure to the blinds and keeps position if called.

I hold 4c5c, a weak hand that does not justify calling a raise to 300 from the button. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong range.

I have a suited hand and am getting good pot odds to defend the big blind against the button's raise, so calling is profitable while avoiding unnecessary risk with a marginal hand.

We have a flush draw but no made hand, and we are out of position. Checking lets us see the turn for free while controlling pot size.

I have a flush draw plus an overcard on a paired board, and the big blind checked to me in position. A semi-bluff bet can take the pot down now or build it when I improve.

I have a flush draw and the pot odds justify calling 400, with good implied odds if the spade hits. Folding would be too weak with a strong draw in a 3-handed pot.

I have a pair of tens with a flush draw, so I bet for value and protection against draws. If raised, I can call with my draw and pair outs.

Td4s is a weak hand with no clear play on the button facing a raise and a call; folding preserves chips for better spots.

AhTh is a strong suited hand, so I raise to build the pot and put pressure on the big blind while keeping initiative.

K7o has sufficient equity to defend in position against a likely wide small blind raise, closing the action for 200 into a 400 pot.

I flopped top pair with a decent kicker and my opponent checked, so I will bet for value and protection against draws. A bet of 400 into 600 keeps worse hands calling while not overcommitting.

Button folded, so this is a heads-up SB vs BB spot. A5s is strong enough to raise for value and initiative, and 300 puts pressure on the BB without giving too good a price.

With 4d 9s, I have no playability against a 300 preflop raise and no position; folding minimizes losses.

KQo on the button is a strong 3-handed opening hand, so I raise for value and to take control preflop.

With only 4s Ts on the button facing a 300 raise, the hand is too weak to call or reraise; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Pocket fours are a good set-mining hand, and I only need to call 200 into a pot of 450 with deep stacks, so the implied odds justify a call.

Continuation bet with two overcards on a low board; opponent checked, so take initiative and deny a free card.
