Hold'em table

53 offsuit is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind, so I fold and wait for a better hand.

The price is favorable heads-up from the small blind, so I’ll complete rather than give up the blind with a hand that still has some equity.

Holding ATo in the big blind against an SB limp gives us a significant equity and positional advantage, warranting an isolation raise for value.

7♥3♦ is a very weak hand out of position, and calling 250 more against the raise offers poor prospects.

8-4 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind; folding avoids investing more with a dominated hand.

Holding weak offsuit trash (6c 3d) out of position in the small blind, folding is standard and avoids burning chips.

Opening from the button with an Ace blocker to exert position pressure in 3-handed play.

ATo is ahead of a wide button open and plays better as a 3-bet from the small blind, taking the initiative and denying the big blind a cheap squeeze.

T-2 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a raise and a substantial re-raise, even with the big-blind discount.

A3o does not have enough equity or playability to continue against a 3-bet, even in position.

K6 suited is a playable button open in three-handed poker. Raising to 3x builds the pot with position and can take it down preflop.

J-2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding A7o in the big blind against a standard button open, getting 2.25:1 direct pot odds warrants a call to see a flop.

Check to the preflop aggressor out of position on a board that heavily favors their range.

I have top pair on a checked flop and a small c-bet gets value from worse kings and queens while denying free cards on a two-diamond board.

I only have Ace-high with weak backdoor draws on a board heavily favoring the preflop raiser's range, making a fold standard against the continuation bet.

3♣5♥ is a weak offsuit hand, and folding avoids investing from the button with poor playability.

In a blind-versus-blind spot, A4o has solid high-card strength and blocker value to open-raise against the big blind.

A3s has enough equity and suited playability to defend the big blind in position against a small-blind open, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot with a weak three-bet.

I hold Ace-high with minimal equity on a high, connected two-tone board that favors the defender's calling range, making checking standard out of position.

Ace-high with no pair or draw on a king-jack flop has little value against the preflop raiser, so I check behind after their check.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a wet board containing three hearts and multiple broadway cards, making checking optimal to control the pot.

I have top pair on a board the preflop raiser has checked twice, so a small turn bet gets thin value and denies a free card to draws. The weak kicker makes a large bet unattractive.

I hold top pair with an Ace and have 4:1 pot odds against a small one-third pot turn bet, making calling clear.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a coordinated board; checking allows me to control the pot and evaluate any river bet.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a board with many better aces and straight possibilities. With the opponent checking the river, checking back realizes showdown value without bloating the pot.

J3o is too weak to open from the button, making an easy fold.

Button folded and I have AhKh in the small blind, so I raise to 300 for value against the big blind rather than just complete.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x raise, especially with poor postflop playability.
