Hold'em table

A9s is a strong suited ace on the button in 3-handed play; raising for value and position with a standard 3x open.

J6 offsuit is weak against a raise with a player still to act behind; not worth continuing.

34o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise to 300. Folding avoids paying 200 more with a hand that is dominated by a typical opening range.

A6 suited on the button is a strong steal hand in 3-handed play; raising to isolate the blinds.

74s is too weak to continue out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a speculative call with poor equity and reverse implied odds.

A7o in the big blind gets a good price (150 into 400) against a small button raise, and the ace-high kicker gives decent equity against a wide button range. Calling is better than folding, and 3-betting this weak ace out of position is risky.

I hold only ace-high on a coordinated board against a preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate their continuation bet before committing chips.

I have middle pair with top kicker (6s pairing the board, Ace kicker) on a dry board; betting for value and protection against a checking opponent.

Cheap 300 call into an 850 pot with ace-high and one overcard; I can fold cheaply if the turn bricks and my ace may still be good. Raising as a pure bluff with no draw is too thin against a preflop raiser.

I only hold the board's pair of sixes with an ace kicker, which loses to most of villain's continuation-bet range (overpairs, 9x, or a six). Checking keeps the pot small and lets me reassess on the river as a bluff-catcher.

I hold trip sixes with an ace kicker, a very strong hand on this paired board, so I should bet for value against a checking opponent.

J2o is too weak to open even on the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.

Queen-high is strong heads-up against only the big blind, and a small raise builds pressure while retaining fold equity. I can fold cheaply if he three-bets.

AKs is a premium hand heads-up against a min-ish raise; 3-betting builds the pot and can isolate/get value or take it down preflop.

Q5o is far too weak to call a 3-bet facing 650 more into a 1150 pot; folding preserves chips for better spots.

4-2 offsuit is the weakest hand in hold'em and I'm out of position postflop even from the button in a 3-max game. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Cheap call heads-up against BB with a live but weak hand; button already folded.

32 suited is too weak to raise for value, and with the button already folded I can see a free flop heads-up against the small blind.

I only have bottom pair with a weak kicker; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free card.

Bottom pair with a deuce kicker is too weak to bet into a limped pot after the small blind checks. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes showdown value.

I have queen high with no pair or draw on a board with three clubs; checking is free and avoids building a pot with a weak hand.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker and no club, so there is little value in betting into a three-club board after seat_2 checked. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves a cheap showdown.

Weak pair of sevens with no showdown value to bet; checking to see cards cheaply.

I have bottom pair on a three-club board with a king, and the pot was checked down. Checking realizes showdown value without bloating a scary board.

A5 suited is a strong button hand in a 3-handed game; raising to isolate and build pot with position.

Pocket queens are well ahead of a button open, so I 3-bet to build the pot and deny equity before the big blind acts.

A2s is badly dominated against two aggressive preflop raises; calling 900 requires roughly 39% equity, which this weak ace won't realize given its poor kicker and reverse implied odds.

A5 suited has decent equity and I have position on the SB after this 3-bet, so a call is reasonable given the pot odds and implied odds, even though I'd fold to further aggression.

Pocket queens are an overpair on a low flop, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge club draws and overcards.

Facing a big flop bet after being 3-bet preflop, my A5 with only a backdoor flush draw lacks sufficient equity to continue against a likely strong range.

63s is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than flat a weak suited hand.

7h5h is too weak to call 200 more out of position against a button raise; folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginal suited connector without initiative.

Facing a raise with a weak offsuit hand (J8o) out of position, not worth continuing for 150 more.
