Hold'em table

94o is a very weak unsuited hand with poor playability, making it a clear fold from the button.

Calling 50 more with 9-7 offsuit is reasonable heads-up, while raising would build a larger pot out of position with a marginal hand.

Jack-ten suited is a strong hand in a three-handed pot. The small blind only limped, so raising for value in position-less spots builds the pot while I have a range advantage.

97 offsuit is too weak to call a 4bb raise out of position.

Eight-seven offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A 2.5 big blind raise uses position without committing too much.

6-high jack offsuit (J6o) is weak; out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act, so calling 200 more isn't worth it.

Getting 2.7 to 1 on a call closing the action preflop against a button open; T7s has sufficient playability and equity to defend.

I flopped top pair on a monotone board without a heart, making a check out of position the most standard and pot-controlling play.

Middle pair has showdown value but is vulnerable to overcards and hearts. A small bet offers protection without building a large pot.

Flopping top pair on a monotone board against a small one-third pot continuation bet offers good pot odds to call one street.

The board now has four hearts and we have second pair with no heart, so checking to see villain's action is standard.

With a weak pair and no heart on a four-heart board, betting risks getting called by better hands. Checking keeps the pot manageable.

The board has five hearts and we do not hold any hearts. Checking allows us to safely take a showdown and split the pot if the opponent also holds no hearts, while losing nothing further if they hold a heart.

The board gives me a king-high flush, but any heart in my opponent’s hand beats it. Checking avoids risking chips with no heart of my own and may reach a split pot.

J9 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is playable. Calling 100 to win a pot of 250 gives good odds and I have position, so I call rather than fold or raise.

Holding 42 offsuit out of position is an easy fold even getting 5:1 odds against a limp.

A3 offsuit is ahead of many button limps, and the folded small blind adds dead money to the pot. A moderate raise seeks value without committing too much out of position.

J9 offsuit on the button facing a 4x big blind raise from the big blind needs to call 300 to win 850 with no initiative and a weak, dominated hand, so folding is the disciplined choice.

K7s is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play to apply pressure and play in position.

Six-five offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

J4 offsuit is weak and would be out of position against a button open. Calling 150 to win 400 is tempting on price, but the hand plays poorly postflop, so I fold.

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two live blinds.

Q7o is a reasonable hand heads-up from the small blind, and completing costs only 50 to win a 200 pot (getting 3-to-1). A raise is marginal, so I'll call and see a flop.

We have T3 suited in the big blind facing a limp from the small blind; checking to see a free flop in position is optimal.

Queen-high on a dry, low board is likely best against a BB that checked preflop and has a wide range. A minimum bet is a cheap way to get value from worse hands and take the pot uncontested while I'm first to act.

I flopped two pair in a limped blind-versus-blind pot; raising for value against one-pair hands and straight draws.

Queen-high with no draw on a 2-T-3 board is weak. I already bet 100 and now face a 350 raise (250 more into a 650 pot) from the big blind, who checked preflop and is likely to have a real hand. Folding is the disciplined choice.

A7 suited (ace-high with a suited kicker) on the button in a 3-handed pot is a solid open. Raising to 3bb takes the initiative and puts pressure on both blinds.

Holding nine-deuce suited in the small blind facing a button open is an easy standard fold.

Six-five offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a three-big-blind button raise.
