Hold'em table

Button folded, so it's effectively a blind battle; K9o is strong enough to raise for initiative and fold out weak BB hands.

Kd7s is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position. Seat 2 raised to 200 and I only have king-high; folding avoids losing chips with poor equity.

With 54s on the button, raising applies pressure and takes initiative with position. A standard 3x raise can steal the blinds or isolate weaker hands.

9d Ah is a weak offsuit hand with no playability. Facing a raise to 300 with only 250 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this speculative hand.

I have a pocket pair of Tens on the button, which is a strong preflop position. Raising to 300 builds the pot with a good hand and puts pressure on the blinds.

Q3s is suited and getting a reasonable price to call the small blind against a button open, so I'll see a flop rather than fold or inflate the pot with a marginal hand.

Closing the action with 200 to call into a 700 pot gives strong pot odds, and A4o has enough equity against a button open and small-blind flat to see a flop.

Bottom pair with a queen kicker is a marginal hand in a multiway pot, so checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser act out of position.

Ace-high with no pair or draw in a multiway pot; checking keeps the pot small and allows us to see a free turn or fold to later aggression.

I have a strong top pair with a suited kicker on a dry flop, but the pot is small and both opponents checked. Checking back keeps the pot manageable and lets me realize equity without building a big pot with marginal strength.

I have bottom pair plus a club flush draw, so I can lead the turn to put pressure on the rest of the field while still having good equity if called.

Ace-high with no pair or strong draw on a coordinated board; facing a turn bet, the pot odds are insufficient to continue.

I have a pair of tens on a dry board with no flush draws, and calling keeps my stack intact while denying the aggressor a free showdown. Folding would waste my preflop investment, and a raise risks too much without a strong read.

I have trips on the river, so I bet for value against likely two-pair or weaker hands.

I have a pair of threes with a ten kicker on a paired board; calling 700 into a 2600 pot is a reasonable river decision given the opponent's large raise and my remaining stack.

K8s suited is strong enough to raise from the button, so I'll apply pressure on the blinds while keeping position.

63o is the bottom of my range and I'd be calling 200 out of position with the big blind still to act behind; the small blind is already a sunk cost, so folding is clearly best.

I have 2s3h, a very weak hand. Facing a raise to 250 with only 150 to call, I'm getting 2:1 odds but my hand is too weak to continue preflop. Folding preserves my stack.

With K2o on the button in a 3-handed game, I'll limp to see a cheap flop in position. Raising with such a weak hand risks building a large pot with a marginal holding.

3s 5h is a weak hand with no straight draw and low equity. Facing a raise to 100 with only 50 to call, I'm getting 3:1 pot odds but the hand is unlikely to improve enough to justify continuing.

QTo is strong enough to raise against a button limp, and a small raise can take the pot now or build value while keeping the cost low.

Closing the action with 3.5:1 pot odds and position, K2o is weak but profitable to call against a likely wide BB raise; 3-betting would bloat the pot with a dominated hand.

I raised preflop and can represent an Ace on this board; a half-pot continuation bet pressures my opponent and wins the pot if they missed.

My hand is K-high with no pair or draw on an Ace-high flop, and the big blind's flop bet represents strength after raising preflop. Calling 250 with essentially no equity is not profitable.

I have a pocket pair of nines on the button with the blinds out of position, so calling the big blind is a low-risk way to see a flop and potentially hit a set without overcommitting preflop.

I'm the big blind with K2o and the button just called; checking is free and keeps the pot small with a weak offsuit hand.

With king-high and no strong draw on a coordinated flop, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating with a weak hand out of position.

I have a pocket pair of nines with a ten on the board, giving me a set of tens. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff from the button while keeping my hand concealed.

I have a weak pair of 2s with a K kicker. The opponent checked the flop, and the pot is small. Checking controls the pot and avoids building a large pot with a marginal hand.

I have a pair of nines on a dry turn with no flush or straight draws. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a cheap river without committing more chips.

I have two pair (kings and twos) on the river and both opponents have shown no strength, so I bet for value. A modest 150 into 250 should get called by weaker pairs while limiting risk.
