Hold'em table

94o is too weak to call or raise from the button preflop; folding avoids putting chips in with a dominated, disconnected hand.

In a heads-up blind-versus-blind spot after the button folded, A3o has good card removal and raw equity to open-raise for value and pressure.

2♦4♠ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling a 3× raise out of position risks losing more postflop despite the pot odds.

K5o is too weak to profitably open from the button in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

Completing for 50 gives favorable pot odds heads-up, and raising with a weak offsuit hand would create an unnecessarily large pot out of position.

T9o is playable but not strong enough to raise for value against a completed small blind. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes position postflop.

I have a weak bottom pair on a king-high flop, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building one with a vulnerable hand.

Limped pot and the small blind checked a dry king-high flop. With ten-high and no draw, a minimum stab risks little and can fold out weaker hands before showdown.

I have bottom pair, which is weak but may still be ahead of bluffs or draws. The 100-chip call is getting a reasonable price against this small bet.

I have only a weak pair of deuces and little reason to build the pot; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river.

Ten-nine has no pair and no draw on K-8-2-3, so checking back the turn avoids bloating a pot I am unlikely to win.

My pair of twos gives me some showdown value, but the paired board and the flop bet-call make a river value bet unlikely to be profitable. I’ll check and see the showdown.

Ten-high has no showdown value, but a river bluff into a flop caller on this paired board is unlikely to fold out a pair often enough to profit. Checking realizes the free showdown without spewing more chips.

K7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, and raising takes advantage of position and fold equity.

4-2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; folding saves chips.

Holding 53 offsuit out of position against a button open is an easy fold despite getting decent pot odds.

T7o is too weak and dominated to open from the button even three-handed; folding avoids a marginal spot with poor postflop playability.

In a blind versus blind situation, K2s has sufficient equity and playability to complete the small blind getting 3 to 1 pot odds.

A7 offsuit is strong heads-up against a limp, so I’ll raise for value and take the initiative while keeping the sizing modest.

K2s is too weak to call a 4x raise out of position against the big blind.

Holding 82o on the button is far too weak to open or call, making it a clear standard fold.

Calling costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot, and heads-up against the big blind my hand has enough equity to complete despite being weak and out of position.

Pocket sixes is ahead of a limp often enough to build the pot heads-up; a raise to 400 prices the small blind and takes the initiative.

2♦4♥ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling a 4× raise from the small blind would leave me out of position with poor odds.

7-2 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button, even with position; folding avoids investing into the blinds with a dominated hand.

Button folded, so this is heads-up with suited connectors. Completing the small blind keeps the price low and lets me realize equity postflop rather than bloating the pot out of position.

Holding ATo in the big blind against an SB limp, raising for value and to take initiative in position is standard.

89s has enough playability and equity against a single 4bb raise heads-up to continue. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position rather than bloating it with a light 3-bet.

I completely missed this flop with 8c9c and have no pair or draw, so there is no value in betting. Checking is free and keeps the pot small against the preflop raiser.

I flopped top pair with a decent kicker as the preflop aggressor in position, so I bet for value and protection against flush draws and straight draws.

8c9c completely missed Ah Jh 3d with no pair or draw, so calling a c-bet is unprofitable.
