Hold'em table

K7s is a reasonable button open in a 3-handed game, and raising applies pressure on the blinds while taking initiative with position.

67o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding preserves chips.

I hold 9d3s, a weak offsuit hand that is not strong enough to call a 3x raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

AJ is strong enough to raise from the button; I'll apply pressure and try to take the blinds or play in position.

I hold 9h8d, a weak suited connector with limited playability. Facing a raise to 300 with only 250 to call, the price is too steep and the hand lacks the strength to continue profitably.

72o is too weak to defend against a button raise, especially out of position, so folding is the clear choice.

I have Ts, a decent suited connector that can play well postflop. Calling 100 to see a flop is reasonable with 100bb effective stacks, and I want to keep the pot manageable while preserving my stack.

Getting 5:1 immediate pot odds with Qd4d suited, so completing the small blind is cheap and keeps a speculative hand in a 3-handed pot.

I have a weak offsuit hand with no equity advantage, so I take the free flop in the big blind rather than inflate the pot out of position.

With Q-high and only a backdoor flush draw on a paired king-high board, checking from the small blind is the safest way to control the pot and see a free turn card.

I have no made hand on a paired board, so I'll take the free card and avoid building a pot with 5-high.

Top pair on Kd-Ks-2h with Ts is vulnerable to overcards and sets; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have only queen-high with no real draw on a paired board and two opponents, so I prefer to check and see the river rather than risk chips as a multiway bluff.

The board is paired with two kings and a jack, and my Ten of spades is a marginal turn card. With no money invested on the turn and both opponents checking, checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak hand.

I have no made hand and the board is dangerous with paired kings and three spades, so betting would only get called by better hands. Checking is free and avoids losing more chips.

The board is a completed Broadway straight, and my Ts is a complete blank. With no showdown value and no threat to extract value, checking and hoping to split the pot is the only reasonable play.

With pocket sixes on the button in a 3-handed game, raising to isolate and take the initiative is optimal. It can win the blinds immediately or build a pot with a hand that has good set-mining potential.

J5s is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Seat 1 raised to 300 and seat 2 folded, leaving a 200 chip call. With Ad Qh on the button, I'll call to keep the pot manageable and see a flop rather than 3-betting a hand that plays better postflop.

I have a backdoor straight draw with Ad Qh on a 2c Js 6d board, but no pair. Since I can check and see a free card to potentially improve, and my opponent only has 300 invested, checking is the most cost-effective play to realize my equity without committing more chips on a weak flop.

I flopped a set of sixes on a dry board and should bet for value. A 500 bet into 650 builds the pot and targets Jx and draws.

I have a backdoor flush draw and gutshot with Ad Qh on 2c Js 6d. Calling 500 into a 1150 pot is reasonable to keep the button's range capped and see a cheap turn.

Board is disconnected and I have only Ace-high with backdoor flush potential; checking preserves my stack and lets me see a cheap river without committing more chips.

I flopped a set of sixes and the turn is safe enough; betting for value and protection against club draws is best. A 1200 bet builds the pot while keeping worse jacks and draws in.

Seat_1 has shown significant aggression across streets, but my Ad Qh is a marginal hand on this dry board. Calling keeps me in the pot without overcommitting on a turn raise that could be a bluff or a value bet with a strong hand.

I have a weak Ace-high with no pair or draw on a disconnected board, and the opponent has shown heavy aggression on every street. Checking is the safest play to realize equity without risking more chips on a bluff.

I have a set of sixes and the opponent checked the river, so I bet for value to get called by worse hands like top pair or two pair.

Seat 1 has shown extreme aggression on every street and is representing a very strong hand. My Ace-high with no pair is unlikely to win against their range, so folding minimizes losses.

With only King-high and no pair, calling the small blind's 50 or raising is too risky; folding preserves my stack for better spots.

I have Q-6 offsuit in the big blind position with no initiative, and calling 100 more chips with this weak hand is a negative expected value play. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Button folded, so this is heads-up SB vs BB. 57o has enough equity versus a random BB hand to complete for 50 chips, and I avoid building a big pot out of position with a marginal holding.

Q6o is a weak hand out of position, so I take the free flop and avoid bloating the pot.

I have two pair (sixes and threes) on a fairly dry board, so I can bet for value and protection against straight draws. A modest half-pot bet puts pressure on weaker hands while keeping the pot manageable.

I have 5-high with only a gutshot needing a 4, and facing a bet of 100 into 300, the pot odds are insufficient. Folding avoids overpaying with weak equity.
