Hold'em table

On the button with 9s7s, this is a standard open steal in 3-handed play. Raising to 3bb pressures the blinds and builds a pot with a playable suited connector.

8-3 offsuit is one of the weakest starting hands, and calling 250 more out of position against a button raise with a big blind still to act is a losing play. Folding costs only the 50 already posted.

Q2o on the button in a 3-handed game is weak and dominated by many holdings. Calling 100 into a 150 pot is not worth it out of position against two players still to act, so I fold.

3-6 offsuit is a weak hand facing a call against BB with no fold equity benefit; folding preserves chips.

3-7 offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing a raise-sized pot.

J4o is a weak hand out of position against the big blind, and calling or raising would likely lose chips over time.

J3o is a trash hand even 3-handed, and with both blinds having deep stacks, raising to steal is unlikely to succeed often enough to be profitable.

K8o in the small blind, heads-up against the big blind after the button folded. Completing costs only 50 more for a good price, and the hand has decent playability, so I call rather than fold or build a big pot out of position.

AT offsuit is a solid hand to raise for value against a single limper, building the pot while I have position advantage post-flop range edge.

K8o is a marginal hand, but I'm getting 500 to 300 (about 1.7:1) against a BB raise to 4x in a 3-handed game where ranges are wide. I'll call and see a flop, though I'll be out of position.}

Holding K-high on a paired 5-5-J board out of position against a preflop raiser. The hand is marginal, so I check and control the pot size rather than bluff into a likely continuation bet.

Paired dry board favors my preflop raising range; a half-pot c-bet likely takes it down against a check, and I can fold to resistance.

K-high on a 5-5-J board is a marginal hand. Seat 3's 400 bet into 800 is a modest continuation bet that could be a bluff, so calling at decent pot odds keeps my range wide and lets me see a turn rather than folding a hand with some showdown value.}

Holding only king-high on a paired board (5h 5d Jd 6c) against a opponent who raised preflop and bet the flop, I have little showdown value and no good reason to bet, so I check and see how the hand develops.

I have ace-high with no pair or draw on a paired board; checking controls pot size and avoids bluffing into a possible made hand.

King-high on a paired board with an ace is mostly a showdown-value hand. Seat_3 checked the turn after betting the flop, which gives mixed signals, so I'll check rather than bet worse hands that fold and better hands that call.

I have two pair (aces and fives) with a decent kicker on a dry river; betting extracts value from worse hands like a jack or smaller two pair.

Kc high with a pair on board (5s) is weak, but the pot offers 2500 to 900 (about 2.8:1), so calling needs only ~26% equity. Seat 3 bet the flop and river but checked the turn, so a bluff or a thin value bet are both plausible, and my K kicker beats many missed draws and bluffs. I call, since folding gives up too often against a range with many bluffs.

QJo on the button in a 3-handed pot is a reasonable hand. Calling 100 to win a 250 pot gives a good price and keeps the pot small out of position against the blinds' ranges.

Cheap price to see a flop from the small blind in a limped pot with a speculative hand.

With 9s 5c, a weak offsuit hand, checking allows me to see a free flop without risking additional chips.

No pair, no real draw (only 6d9c on an Ace-high board), so I check behind cheaply and reassess on later streets.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker on an ace-high board. Betting would likely only get called by better hands, so checking to see a free turn is the best play.

On the button in position after two checks, I have a gutshot straight draw (K needed) plus two overcards to the 5 and Ten. A small bet of half the pot or less can take the pot now or build equity with outs when called.</br>

6-9 on A-T-5 missed completely with no equity; facing a bet, folding is best.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker on a board with an Ace and two diamonds. Seat 2's raise after two checks suggests strength, and calling would leave me drawing thin. Folding preserves my stack.

J7 offsuit is weak from the button facing a raise-call dynamic; folding preserves chips for better spots.

9d 6c is too weak to play out of position heads-up; folding and losing only the small blind is better than investing more with a poor holding.
