Hold'em table

4-2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably against two unknown opponents.

Q5o is too weak to complete or raise profitably out of position against the big blind.

62o is an unplayable trash hand preflop even on the button, making folding the standard and highest EV play.

With 8-5 offsuit out of position in a heads-up pot and only the big blind left, continuing is marginal. Folding avoids investing more chips with a weak hand.

QQ on the button in a 3-handed game is a premium made hand; raising to 300 builds the pot and isolates while getting value from worse pairs and overcards.

Ace-king is strong enough to three-bet against a button open. Raising to 1200 pressures the opener and avoids inviting the big blind into a cheap multiway pot.

Folding 6-2 offsuit facing an open raise and a 3-bet.

QQ is a premium hand in a 3-handed pot, and the small blind's 3-bet range can be wide. I will 4-bet for value and to take control of the pot.

A-K is strong against a button opening range. Shoving puts pressure on weaker four-bets while retaining substantial equity when called.

QQ is near the top of my range and I am getting better than 2:1 pot odds (7,000 to call into 13,100), so calling is profitable against a shove range that includes AK and JJ+.

On the button, 7-4 suited is a marginal but playable open with position and no rake. A 2.5-big-blind raise keeps the risk modest.

Holding 5s 2c out of position facing a button raise is an easy standard fold.

Q6o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, and folding avoids playing a dominated hand for 150 more chips.

K2o is too weak to open from the button even 3-handed, offering poor playability postflop.

Getting 3:1 pot odds to call for 50 more with 9d5h; I prefer a cheap flop and can fold if the big blind raises.

Q-T suited plays well heads-up against a small-blind limp. Raising for value and initiative is better than giving a free flop.

Q3o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and as first to act preflop in a 3-handed game I prefer to avoid investing chips with a dominated holding.

The button folded, so I’m heads-up with the big blind. Completing for 50 chips is inexpensive enough to see a flop, despite my weak hand.

I hold T3s in the big blind facing an SB limp. Checking gives me a free look at the flop in position.

I have little showdown value and no strong draw on this paired flop, so I’ll check rather than build the pot out of position.

Check back with ten-high and backdoor flush equity to see a free turn card.

Eight-high has no meaningful draw, and this turn offers little reason to build the pot out of position. Checking avoids risking chips on a bluff with poor blockers.

I have Ten-high with a gutshot to the wheel on a paired board; checking behind takes a free card and controls the pot.

Eight-high is unlikely to win at showdown. After two streets of checks, a half-pot bluff can take down the pot without risking much.

I paired my ten on the river on a checked-down limped pot. Getting 3-to-1 pot odds against a single 100-chip river bet, top pair is easily good enough to call.
