Hold'em table

9-6 offsuit out of position post-flop with two players to act behind; folding is standard and cheap.

Blind versus blind with an Ace blocker; raising to 3bb to apply pressure and seize initiative.

Jack-ten suited is strong enough to continue in position against a small-blind raise after the button folds, and calling keeps the pot manageable while realizing equity.

I flopped top two pair on an ace-high board with flush draws, so betting half pot builds value against weaker aces and draws.

Jack-ten suited has no pair and no draw on an ace-high flop with two spades, so calling a 300 bet is unprofitable.

Q2o is too weak of a holding to open even from the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Jack-ten offsuit is strong enough to raise for initiative rather than just complete.

AJs is near the top of my range against a small blind open after the button folds; 3-betting builds the pot for value and applies fold equity while I'm out of position.

JTo is too weak and dominated to continue out of position against a big-blind three-bet; pot odds do not compensate for the reverse implied odds.

Q2o is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity hand out of position postflop.

Heads-up after the button folds, JTo is well above average and I'm getting a great price as the SB; raising for initiative and fold equity against the BB is more profitable than limping.

K8s has plenty of equity and plays well in position against a blind-versus-blind open.

Two-way pot heads-up; my J-high gutshot-ish backdoors aren't worth betting into the BB who called a raise. Check and evaluate.

I have king-high with no flush draw on an ace-high board, so taking a free turn card makes the most sense.

Opponent checked twice on an ace-high paired board, including a fallback check on the turn. A half-pot stab applies pressure to take down the pot.

My best hand is just the board's pair of fours with a jack kicker, so nearly any ace, nine, pair, or high-card bluff from seat_2 beats me. Calling 300 into 900 with almost no equity or draw is throwing chips away, so I fold.

On the button three-handed, 75o is marginal but a small open leverages fold equity and position; if called I can play accurately postflop or exit cheaply.

J6o is an easy fold from the small blind facing an open raise.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

74s is too weak to open profitably even from the button in a 3-handed game.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. A2o is weak but the price is only 50 into 150, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot.

I have the worst hand category (4-high offsuit) but a free check from the big blind against a single limper, with position postflop since the button folded. Raising 46o as a bluff has poor risk/reward, so I take the free flop.

Ace-high with a gutshot to the wheel on a paired dry board has some showdown value, so I check rather than fold or inflate the pot out of position.

I hold a pair of threes plus an open-ended straight draw (any 2 or 7) and I'm in position against a limper who checked. Checking realizes my equity risk-free and avoids bloating the pot with a vulnerable board-pair hand.

Ace-high has no pair or draw on a double-paired board, so checking is free and keeps showdown value against pure air. Betting is unlikely to fold better hands.

My fives-and-threes two pair only beats rare low-card hands since almost any 7+ kicker out-kicks my 6, so betting folds out the high-card hands that beat me; I also have 8 clean outs to the nut straight if called.

Board is double-paired, so A2 plays ace-kicker and only loses to boats or better. Calling 150 into 350 is well-priced against a stab that can easily be air or a chop.

I only play the board (two pair, king kicker) and cannot beat any hand that calls a bet, so there is no value in betting. Checking is free and realizes the chop against everything that does not have a full house or better.

83o is too weak to open first-in from the button against two live blinds; folding avoids a dominated spot.
