Hold'em table

9c2h is a very weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling or raising from the button risks chips without enough equity. Folding preserves the stack in this marginal spot.

Seat 1 folded, leaving a heads-up pot with me on the button holding JTs. Calling the 50 small blind is cheap and keeps the pot manageable while I see a flop with good playability.

I have a weak king with a suited deuce and no one has raised, so I can see a free flop from the big blind.

I have a backdoor straight draw with Js-Th on a J-Q-4 flop, but the pot is small and I'm out of position. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see a turn card cheaply.

K-high with only backdoor draws is too weak to bet here, so I take the free card and see the turn.

The board is dry and I have a backdoor straight draw with no made hand, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak holding.

Opponent checked twice, likely weak. I have a gutshot and overcard, so I'll bet to take the pot now.

I have a straight draw with Js-Th on a J-Q-4-6 board, so calling the 100 bet is reasonable to see the river without overcommitting. The opponent's small turn bet suggests a medium-strength hand, and I want to keep the pot controlled.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a paired board, but the opponent's turn raise and check on the river suggests weakness. Checking allows me to control the pot and potentially win at showdown without risking more chips.

I have Q7o on the button with a 100bb stack, facing a 100bb big blind raise. This hand is too weak to call or reraise profitably, so folding is the best play.

I'm getting 3:1 to call 50, and J3o has enough equity against a random big blind to see a flop; I'll keep the pot small out of position.

Raise to isolate the limper and take initiative; T8o is weak but heads-up with position, and the small blind's limping range is wide.

J3o is too weak to continue against a raise to 300 out of position, especially with no invested chips beyond the small blind call. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Q3 offsuit is too weak to invest chips with here, and calling would need roughly 40% equity three-way. Folding costs nothing.

KQo is strong heads-up after the button folds; raising to 300 applies pressure and builds the pot with an equity edge against the big blind's wide range.

Calling 200 with suited 6-7 in position is reasonable; I can see a flop cheaply and potentially play fit-or-fold if I don't improve.

C-bet half-pot on a dry paired board with two overcards to fold out BB's unpaired hands and take down the pot.

Seat 3 folded preflop, so it's heads-up. My 6s7s is weak on a 4-8-4 flop with a 300 bet to call. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong hand.

A5o is a reasonable button open in a 3-handed game; raising applies pressure and gives me position if called.

I have pocket Kings, a very strong hand. Seat 1 raised to 250 and I'm in the small blind. A min-raise to 400 is standard, but I'll make it 600 to build the pot and apply pressure.

I have a very weak hand (2-6 offsuit) and am facing a raise and reraise, so continuing would be costly with poor equity. Folding preserves my stack for a better spot.

A5o is too weak to continue against a small-blind 3-bet, even with position; calling 350 would often leave me dominated and out of position postflop relative to the raiser's stronger range.

I have K-J offsuit in the big blind position with a 100 chip call, which is a weak hand to defend. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Calling 50 offers good pot odds with a playable hand, and I avoid bloating the pot out of position against the big blind.

With 8d2h in the big blind and no call required, checking is best to see a free flop and avoid bloating the pot with a weak hand.

The big blind checked preflop, so their range is weak here. A small continuation bet can take the pot now, and my 9-8 has some backdoor equity if called.

I have 8-high with no pair or draw on a paired board, and calling 100 into 300 with minimal equity is not profitable.

K8o is strong enough to open from the button in a 3-handed game; raising to 3bb pressures the blinds and lets me play in position.

8c4d is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, so folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand.

I have a speculative suited connector in position and can see a flop cheaply; calling 200 to play against one opponent is better than folding or risking more with a marginal hand.

I have a weak 8-7 with no pair on a dry A-9-A flop, so I want to control the pot and avoid building a big bet with a dominated hand.

Board is paired Aces with a Ten kicker; my 8-7 is weak and vulnerable to overcards. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

My hand has no pair or draw on this paired board, and seat2 has shown weakness by checking both the flop and turn. I'll check to see the river for free and avoid building a pot with a weak holding.

Board is paired Aces with a Ten straight draw; my 8-7 has no made hand and is behind any pair. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bluff catcher with no outs.
