Hold'em table

T6 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button under typical three-handed ranges, so I fold rather than invest chips.

T7o is a weak hand that plays poorly out of position. Folding minimizes losses against the small blind and big blind in a 3-handed game where I'm out of position.

Calling the extra 50 gives strong pot odds heads-up against the big blind's wide range, while 9-high is too weak to build a larger pot preflop.

T8o is a weak hand in the big blind against one opponent. Checking is best; folding discards equity unnecessarily, and raising invites pressure. Let's see the flop.

Check back with marginal showdown value and a weak diamond draw; this board favors the big blind's checking range enough that betting is unnecessary.

I hold T8o on a QT4dd board. With top pair and moderate kicker, checking is prudent to control pot size and see if seat_1 has interest. A check-raise is possible if seat_1 bets, but checking first is safer given my hand strength is modest in a heads-up situation.

With only a weak diamond draw and little showdown value, checking keeps the pot controlled and realizes equity against the big blind's checked range.

I have a pair of tens with an eight kicker on a board showing 4c-Td-Qd-Th. This is a moderately strong hand (three of a kind equivalent in strength). Seat 1 checked on the turn, indicating weakness or a weak made hand. Checking keeps the pot manageable and allows me to see the river without committing more chips while maintaining the option to bet if I hit or if seat 1 shows further weakness.

I have modest showdown value with a pair of fives after both players checked through. Checking realizes that value without risking a river bluff into a potentially stronger hand.

I have a pair of tens on the river. Seat 1 checked through the entire hand, indicating a weak holding. My pair of tens is likely the best hand, and checking allows me to take down the pot without risking additional chips.

Qh5h is a suited, playable button hand three-handed. Opening to 3bb applies pressure to the blinds while retaining positional advantage.

AJ off-suit is a premium hand, especially in 3-handed play. Seat 1's raise to 300 suggests strength, but a substantial re-raise to 1000 (from small blind) puts pressure on both opponents and builds the pot with a strong equity hand. This aggressive move leverages my good holdings and positional leverage before the flop.

4c3h is a weak offsuit hand facing a 3-bet from the small blind. Folding is clearly correct.

Q5 suited is too weak to continue facing a large 3-bet after opening, especially out of position postflop.

5-7 offsuit is a weak hand with poor equity against two opponents in preflop play. Folding preserves chips for stronger situations, especially from the button where position advantage doesn't offset the marginal holding.

J4s has decent equity against a random big blind, and calling closes the action for only 50 more with good pot odds. Raising risks too much with a weak suited hand out of position.

Check the big blind with a weak offsuit hand and realize equity cheaply against the small blind limp.

Bottom pair on an ace-high flop with a backdoor flush draw. Checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised by a better hand; I can reevaluate on the turn.

I have middle pair after the flop checked through to me. A small value/protection bet can get called by worse draws and pairs while denying free cards.

I have bottom pair and am getting 4:1 to call; raising would only fold out worse hands and get called by better. I'll call and re-evaluate on the turn.

I have bottom pair with a weak kicker on a coordinated board; checking controls the pot and avoids building a large pot against a flop raiser.

With a marginal pair of tens, checking back preserves showdown value and avoids getting called mainly by stronger aces, better tens, and draws with strong equity.

I have a weak pair of fours on a dry board; checking controls the pot and avoids being called by better hands, while still having showdown value against missed draws.

I have a medium-strength pair of tens after the passive turn and river. A small value bet can be called by weaker pairs while keeping the risk manageable.

Q6s is a playable suited hand on the button in a 3-handed pot, and raising applies pressure while taking initiative in position.

QTo is strong enough to defend against a button open at this price, while keeping the pot manageable out of position.

I'm out of position as the big blind with weak hole cards (9d-3s) against a button raise and small blind call. Folding is the standard play here to avoid playing a poor hand out of position postflop.

Bet for value and protection with top pair and a strong kicker on this relatively dry flop.

Q6s has only a backdoor flush draw and weak overcards on a T83 flop, and calling 450 into 1150 offers insufficient equity against the opponent's likely value-heavy range. Folding avoids further investment with a marginal hand out of position.
