Hold'em table

With 5s3s on the button facing a 100bb big blind raise, the hand is too weak to call or raise profitably preflop, so folding minimizes losses.

Button folded, so it's SB vs BB heads-up; Q2o is a marginal but playable hand in blind-vs-blind, and raising to 3x applies pressure and takes the pot down often against a wide BB range while retaining position disadvantage mitigation via initiative.

Defending 64s in position against a small blind raise getting 2:1 pot odds.

I raised preflop from the SB and the BB called; flop A-6-Q gives me second pair with a weak kicker. A continuation bet of about half pot on an ace-high board represents my range well, gets value from worse Qx/6x/flush draws, and keeps the pot manageable.

Facing a flop c-bet on an Ace-Queen heavy board with two clubs, bottom pair with a weak four kicker has poor equity and difficult playability across later streets.

J2 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is a weak, unconnected hand with reverse implied odds; folding is standard rather than opening or limping.

75o has poor playability and equity out of position, making it a clear fold from the small blind.

Holding premium suited connectors AKs on the button, raising to 2.5x to build the pot and take initiative.

I hold 5c Jh, a weak offsuit hand. Facing a raise to 250 from the button with only 50 invested, calling 200 more is too expensive for such poor equity. Folding preserves my stack.

Q4 offsuit is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button open; folding avoids playing a marginal hand OOP despite decent pot odds.

I have 4h 3c, a very weak hand with no pair and disconnected low cards. I am on the button facing a 100 chip call, and folding preserves my 10000 chip stack for better opportunities.

Button folded; Q9 suited is a clear raise from the small blind heads-up against the big blind, so I raise to 3bb for value and initiative.

Folding 96o in the big blind facing a 3bb open from the small blind as it lacks sufficient playability and equity.

T9 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear open-raise; it plays well postflop with position and has good equity against blind ranges.

76 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

I have a pocket pair of deuces, which is a marginal hand. Calling 150 to see a flop is reasonable, but I will not raise without more information.

I have a pocket pair of twos with a set on the flop, but I want to control the pot size and keep the opponent's bluffs in. Checking allows me to potentially induce a bluff or take a free card.

Paired, dry board heads-up as the preflop raiser in position; a small c-bet with Td9d (backdoor flush/straight equity) folds out many overcards and keeps the pot small if called.

I have a set of twos on a 4-7-4 flop, which is a strong hand. Calling 200 chips keeps the pot manageable and avoids overcommitting before seeing how the turn develops.

I have a pair of twos with a gutshot to a straight on a paired board; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet behind with a weak hand.

Flush draw with two overcards on a paired low board after villain check-called and checked again; semi-bluffing ~2/3 pot generates fold equity against weak pairs and ace-highs while keeping our draw live.

I have a set of twos on a 4-7-4-5 board, which is a strong hand. Calling the 600 turn bet is reasonable to keep the opponent's bluffs in and avoid bloating the pot with a marginal raise.

Board is paired with a possible full house threat; checking lets me control pot size and potentially induce a bluff or take it down cheaply with a weak hand.

Rivered top pair with Td9d after barreling; opponent's check-call line looks like 7x/5x/mid pairs that can pay off a small value bet, so bet about 30% pot for thin value while keeping it cheap against the slowplayed 4x/boats.

I hold a pair of twos with a gutshot to a straight, but the board is paired and dangerous. Seat 2 is betting aggressively on all streets, so calling is a showdown value play to avoid bloating the pot with a marginal hand.

Holding AJo on the button 3-handed is a standard value opening hand; raising to 2.5bb to build the pot and exert positional advantage.

7s4c is a weak hand that cannot withstand a raise from the button. Folding preserves my remaining stack for better opportunities.

9-6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button open; calling 150 into 400 gives decent odds but the hand plays poorly postflop with reverse implied odds, so folding is the standard play.
