Hold'em table

Button raise with Ace-high offsuit hand, standard steal-sized open in a 3-handed pot.

A9o has enough equity versus a wide three-handed button open to continue, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position rather than bloating it with a marginal three-bet.

6c5s is a weak hand with limited playability, and facing a raise-to 250 plus a call from the SB, the pot odds don't justify a speculative call from the BB with such disconnected cards.

Ace-high with no pair or draw on a paired flop; checking is free and lets the preflop raiser act first in position.

I have an open-ended straight draw (3-4-5 needing 2 or 6) plus an overcard, and both opponents checked, so a continuation bet on this paired board applies pressure while building equity.

A9o is ace-high with no draw on a paired 554 board, out of position against a flop bet. Folding avoids paying off a range that often has a pair or better.

T3o is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind; folding preserves chips for better spots.

With As7s, I have a strong suited Ace and backdoor flush potential. The small blind is only 50, so a 300 raise builds the pot with good implied odds and puts pressure on the big blind's wider range.

I have a strong suited connector with Queen-high, which plays well post-flop. Calling keeps the pot manageable and allows me to see the flop without committing too many chips.

Cheap price to see a flop with a suited connector-ish hand from the small blind; calling 50 more is fine given pot odds.

84o is too weak to raise multiway, and checking is free as the big blind after both opponents have limped.

No pair, no draw on an AA7 board; checking to avoid investing chips with weak equity.

I have 48 offsuit with no pair and no real draw on a paired ace flop, so checking for free is best.

Checked to keep the pot small with a medium pair on a dry board, avoiding building a big pot out of position.

No pair or draw on this board; check to see the river cheaply since action has been checked around.

I have 84 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a paired-ace board, so there is no value in betting into two opponents. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes whatever tiny showdown equity remains.

I hold top set on the turn with a dry board, but the pot is only 300 and both opponents checked twice, so a bluff catch is unlikely to get paid. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a hand that may not have showdown value against a strong range.

Board is Ah Ac 7c Qs Tc; my 4-2 has no pair or draw, and with everyone checking through I have no reason to bluff into two live opponents.

I have no pair and no draw on a paired ace board, so a river bluff into two players is unlikely to succeed. Checking is free and preserves any chance both opponents also missed.

Board is paired Aces with Queen and Ten kickers; my QQ is likely second pair. All players checked through the river, so a bluff is unlikely to succeed. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a mediocre hand.

Button with weak offsuit 9-5 facing a raise-limited pot; folding is fine since I'm not in the blinds and this hand has little equity to justify calling out of position postflop against two players.

T6o is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind, and calling invites a raise that forces a fold. Folding limits the loss to the small blind already posted.

96o is too weak to open or limp from the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.

6h3s is a weak hand that struggles against the big blind's 100-chip investment, and the small blind's 50-chip call doesn't provide enough fold equity or implied odds to justify a raise or call.

I have a pocket pair of sixes in position on the button. Calling 100 chips to see a flop is a standard play with this hand; I'll avoid raising preflop to keep the pot manageable and preserve my stack.

2d9h offsuit is weak; facing a call and limp, not worth completing from the small blind.

Jh5o is too weak to raise after a button limp, and checking is free as the big blind.

I have a pair of fives plus a heart flush draw, so a small flop bet builds the pot and applies pressure while I still have equity if called.

I have a pocket pair of sixes with a backdoor flush draw on a 5h-4h-Qs board. Calling 150 keeps me in the hand cheaply while letting the aggressor continue betting, and I can improve on later streets.

Bottom pair with a jack kicker is too thin to bet again after a flop call. Checking controls the pot and keeps worse hands and draws in without bloating a marginal spot.

Board is dry and unpaired with a backdoor flush draw; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with just a pair of sixes. If seat_2 has a strong hand, I'd rather see a free river than commit more chips now.

I have only bottom pair with a jack kicker, and a river bet is unlikely to be called by worse. Checking is free and can still win against missed draws or air.

The board is unpaired and dry with no obvious flush or straight draws, and my 6-6 is unlikely to be ahead on the river. Checking is the safest play to avoid building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.
