Hold'em table

Q3 offsuit is weak, so I’ll avoid building a larger pot and complete cheaply in position.

Getting 5:1 pot odds to complete the small blind with 8d9s, calling is profitable to see a flop and potentially hit a straight or pair.

Seven-six suited plays well in a multiway pot, and checking lets me see the flop for free rather than build a pot out of position.

I have no made hand, just a gutshot straight draw on a paired board with no position, so checking to see what develops is prudent.

I have a vulnerable pair of sixes on a paired board. A half-pot bet can get value from weaker hands while charging overcards to continue.

I have no pair or meaningful draw, and calling a half-pot bet with only weak overcards is unprofitable.

I have 8d9s on a paired board with only a gutshot straight draw, and the pot odds don't justify a call. Folding preserves my stack.

K7o is a weak hand from first position, even 3-handed. Without reads, folding avoids risking chips with a marginal holding.

Heads-up against the big blind, K4 offsuit is strong enough to open-raise from the small blind. A 2.5bb raise applies pressure without committing too much out of position.

T2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a raise, even with the price offered. Folding avoids investing more from out of position.

Four-deuce suited is too weak to open profitably against two uncommitted blinds.

Complete the small blind cheaply with a suited hand; folding gives up too much equity, while raising 6-2 suited is unnecessary.

Holding 2d 9s, a very weak hand; checking to see the flop for free is optimal.

I have a flush draw and can apply pressure in the limped pot with a modest bet. This also gives me a chance to win immediately while retaining strong equity if called.

We have middle pair with a weak kicker on a draw-heavy board, getting 3:1 pot odds. Calling to see the turn and reassess, but we may fold to further aggression if we don't improve.

The king is a favorable scare card for my flop-raising range, and my club draw gives me equity when called. A modest turn bet can pressure hands that only called the flop while building the pot when I hit.

I have only middle pair with a terrible kicker on a wet board and the turn king is a clear overcard. The pot odds are not enough to chase five outs if behind, and I can preserve my stack for better spots.

K9 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

4s6s is a weak speculative hand and calling a raise from the small blind out of position with the big blind still to act is unprofitable long-term.

Seven-six suited has enough equity and postflop potential to defend the big blind against a 2.5bb button raise.

I have a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. Betting builds the pot when I have strong equity and may fold out unpaired overcards.

The low, connected flop strongly favors the big blind’s calling range, and my king-high hand has no immediate draw. The bet requires about 28% equity, which is unlikely against a continuing range.

In position on the button with T8o, raising to 300 to apply pressure and attempt to steal the blinds; folds out weaker hands and builds pot with potential to win without showdown.

T8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

K4 suited is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button open, and the price is acceptable given the button’s wide range.

K-high has little showdown value and no immediate draw on this ace-high flop. Check to avoid building a pot out of position and preserve the option to respond to the button’s action.

We have middle pair with a weak kicker on an Ace-high board; checking back controls the pot and avoids a check-raise.

I have only king-high with no meaningful draw on a coordinated, three-club board, so betting into the preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable. I’ll take the free card.

We have middle pair on a board with straight and flush draws. Betting for protection and value from weaker hands that might call, while representing a strong hand after preflop aggression.

I have only king-high with no meaningful draw, and the turn bet offers poor odds to continue. Fold rather than pay 400 hoping to improve or catch a bluff.

On the button in a three-handed game, 9-7 offsuit is playable as a modest open raise. Position helps offset its weakness.

Q6 suited is playable in the small blind against a button open, and the price is reasonable. Calling keeps the pot manageable rather than inflating it with a marginal hand.

Getting 4-to-1 pot odds closing the action, and 75o has enough equity against likely wide ranges to see a flop despite being out of position.

With only a gutshot and no meaningful flush draw on this coordinated flop, a multiway bluff is unattractive. Check and take the free chance to improve.

We have middle pair and an open-ended straight draw, so betting for value and protection is appropriate.

I have only nine-high with no immediate draw, and a bet into two opponents makes calling unattractive.

I have a gutshot to the wheel, backdoor club potential, and some overcard/pair outs at a reasonable price. Calling keeps bluffs in and lets me reassess on the turn.

I have an open-ended straight draw with eight outs, but the opponent showed strength on the flop. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me realize my equity.

I have bottom two pair on a draw-heavy board, so I bet around 2/3 pot for value and protection against flush and straight draws.

I have an open-ended straight draw with eight clean-looking outs, and the call offers reasonable implied odds against the deep remaining stacks. Raising risks building a large pot with only queen-high and no made hand.

I have only queen-high with no completed draw, and the river completes the diamond flush. A bluff is unlikely to be profitable after calling the turn, so I’ll take the free showdown.

I have two pair with 7s5d on a board that completed some draws. Seat 1's check shows weakness, so a moderate value bet can extract chips from worse hands like a pair or a missed draw, while folding to a raise given the straight and flush possibilities.

Q-high has no pair or meaningful draw, and the river completes a possible diamond flush. Calling would require too many bluffs from a line of flop raise, turn raise, and river bet.
