Hold'em table

Nine-four suited is too weak for a standard button open against two unknown opponents. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor connectivity and limited high-card strength.

With the button folded, it's effectively heads-up against the big blind; Q9o is a reasonable hand to raise for value/isolation.

5h7s is a weak hand facing a 3bb raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

J8 offsuit from the button facing a limp and blind is too weak to continue profitably in a 3-handed raked-free but still +EV spot; better to preserve chips for stronger hands.

A9o heads-up from the SB is strong; I raise to build the pot and take initiative against the big blind.

Pocket jacks are a strong value three-bet against a small-blind opening range. Raising to 1,000 builds the pot while charging overcards to continue.

A9o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet out of position; folding saves 700 chips with a dominated hand.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot. With connected cards against the big blind's unrestricted range, taking the favorable price is preferable to folding or building a larger pot out of position.

K5 offsuit in BB with no raise; checking is free and keeps the pot small against a limper.

With seven-high, no direct draw, and only weak backdoor straight possibilities, this hand is a poor bluff candidate out of position. Checking avoids investing more while preserving the chance to improve for free.

King-high with no pair or draw on a dry flop; checking behind is cheapest way to see the turn against a passive opponent.

With almost no showdown value, this is a reasonable delayed bluff after the flop checked through. Betting 125 into 200 can fold out many unpaired hands in the big blind's wide range.

King-high with no pair or draw on a two-flush board; facing a bet, not worth continuing.

Nine-three offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button without evidence that the blinds overfold. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor equity and playability.

Cheap suited hand heads-up against BB, pot odds justify a call rather than folding or raising with weak holdings.

T2o is a weak hand in the big blind; checking to see a free flop is best.

Bottom pair with backdoor flush draw, no need to bet into BB with weak holding; check to see next card cheaply.

I have T-high with no draw; checking behind is free and I can fold to pressure.

I hold trip fours with an eight kicker, a strong made hand on this board, so I should bet for value and protect against drawing hands like the diamond draw.

Ten-high with no draw on a paired board facing a turn bet; folding is clearly cheapest.

JTo is a reasonable button opening hand; raising to 3x isolates the blinds and builds a pot with position.

Ace-six suited is too weak to call 3x off against a button raise with a player still behind; folding is the profitable play.

Against a 3-big-blind button raise, 76 offsuit is a marginal defend with poor equity realization out of position. Folding avoids investing more with a weak hand.

K9o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open-raise; I take the initiative and can win preflop or postflop with position.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids an unprofitable out-of-position pot.

AK offsuit is a premium hand; reraising isolates the button and builds the pot while applying pressure.

K9 offsuit is too weak to call a 3-bet out of position; folding loses only 600 more chips versus a likely strong range.
