Hold'em table

3h Ks is a weak offsuit hand on the button facing a 100bb big blind; folding avoids investing chips with poor equity.

Seven-deuce offsuit is one of the weakest hands, and completing the small blind for 50 more into a 3-handed pot with a weak hand has negative expected value, so I fold.

J9 offsuit on the button is a marginal hand, but with small blinds and a cheap 100-chip call in position, calling to see a flop is reasonable.

T6 offsuit has poor multiway playability and must act first after the flop. The cheap completion is offset by weak equity realization and the big blind's opportunity to raise.

I have 6d5c and the action is heads-up with no raise yet, so I can check to see a cheap flop and avoid committing more chips with a weak hand.

I have a weak 6-5 offsuit with a backdoor flush draw and no pair on a K-Q-6 board. Checking keeps my hand disguised and allows me to see a free turn card without risking chips on a marginal holding.

I hold J-9 with no pair on a K-6-Q board, so I have no strong made hand. Checking is free and keeps the pot small.

Board is K-high with a flush draw and a pair of sixes; my 6-5 is weak and vulnerable. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have only a jack-high hand with a gutshot to a straight, so checking is the cheapest way to see the river without bloating the pot.

Board is paired with a K high and I hold only 6-5, so my hand is weak. Seat 2 checked twice, so checking behind is the safest play to avoid building a bigger pot with a losing hand.

I hold a pair of jacks on a board with a king and queen, which is likely best against a player who checked the river, so checking to showdown is the controlled line.

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while retaining positional advantage if called.

5s3c is a weak hand that cannot stand a raise from the button. The pot odds don't justify calling 200 to continue with such marginal equity.

Calling 150 into a 400 pot gives about 3.7:1 odds, and 3-2 offsuit has roughly 35% equity against a wide button raising range, so the call is marginally profitable.

I hold 3s 2d, which is essentially air on an A-Q-K flop with only a remote wheel backdoor, so I should check for free rather than bet into two opponents.

Third pair has showdown value but gets limited value from worse hands on this ace-king-high board. Checking back controls the pot, avoids a check-raise, and lets us realize our equity in position.

I hold 3-2 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a board of A-K-K-Q, and checking is free, so checking keeps the hand cheap and avoids bloating the pot.

Our queen has showdown value, but betting is unlikely to get much value from worse hands while aces and kings continue. Checking behind keeps the pot controlled and lets us reassess on the river.

I have 3-2 with no pair and no straight on a paired K-high board, so checking is the cheapest way to see the river and avoids building the pot with a weak hand.

Our kings and queens have showdown value, but worse hands are unlikely to call a bet. Checking avoids paying off an ace, trips, or a completed flush.

I have Ace-high with a disconnected kicker and no pair, which is too weak to call or raise against two opponents who have already invested money. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Suited 98 is a playable hand in a 3-handed pot, and completing the small blind for 50 more is cheap with good implied odds versus the big blind.

K3 offsuit is too weak to raise routinely against a small-blind limp. Checking lets me see a free flop and use position without inflating the pot with a weak kicker.

I hold three eights (8h with the 8s and 8c on board), a very strong made hand, so I bet about pot to build the pot against seat_3.

Our pair of threes with a king kicker has sufficient showdown value against a wide small-blind limping and betting range. Calling in position keeps bluffs in while avoiding a raise that would mostly attract stronger hands.

I hold a set of eights (8h with 8s and 8c on board), which is very strong, so I'm betting for value to build the pot against seat_3's flop call.

Our low pair is a weak bluff-catcher against a pot-sized flop bet followed by another substantial bet. With few reliable improvement outs and potential river pressure, calling is unlikely to realize enough equity.

Pocket tens are a strong preflop hand in a 3-way pot, so raising to 300 builds the pot and takes initiative from the blinds.

J9 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably from the small blind against a 3bb button raise. We would play out of position with the big blind still able to squeeze.

Kd7h is a weak offsuit hand that doesn't play well out of position. Seat 2 raised to 300 and seat 3 folded, so I'm facing a 200 chip call with poor odds and no information about their range.

98 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, with position and some straight potential. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds without investing too much with a marginal hand.

Seat 3 opened to 250 and I'm in the small blind with 200 to call. My A2s is suited but weak for a 3-bet, so calling keeps the pot controlled and lets me see a flop cheaply.

Facing a 150-chip call into a 600-chip pot with three players, the price is good enough to continue with a weak but cheap Q3 offsuit rather than folding.

I have top pair with the ace kicker on a dry 8-6-4 flop, but I'm in the small blind and the button raised preflop. Checking back keeps the pot small and allows me to control the hand on future streets.

I hold Q-high with no pair or draw on an 8-6-4 board, and checking is free, so I take the free card rather than bet into two opponents.

Top pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but this connected board favors the callers' ranges in a three-way pot. Checking back controls the pot and avoids a difficult check-raise while preserving our positional advantage.

The board is a coordinated 8-6-4-3 with no obvious made hand, and I hold only Ace-high. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak hand.

I hold a pair of threes on a low board with no bet to call, so checking keeps the pot small and sees the river for free.

After both opponents check twice, top pair can often get value from weaker pairs and draws. Betting just over half pot also denies free equity, while leaving room to fold against a strong check-raise.

Calling 400 with As2s on a 8c-6d-4s-3d board keeps me in the pot cheaply while the button shows strength. I'll see the river and decide based on the final card.

I hold a pair of threes with a queen kicker, and calling 400 into a 1550 pot is close to break-even, so I'll call to see the river cheaply rather than fold a marginal made hand.

The board is 8c-6d-4s-3d-Qd, giving me a weak Ace-high with no made hand. Both opponents checked through on the flop and turn, and seat_3's turn bet was called by seat_1, so the pot is likely contested. Checking to see a cheap showdown is the highest EV play here.

I have top pair with queens, but the turn raise makes a strong hand possible, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it behind a possibly stronger range.

Our pair of eights has showdown value, but the queen and completed diamond draws make a value bet too thin against two turn callers. Checking avoids risking more chips when worse hands are unlikely to call.
