Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is the weakest starting hand and will rarely have enough equity to justify calling 100 into a 150 pot against two live blinds.

5-2 offsuit is one of the worst starting hands; folding to the big blind is correct even heads-up against one blind.

Three-handed button play allows a wide opening range; K3o has decent blocker value and I can leverage position post-flop.

K6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a frequently dominated hand out of position.

Facing a 150-chip call into a 400-chip pot from the big blind, the price is good for a suited 9-7 with playable postflop potential against a button raise that could be wide.

I have 9-7 of diamonds with no pair on a Q-6-2 board, so I have little showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and I can continue cheaply if I improve.

King-high with backdoor potential; a c-bet on a dry board pressures the checker and has fold equity, with reasonable implied value if called.

With 9-7 suited and no pair on a Q-6-2 board, I have only a backdoor flush draw and weak straight potential, so I cannot justify calling 300 into an 850 pot.

Nine-six offsuit is too weak for a standard button open at 100 big blinds with both blinds still to act. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor connectivity and limited postflop potential.

Three-eight offsuit is one of the weakest hands, and completing from the small blind into a heads-up pot with the big blind is marginal, so folding avoids a slow loss.

A3 offsuit is a weak hand, but calling 100 from the button in a 3-handed pot is cheap and keeps me in with position on two blinds.

97o is weak from SB facing a call and limped pot; not worth completing with two players behind yet to act and no fold equity gained.

JTo has solid playability, but checking avoids building a pot out of position with a marginal hand. Taking a free flop is preferable to isolating an unknown button limper here.

With jack-high and only backdoor diamond potential, checking keeps the pot small out of position. There is no need to build a pot with limited equity against the button’s limping range.

I have only ace-high on a paired 6-4-6 board, so I take the free card rather than bet into a player who already checked.

The button's limp and flop check leave plenty of weak hands that can fold to a turn probe. Betting 150 into 250 applies inexpensive pressure, with some river improvement potential if called.

I have only ace-high on a paired-six board, and the turn raise likely represents a six or a strong hand. Calling 150 into a 400 pot needs more equity than my ace-high has against that range.

63o is a weak offsuit hand with no connection to a profitable button steal against two live blinds; folding preserves chips.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot. T4 suited has enough playability to take this price while keeping the pot small out of position.

I'm already in the big blind with no bet to call, and T7 suited is too weak to raise profitably, so checking keeps the pot small and sees the flop for free.

Trip fours are strong enough to start building the pot. This modest value bet can get calls from eights, pocket pairs, and some ace-high hands in the big blind’s wide range.

I have T-high with only a backdoor flush draw against a flop bet, so I need about 28% equity to call and don't have it.

Q2 offsuit is too weak for a standard button open against two unknown opponents. Folding avoids investing with poor playability and frequent kicker domination.

Calling the 50-chip completion is cheap, and with the button already folded it only costs half a small blind to see a flop heads-up. Folding 4-9 offsuit would give up that small edge.

J5o is weak, I'm already in for free with option to check, no reason to raise.

I have 4-9 with no pair on a K-J-K board, so I have no made hand. Checking is free and keeps the pot small, which is better than a weak bluff into two opponents.

I have two pair (Kings and Jacks) on this board, a strong value hand, so I bet to build the pot against a checking opponent.

I have 9-high with no pair and no meaningful draw on a J-K-K board, so calling 150 into a 350 pot isn't justified.
