Hold'em table

K3s is playable from the button in three-handed poker, so I open to 2.5bb to steal the blinds and play a suited king in position.

Jd5c is weak and out of position; facing a 250 raise with only 200 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this hand.

Jc6c offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; not worth continuing from the big blind against a 2.5x open.

My hand is weak (2d Jh) and I am out of position on the button facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up with a suited connector; no need to bloat the pot with a weak holding.

52 suited is too weak to raise from the big blind after a limp, and checking is free, so I take the flop.

I only have a weak gutshot draw with no pair; checking to see a free card is best here.

I have no pair, draw, or board connection on T-6-7, and checking is free after the small blind checked. There is no value in betting pure air here.

I only have a backdoor gutshot straight draw with no pair; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

5-2 has no pair, draw, or showdown value on this paired board, so checking the free turn is best.

No made hand (just 4-3 high), board is paired with no draw for me, so checking is the free option to see showdown cheaply.

I am playing the board with 5-2 and have no pair or straight, so a river bet only risks chips against any pair or nine. With no bet to call, checking takes the free showdown.

Button steal attempt with a suited-connector-type hand against two blinds; a standard raise here builds pot equity and applies pressure in position.

Pocket nines are ahead of a button open and play poorly multiway out of position, so I 3-bet to 1000 to isolate and build the pot.

My hand is weak (Q7o) and facing a significant raise to 1000 with only 900 to call. Folding preserves my stack against two aggressive players.

67o facing a big 4-bet-sized reraise is not worth continuing; folding preserves chips for a better spot.

KJo is a strong button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 2.5bb builds the pot and applies pressure before the flop.

Calling 200 to see a flop with AsTc gives me a backdoor nut flush draw and a ten kicker; the price is reasonable and I avoid bloating the pot with a speculative hand out of position.

Qd5h offsuit is weak facing a raise and a call; folding is correct here.

I have top pair with the top kicker on a relatively dry board, but seat_1 showed significant preflop strength with a raise to 2.5x. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff or see a free card, rather than building a large pot with a marginal advantage.

I have the nut straight on Th-9c-Qc and the opponent checked, so a two-thirds-pot bet builds the pot while still getting called by pairs, two pair, and draws.

I have top pair with the best kicker on a board that favors my hand, and calling keeps the pot manageable while denying the button the chance to bluff freely.

Board is coordinated with a straight draw and top pair possible; I have top pair with a ten kicker and want to control pot size and induce bluffs on the turn. Checking keeps my range balanced and avoids building a big pot with a marginal kicker.

I have the nut straight on Th-9c-Qc-6s and the turn was checked to me, so I bet about 70% pot for value against pairs, two-pair, and draws.

Seat 1's turn raise to 1000 on a paired board with my weak Tc kicker represents strong value; calling is -EV and folding preserves my stack.

I have T2o on the button with the BB already raised; this is a weak speculative hand that does not play well postflop, so folding minimizes expected loss.

T4 offsuit is weak and I'd be out of position post-flop against the big blind, so folding is cheap and correct.

K2 offsuit from the button facing a raise to 100 with two players already in is a weak hand; folding preserves chips.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Ace-six offsuit is strong enough to raise for initiative rather than only complete.

Seat 3 folded, so it's heads-up against seat 1's raise. Ks-6d is a marginal hand; calling 200 to see a flop is reasonable, but raising would overcommit without enough equity.

I have top pair on a board with flush and straight draws, so a small c-bet gets value from worse aces and draws while keeping the pot manageable with a weak kicker.

Calling is the most straightforward play with Ks-high on a dry flop; I have a backdoor flush draw and can see a cheap turn without bloating the pot. The min-raise to 400 is too small to justify a bluff given the board texture and my weak showdown value.

Top pair is still ahead of much of the calling range, and a half-pot bet charges diamond draws while getting value from worse aces and pairs.

I have a King-high with backdoor flush and straight possibilities on a dry board. Calling 500 to see the river keeps me in the hand without overcommitting with a marginal holding against a persistent aggressor.

Top pair with a weak kicker is too thin to value-bet once the third diamond completes a flush. Checking lets me reach showdown without bloating the pot against stronger made hands.

Board is paired with three diamonds and I hold Ks-high with no made hand; checking is correct since there is no bet to call and I want to see a cheap showdown.
