Hold'em table

I have Ace-high with a backdoor flush draw, so I want to isolate the limpers and build the pot with a strong premium hand. A 300 raise is a standard open size that applies pressure while keeping my stack healthy.

A9 offsuit is a decent hand; 3-betting from SB against a button open applies pressure while building a pot with a hand that plays well heads-up.

65 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open and a small-blind 3-bet to 9bb. Folding avoids putting 800 more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

Calling 600 with Ad-high is a reasonable play to keep the pot manageable and see a flop, as I'm on the button and the opponent has shown strength with a large raise. Folding would be too cautious, and a min-raise to 1500 risks too much with a weak hand.

As preflop aggressor on a dry paired board, a continuation bet with A-high overcards applies pressure and can win the pot outright.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a paired board, so I want to control the pot and avoid bloating it with a marginal hand. Calling keeps me in the hand cheaply while I assess seat_2's strength.

I hold only ace-high with no made hand or strong draw; checking controls pot size and lets me see the river cheaply rather than continuing to bluff into a caller.

Board is paired with a Ten on the turn, giving me a weak Ace-high with backdoor flush potential. Checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids building a big bet with a marginal hand against a player who raised the flop.

I have only ace-high with no pair or draw on this board, so checking for a free showdown is best given villain's earlier strength.

The board is paired with 5s and I hold only a backdoor flush draw with Ad; checking is the safest play to avoid building a bigger pot with a weak hand against a likely strong range.

3d Th offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-sized call with two players behind; folding avoids marginal spots.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Ace-seven suited is strong enough to raise for value and fold equity rather than just complete.

Calling 200 to see a flop with 4s8s is reasonable given the short-handed pot odds and the chance to hit a flush or straight draw. Folding would be too passive, and raising is unnecessary without more information.

Ace-high with only a gutshot on a low board that favors the caller; checking realizes equity and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

I have a backdoor flush draw with 4s8s on a 6s9h5d board, but I'm out of position and the pot is small. Checking keeps my options open and avoids building a bigger pot with a mediocre hand.

Ace-high with no pair or draw is too weak to bet out of position for value, and a bluff mostly folds out worse hands while getting called by pairs. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves showdown value.

The board is disconnected and I hold only a weak gutshot with backdoor flush potential; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a mediocre hand against a likely strong range.

Ace-high has thin showdown value in a small pot after both players checked flop and turn; betting mostly gets called by pairs and folds out worse.

Board is dry and uncoordinated; my 4s-8s is a weak hand unlikely to beat a raise. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with a marginal holding.

Pocket queens is a premium hand on the button, so I open to 3x the big blind to build the pot and take control preflop.

With 4s2s, I have very little equity against a preflop raise and cannot justify calling 250 to see a flop. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

4-8 offsuit is weak, facing a raise with no pot odds justification to continue.

I have 9s5c, a weak offsuit hand that is unlikely to win against the blinds' range. Folding preserves my 100bb stack for better opportunities.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up against the big blind with a live but weak hand; folding here is too tight given the pot odds.

Pocket threes have enough equity heads-up against a limp to take the initiative with a small isolation raise and play the rest of the hand in position.

6h Tc offsuit is weak against a raise from the big blind who called then raised; not worth continuing for 250 more.

9-6 offsuit from the button facing a raise is weak; folding preserves chips given no positional or pot odds advantage.

63 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind for another half-blind, even heads-up against the big blind.

Pocket sixes on the button is a clear open in a three-handed pot; a 3bb raise builds the pot and takes the initiative before the blinds.

I hold 2d 9h, a weak offsuit hand that lacks the strength to continue against a 300 preflop raise. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

J5 offsuit is weak; facing a 3bb raise from the button with a poor hand, folding is best.
