Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button against two blinds at this stack depth.

KQs is a strong hand and I have fold equity against the big blind, so I want to build the pot while limiting the field. A minimum raise is sufficient to apply pressure heads-up.

JTo is well ahead of a wide small-blind raising range, and I'm getting 4:1 with position in a blind-vs-blind spot, so calling is clearly profitable. Keeping the pot small with a playable hand is reasonable.

I have KQ with a king-high board and no made hand, but I have position to see a free turn card. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate the opponent's action.

The SB raised preflop and then checked a dry J55 flop, so top pair with a ten kicker is very likely ahead. A small value bet of about 150 into 400 lets weaker hands and draws continue while protecting our equity.

J7s is playable from the button in a three-handed pot, and calling 100 offers good pot odds while keeping the pot small out of position against the blinds.

A5o is well ahead of a button limping range and the ace blocker helps, so I'm isolating with a raise to take the initiative rather than completing out of position.

54 offsuit is too weak to defend against a large small-blind squeeze with another player still involved.

I have a suited hand and position, so I'll call to see a flop and potentially outplay my opponent.

Top pair with a weak kicker, out of position on a very wet, broadway-heavy board. Checking controls the pot size: the button's limp-call range contains many better aces and strong draws, and I can still bluff-catch against its bets.

I have a marginal pair of jacks on a board that strongly favors the opponent's preflop raising range, so I check to control the pot and see a cheap turn.

Top pair with a weak kicker after the button checked back the flop. A small bet gets thin value from Qx, Jx and draws, denies equity, and keeps the pot controlled.

I have a weak pair of jacks with no draws, and the opponent's turn bet indicates strength on a coordinated board, so I fold to avoid further losses.

Pocket eights on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong open, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

3-2 offsuit is extremely weak, and calling 150 more out of position against a button raise is unprofitable. Folding preserves chips.

4♦3♦ is too weak to profitably open at this stack depth in this spot.

We have a weak offsuit connector in position. Calling is cheap and we can play postflop with position, while raising would be too aggressive with this hand.

Getting 5:1 to complete in a limped pot with a connected hand, so a cheap call is fine even though I'll be out of position.

9-high offsuit is too weak to raise from the big blind into two limpers; check and realize equity for free.

I have 4-high with only a weak gutshot (needs a J for 9-T-J? no, only 3-4 helps nothing) on a connected K-T-9 board, out of position against two players in a limped pot. Checking is best; bluffing here has little fold equity.

Bet small for thin value and protection with middle pair on a coordinated board, while keeping the pot manageable multiway.

I have only a gutshot straight draw with 7-6 on a coordinated board, and the pot odds do not justify calling 100. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

The 34 offsite has no pair and only a weak backdoor draw on K-T-9, which connects well with the big blind's checking range. Calling 100 into 400 isn't justified, so I fold.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button at a 3-handed table with 100bb stacks, so I'm folding it.

Complete the small blind and see a flop heads-up with Q-high at a minimal price.

I have a strong pocket pair and can charge the limper while taking the pot down often; I raise to 300 for value and protection.

Q4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x big-blind raise.
