Hold'em table

I have pocket queens on the button, a premium hand. Raising to 300 builds the pot and puts pressure on the blinds.

I hold 3d Ah, a weak offsuit hand. Facing a 300 raise with only 200 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this marginal holding.

I have a pocket pair of twos. With the BB still in and the SB having only put in 50, a 300 raise is a standard open size that builds the pot and puts pressure on the big blind while keeping my stack healthy.

J2o is a weak offsuit hand facing a 3x raise from the small blind; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

I have a suited Ten with an Eight kicker, which is a playable hand but not strong enough to raise preflop from the button. Calling 100 keeps me in the pot with implied odds while avoiding a big bluff raise into two opponents.

Getting 5:1 pot odds to complete the small blind, so I call with a weak but playable hand and reassess after the flop. Raising with T3o into two opponents would risk too much with poor equity.

K3o is too weak to raise for value, and checking lets me see a free flop with top-pair potential while keeping the pot small out of position.

I have a weak offsuit ten-high hand out of position on a paired, two-club flop. Checking preserves chips and avoids building a pot with little equity.

I have king-high with a backdoor flush draw, and checking keeps me in the pot cheaply with position to see the turn.

The flop is checked through with a middle pair on a paired board; I want to control pot size and avoid building a big pot with a marginal hand. Checking keeps my options open for either a cheap showdown or a later bluff if the board changes.

With T-high and no real equity on a paired board, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into two opponents who have shown no weakness by folding.

Checked to on the turn with a backdoor straight draw and no pair; pot is small and I want to keep the hand cheap while preserving fold equity on the river.

No showdown value with 3c Ts on this board; checking to see a free showdown and avoid risking chips with a pure bluff into two opponents.

The board is paired with 7s, and my Ten-high is likely behind. With no money in the pot post-flop and a weak hand, checking to realize equity is the best play.

76o is a speculative hand, but on the button in 3-handed, raising applies pressure and can take down the blinds or gain position with a hand that flops well.

J4o is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, so I fold and preserve chips.

8c5d is weak and unsuited, and facing a raise to 250 with only 150 to call, the pot odds and hand strength don't justify continuing preflop.

I have pocket Jacks in the small blind and only need to call 50 to see a flop. The big blind has already invested 100, so calling keeps the pot manageable while I wait to see if I hit a set or overcards.

The button folded and the small blind limped, so I isolate with a raise to 300 to take the initiative and punish a likely weak limping range. A3o has decent equity against that range and can fold out many hands.

I have a pocket pair of Jacks, which is a strong hand. Calling the 200 chip raise keeps me in the hand without overcommitting with just two opponents.

I have middle pair on a paired board with a possible full house for the opponent. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a vulnerable hand.

Seat_3 checked a dry paired flop and I have the best overcard; a half-pot continuation bet can take the pot down or fold out worse overcards, while keeping my risk controlled.

I hold a pair of Jacks on a 9-9-2 flop, which is vulnerable to the opponent's raise. Calling keeps me in the hand at a reasonable cost without overcommitting with a weak second pair.

I have top set on a 9-9-2-A board and want to control the pot size while keeping the opponent's bluffs in. Checking allows me to potentially induce a bluff or take a free card.

I have two pair (aces and nines) and my opponent checked the turn. Betting for value and protection against draws is best; I can fold if raised.

I have middle pair on a paired board with an Ace kicker; calling keeps me in the pot without overcommitting against a strong range. Folding is safe but gives up equity, and raising is too thin given the board texture.

5s 7h is a weak offsuit hand with no straight or flush potential. Facing a 100bb big blind on the button with no prior investment, folding is the most expected and chip-preserving play.
