Hold'em table

K6o is a marginal hand but on the button in a 3-handed game, raising to steal the blinds is profitable with position and fold equity.

82o is too weak to continue against a button raise, even with the small blind discount. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

5s7d is a weak hand facing a 2.5x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

AJs is a strong button hand in 3-handed play, so I raise to 3x the big blind for value and to take initiative.

A5o is too weak to call 3x against a raise with a player still behind; folding is standard.

Holding 9c3h out of position, the hand is too weak to call a raise, and the pot odds don't justify playing this speculative hand.

K9s from the button is a standard open-raise; taking the initiative with position against two blinds builds the pot when I connect and lets me take it down with a c-bet when they check to me. A min-raise to 300 applies light pressure without overcommitting a speculative hand.

Q7o is a weak hand, especially out of position against a button raise. Folding avoids losing chips with a marginal holding.

Queens with a deuce offsuit is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button raise; folding avoids playing a marginal pot for 200 more chips.

Kd2o is a very weak hand with little equity and poor connectivity, even on the button. Folding is the best option to avoid losing chips.

63o is too weak to continue out of position, even with a small discount; folding avoids playing a dominated hand postflop against the big blind.

Three-handed on the button with a suited connector, raising applies pressure on the blinds and lets me take control with position; I can fold to a reraise.

J7s is far too weak to call a 3x button raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

KhTc plays well against a button open, but being out of position I prefer a call to control the pot and see a flop.

We have no pair and only overcards on a paired board, out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking is standard to see a free card and avoid building a pot with a weak hand.

I flopped two pair (nines and fours) on a paired board. Betting for value against the big blind's calling range, which includes overpairs, flush draws, and worse pairs.

I check-raise to 1000 as a bluff representing trips on this paired board; my KTo has backdoor straight/flush equity and blockers, and my opponent's flop bet is often a continuation bet with air.

Facing a check-raise on a paired board with bottom two pair; opponent's range is heavily weighted toward trips or overpairs, and we have minimal equity to continue.

QJo on the button is a standard open-raise; I'll take the initiative and try to win the blinds or play in position.

J9o is a weak hand from the small blind facing a button raise, and playing it out of position would likely lose chips postflop.

Closing the action with suited connectors getting 2.25:1 pot odds against a likely wide button raise; calling preserves chips and realizes equity cheaply.

Bottom pair on a draw-heavy board is too weak to bet into the preflop raiser, but strong enough to check and evaluate the button's action.

I have an open-ended straight draw (needs A or 9) with two overs, but seat_2 checked and checking keeps the pot small while realizing equity for free.

With middle pair and a weak kicker, checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised by stronger hands. I can reevaluate on the river.

I have an open-ended straight draw (needs an A or 9) with a queen-high board; checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity for free against the preflop caller.

I have bottom pair on a coordinated board and the button has shown no aggression since preflop. Checking controls the pot and avoids value-cutting myself against stronger hands.

I have a queen-high straight draw that missed; my best hand is Q-high, which loses to any ace, king, or pair. Checking is free and seat_2 will likely bet if they have anything, so I keep the pot small and avoid paying off a better hand. If they check behind, I lose the minimum with a hand that was never good anyway.
