Hold'em table

3-6 offsuit is a very weak button hand and not worth entering with against two blinds.

Queen-high is strong enough heads-up to complete from the SB; folding loses too much equity against one random hand.

With 85o in the big blind and the small blind just completing, I have a weak hand and no fold equity. Checking lets me see a free flop in position.

Middle pair on a wet KQT board heads-up; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a cheap turn without committing against a likely K.

We have nothing on this board, so we take the free card and hope to improve on the turn or bluff later if the opponent shows weakness.

I have middle pair (Q) on a coordinated KQT2 board with no betting so far; checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it out of position with a marginal hand.

Opponent has checked twice, indicating weakness, and I have no showdown value with 8-high. A half-pot bluff on this scary board can take down the pot cheaply.

K5o is a weak hand out of position against the big blind, and folding avoids risking more chips with a marginal holding.

T9o on the button in a 3-handed game has enough equity to open-raise. Blinds are likely to fold often to a 2.5x raise, and if called, we have position postflop.

34 offsuit is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still behind.

K4s is too weak to defend a 2.5x raise out of position from the big blind; folding is cheapest.

T6 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button in this short-stacked three-handed structure.

T3o is weak but I only need 50 more to see a flop heads-up against the BB; folding wastes the SB investment with decent pot odds.

I have a weak offsuit hand with little showdown value and no reason to raise; checking lets me see a flop for free.

I flopped trip tens with T3; betting for value since seat_3's preflop check-back suggests a weak range.

We have middle pair with a weak kicker on a T-9-5 board, but we are in position against a small blind who could be continuation betting with a wide range. Calling allows us to re-evaluate the turn with pot control and positional advantage.

I hold two pair (tens and threes) on the turn and it checked to me, so I bet for value while protecting against flush draws.

Weak pair of nines with no draw on a flush-completing turn; opponent's double barrel suggests strength, and calling with poor odds would be -EV.

Queen-high on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; taking the initiative builds the pot with position and can win blinds immediately.

J7s is too weak to call or raise from the small blind against a button open; folding avoids losing chips out of position with a marginal hand.

J2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button 3x open at this stack depth.

KQs is a premium hand on the button in a 3-handed game; raising to 2.5x the big blind builds the pot, applies pressure on the blinds, and capitalizes on position.

JsTh is a playable suited broadway hand getting a reasonable price versus a button open, and calling preserves flexibility in a multiway pot.

2c5s is a very weak hand facing a raise and a call; folding and saving 150 chips is clearly best.

I will check top pair with a solid kicker to keep the opponent's range wide and respond to their flop action.

C-bet with two overcards on a dry board to represent strength and potentially take down the pot.

Top pair with a strong kicker is comfortably worth continuing against this small continuation bet. Calling keeps the opponent's bluffs and weaker pairs in range while controlling the pot.

We have top two pair on a coordinated board and should value-bet while charging straight and diamond draws. A substantial turn lead targets one-pair hands and draws.

We have an open-ended straight draw (8 outs) and two overcards (K, Q) that may be live, giving us up to 14 outs. The pot odds are 2.5:1, and with implied odds if we hit the straight, calling is profitable. Raising is risky as we are deep and opponent showed strength on the turn.

I have tens full of jacks, a very strong value hand. A pot-sized river bet can be called by trips and by any jack that chops, while retaining flexibility against an unlikely huge raise representing pocket jacks.

We have only a pair of tens with K-Q kickers on a board with straights and full houses possible. Seat 1's turn lead and large river bet show strength, and we beat only a bluff. Given the pot odds, calling is likely -EV.
