Hold'em table

73o is too weak to open from the button into two live opponents, so folding preserves the stack.

Seven-deuce offsuit has very poor playability out of position, even against just the big blind. Without evidence that the opponent overfolds, folding avoids investing more in a weak hand.

K4 offsuit is a reasonable button steal in a three-handed, unraked game. A small raise leverages position and the king blocker while limiting exposure with a marginal hand.

T8o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a weak out-of-position spot. Folding is standard here; calling or 3-betting this hand does poorly.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated spot.

J3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds at 100bb deep. Folding is standard.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. 97o is too weak to flat out of position, so I raise small to take the initiative and fold out worse hands.

A2 suited is a profitable defend against a small-blind open, with position and nut-flush potential. Calling preserves those advantages without inflating the pot against stronger aces.

I have middle pair plus an open-ended straight draw heads-up, so a small flop bet builds the pot and denies free cards.

Ace-high with a weak kicker and only a backdoor flush draw is a marginal continuation on this coordinated board. I have stronger pairs and draws to defend against this bet, so I fold.

85 offsuit is too weak to open even from the button in three-handed play, so folding the big blind is the higher-EV choice.

Completing costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot, and K4 offsuit has enough equity against a random big-blind hand to continue. Limping keeps the pot small while playing out of position.

62s is weak but I get a free flop in the big blind against an SB limp; checking realizes equity cheaply without bloating the pot out of position.

King-high with no diamond or meaningful straight draw is a poor bluff candidate on this coordinated monotone flop. Checking preserves chips out of position and allows a free turn if the big blind checks.

Bottom pair on a monotone, connected board with no diamond is weak; checking to realize equity cheaply is better than betting into a range that hits this board often.

The checked-through flop leaves the big blind with a wide range, and the fourth diamond makes many non-diamond hands vulnerable. A 125-chip bluff into 200 needs relatively few folds to profit and can push out hands that beat king-high.

A small bet gives me about 3.6:1, so I need roughly 28% equity. Bottom-middle pair has some showdown value against a wide limped range that includes many bluffs without a diamond, though the river will be tough.

The river gives me top pair with showdown value, but four diamonds make a value bet unlikely to get called by worse. Checking avoids investing more against the flush-heavy portion of the opponent's turn-calling range.

A pair of sixes on a four-diamond board has some showdown value against busted hands, but a bet would only get called by better hands. Checking takes the free showdown.

A3 offsuit is a profitable button open three-handed, with an ace blocker and position after the flop. Raising to 2.25 big blinds pressures the blinds without overinvesting with a weak kicker.

Against a wide button open in 3-handed play, 97s works well as a 3-bet from the small blind, since calling out of position with the big blind still to act is weak. A 3-bet to 900 applies pressure and can take the pot down preflop.

93 offsuit is far too weak to continue against an open and a 3-bet; folding saves the remaining stack.

A3 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably against this sizable small-blind three-bet. Despite having position, frequent domination and poor playability favor folding.

Pocket jacks on the button are a strong value hand three-handed, so I'm opening to a standard 2.5bb.

KTo is playable versus a 2.5bb button open in three-handed play, and calling 200 keeps the pot small while realizing equity.

J2 offsuit has poor multiway playability and substantial domination risk against a raise and a call. Despite the favorable pot odds, its weak equity realization makes folding preferable.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a dry-ish flop; a two-thirds pot bet gets value from worse kings, queens, and draws while denying free equity.

JJ is a medium-strength hand on a K-Q two-tone board. Getting 2.5:1, it does well enough against the draws and weaker hands in a small-blind donk-betting range to call, but raising would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones.

I have top pair plus a spade flush draw on a wet board, and I was the flop aggressor. A two-thirds pot bet builds value and charges draws while I still have equity if called.

JJ is under two overcards on a board where the three-flush just completed, and we face a double barrel from the small blind. Their value range crushes us, and we need about 28% equity to call, which we likely don't have.
