Hold'em table

Suited one-gapper on the button in a 3-handed game; a standard raise builds the pot with positional advantage.

8-3 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Out of position against a button raise with a big blind still to act, calling 200 more is not profitable, so I fold.

KTo has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button open; calling is profitable.

The board is paired with jacks and we have no pair or strong draw. Checking is standard out of position with a weak hand.

Dry paired board favors the preflop raiser; a continuation bet here likely takes down the pot given BB's check.

With king-high and no draw on a paired board, facing a bet from the preflop raiser, I have little equity and no reason to continue.

Q2o on the button in a 3-handed pot is weak, with a dominated queen and no suit or connectivity. Folding is the safer choice, though calling for 100 into a 150 pot is not terrible.

3c6h is a very weak hand, and we are out of position postflop against the big blind. Folding loses only the small blind and preserves chips for better opportunities.

3-7 offsuit is a very weak hand, even on the button. Folding avoids losing chips with a hand that has little potential.

J4 offsuit is weak heads-up vs BB with a call already costing 50 more; better to fold and preserve chips.

J3 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-equivalent open; folding preserves chips for better spots.

K8o in the small blind heads-up against the big blind, after the button folded. Getting 3-to-1 pot odds (50 to win 150), so calling is profitable. Raising is marginal with this hand.

With AhTc and position, raising to 250 puts pressure on the small blind and can win the pot preflop or build a pot in position.

K8o is a marginal hand, but getting 350 into 150 (about 2.3 to 1) in a 3-handed pot against a BB 2.5x raise makes calling reasonable. Folding gives up too much equity, and a 3-bet with a weak hand is not worth the risk.

King-high on a paired 5-5-J board is a weak holding. Checking out of position keeps the pot small, and the preflop raiser may continue betting, so I can decide against a bet with the K-high's showdown value in mind.

I have Ace-high with no draw on a paired board; checking back allows me to see a free turn and avoid building a pot with a weak hand.

Board is 5h 5d Jd 6c and both players checked the flop. I hold king-high with a backdoor-ish gutter, so I'm probably ahead of many of the BB's checking hands. A small bet of 300 into the 500 pot takes the initiative and gets worse hands to fold or call. I'm out of position, so I'll keep the sizing small.}

I have only Ace-high with no draw on a paired board. Seat 2's turn bet into a pot of 800 suggests some strength, and calling or raising with no equity would be unprofitable.

QJo on the button in a 3-handed game is a solid playable hand, and calling 100 to win a 150 pot gets a good price. Raising is also reasonable, but calling keeps variance low while I stay in position.

Folding 96o from the small blind with the big blind still to act; hand is too weak to play out of position, despite getting 5:1 immediate odds.

I'm BB with a weak hand (9s5c) and can check for free since the button only called; no reason to raise with poor equity.

Flop pairs me with bottom pair only, no need to bet into an unopened board out of position; check to control pot size.

Heads-up on A-T-5 rainbow-ish with a gutshot (KQ needed: Q-J with A-T gives K for Broadway) plus backdoor draws; the BB checked, so a small bet can take the pot now or build equity against weak holdings.}

J7o is marginal but playable on the button 3-handed. A min-raise risks 200 to win 150, and we can fold to a re-raise or play postflop in position if called.

Weak offsuit holding (9-6) facing a raise from the button; not worth continuing out of position.

2-4 offsuit is among the weakest hands. Calling 100 more to win 350 needs about 22% equity, and I would be out of position against a button raiser who opens wide, so folding is correct.
