Hold'em table

Marginal offsuit hand on the button in a 3-handed game; cheap call to see a flop rather than committing more.

8s2s is a very weak hand and I am out of position as the small blind facing a raise from the button. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to raise for value out of position. Checking lets me see the flop for free.

Queen-high has some showdown value on this paired flop, but little incentive to build the pot out of position.

No made hand or draw worth betting; Q-high with backdoor flush draw, checking behind is fine against a checked board.

Queen-high has little showdown value, but this turn offers few strong draws or compelling reasons to bluff. I’ll check and avoid building the pot out of position.

Q-high with no pair or draw on a paired board; checking back is best, no value in betting.

My river pair has some showdown value, but worse hands are unlikely to call a bet often enough to make betting worthwhile.

My hand is just queen-high with no pair or draw, so checking to showdown is best after a checked-down board.

I have 5s Ah, a weak offsuit hand. The small blind has already invested 50 and the big blind 100, so I'm facing a 100 to call with no position and no strong equity. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

With the button folded, completing costs only 50 chips to play heads-up. Despite the weak hand and poor position, the pot odds and lack of rake make a call reasonable.

KJ suited is strong enough to isolate the limping SB with a value raise from the big blind.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to call a 4x raise out of position.

KJo is a strong button opening hand three-handed, so I raise to build the pot and apply pressure to the blinds.

I have 8h-Ad, which is weak offsuit and unsuited. Seat 3 raised to 250 preflop, and seat 1 already folded. Calling 150 more with this hand offers poor pot odds and little equity, so folding is the disciplined play.

I'm on the button with pocket fours; a standard raise builds the pot while keeping it manageable against two opponents.

8h7s is a weak hand that does not play well out of position. Facing a 300 raise after posting 50, I need to call 250 more, which is too expensive for such speculative equity.

5-2 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a three-big-blind raise, even with the small blind's dead money.

I have Jd5d on the button facing a 100bb raise from the BB. This is a weak hand that plays poorly out of position and doesn't justify calling or re-raising.

Pocket tens are strong heads-up against the big blind, so I raise for value rather than complete from out of position.

Q3 offsuit is weak and facing a 3.5bb raise heads-up out of position, folding is correct.

Ace-ten offsuit is strong on the button in a three-handed game. A 2.5-big-blind open raises for value while keeping the pot manageable.

9c4c offsuit is weak, facing a raise out of position; not worth continuing.

Seat 3 opened to 250 with the button, and I only have Jh-Ah offsuit in the blinds with no pair. The pot odds don't justify calling 150 more, and my hand is too weak to continue without position or significant equity.
