Hold'em table

Q8o is a playable button open in three-handed poker with position, so I raise to 2.5bb rather than limp or fold a marginal steal.

My hand (6s 2d) is extremely weak and unsuited. Facing a raise to 250 with only 150 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this garbage hand.

T3o offsuit is weak and not worth investing from the button facing a raise-like situation; folding preserves chips.

I have a strong hand with Ace-high and a Queen kicker. I'll raise to 300 to build the pot and put pressure on the big blind who has already invested 100.

75o is too weak to continue against a 3bb raise heads-up; the hand has poor equity and no playability, so folding is the highest-EV option.

I have Ad3d on the button with no action yet. The blinds are small relative to my stack, so I'll fold this weak suited hand preflop to preserve chips.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Q9o is playable enough to complete for 50 into a 150 pot rather than fold.

I'm in the big blind with 9c7d, no raise to face, checking to see a free flop against just one limper.

I have a weak pair of nines on an ace-high flop against the big blind, so I check to control the pot and see the turn cheaply.

I have middle pair (9s) with a decent kicker on a dry-ish board; opponent's check suggests weakness, so a small value/protection bet makes sense.

Middle pair with a queen kicker gets a good price against a small flop bet from a wide checked big-blind range, and raising is too thin with an ace on board.

Turn gives me queens and nines, a strong value hand against an ace or weaker pair. I bet about two-thirds pot to get called by worse while building the pot.

My pair of nines with a weak kicker is unlikely to be good against a bet after seat_1 called my flop raise and then led out big on the turn's overcard; folding avoids bleeding chips into a stronger range.

K2 offsuit is too weak and easily dominated to open from the button, so folding preserves the stack.

Pocket 88 is strong heads-up against just the BB after the button folded; raising to isolate and build the pot for value.

Ac-2h is a weak hand with no pair and poor playability. Facing a 200 chip raise from the small blind, folding minimizes losses with this speculative hand.

T9 suited is a decent hand to open from the button; raising to 250 builds the pot with position advantage.

I have 5h2h, a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position. The raiser has 250 invested and I only have 50, so calling 200 more is too expensive for such a marginal hand.

K9o is a borderline defend, but the button's 2.5bb open should be wide in three-handed play and the price is only 150 into 400. Calling keeps the pot small and realizes enough equity to continue.

King-high with no pair or draw on a paired flop is too weak to lead into the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what seat 2 does.

I hold a strong combo draw (flush draw plus gutshot straight outs) and I'm the preflop aggressor against a check, so a continuation bet applies pressure and builds the pot for my equity.

King-nine offsuit has no pair and no draw on this paired flop, so calling a continuation bet is unprofitable.

I have Jc Tc, a strong suited connector. The pot is 150 with 100bb effective stacks. I'll raise to 300 to build the pot and isolate the blinds.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a preflop raise, so folding is the highest-EV option.

K2 offsuit is weak; facing a raise with a fold already, not worth calling out of position.
