Hold'em table

K7s is a playable suited hand from the button, and raising puts pressure on the blinds while allowing me to win the pot preflop. I choose 300 to apply a standard raise and reduce their pot odds.

Facing a button raise with 6-7 offsuit from the small blind, this hand is too weak and dominated to continue out of position, especially with the big blind still to act.

9d3s is a weak hand that does not justify calling a 300 raise from the button, especially when the small blind already folded. Preserving my stack is the best play here.

AJ offsuit is strong on the button in a 3-handed game, so I raise to apply pressure and take initiative rather than just call.

I have 9h8d on the button facing a raise to 300 from the big blind. This is a weak hand that plays poorly out of position, and calling 250 more to see a flop is not justified.

72o is a very weak hand out of position against a preflop raise, and calling 200 more offers poor equity and playability. Folding saves chips.

I'm on the button with Ts3c, a speculative hand that benefits from seeing a flop multiway. Calling 100 chips keeps me in the pot without overcommitting with a weak hand.

Calling 50 more into a 250 pot offers excellent pot odds with a suited queen, and folding would be too weak for a small additional investment.

I am in the big blind with a weak 5s3d, but there is no raise and checking is free to see the flop.

I have only queen-high on a paired king board with three opponents, so checking is the safest way to see the turn without investing more chips.

With 5-high and a paired board, my hand has almost no equity and no immediate draw; checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into two opponents.

The board is paired with two kings and I hold only a weak Ten-high. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a larger pot with a marginal hand.

I have only queen-high with no strong draw, and the paired king board is dangerous against three players. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

I have a weak 5-high with no draw on a paired, coordinated board, so checking controls the pot and avoids investing with negligible equity.

Board is paired Kings with a Jack kicker; my Ts is a weak ten-high that can only beat a bluff. Both opponents checked twice, signaling weakness, so I check to control the pot and avoid building a big bet with a marginal hand.

Our hand has no value beyond the board's pair of kings, and betting into two players on a coordinated river is not worthwhile. Checking avoids risking chips with 5-high.

Board is a Broadway straight with no clear winner; my 3c-Ts is a bluff catcher with no made hand, so checking to see a cheap showdown is the highest-EV play.

J5s is a marginal but playable hand in a blind-vs-blind situation after the button folded. Calling 50 closes the action cheaply, and I can evaluate the flop out of position.

I am in the big blind with Ad Qh and facing no further bet after the small blind called. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids putting money in with a speculative hand that plays poorly multi-way.

I have top pair on a dry flop and only the big blind remains; betting for value and protection is best.

Seat 2 raised to 100 on a dry flop with my backdoor flush draw and overcard. Calling keeps the pot small and preserves my stack while I wait to see if the turn improves my hand.

I have top pair with a flush draw on the turn, so I bet for value and protection against draws.

I have a backdoor flush draw and overcards with 9800 behind, so I'll call the 300 to keep the pot live and see the river without overcommitting. Folding would waste my equity, and raising would isolate me with a marginal hand.

I have a weak high-card hand (Ad-Qh) with no pair or draw on this dry board, and the opponent has shown significant aggression on the flop and turn. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff or realize equity cheaply rather than building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Three-handed on the button, Q8o is strong enough to open for a small raise to apply pressure and take initiative with position. A 2.5bb raise limits risk while giving me a chance to win the blinds preflop or play a controlled pot in position.

I hold 6c Ks, a weak offsuit hand with no pair or suitedness. Facing a raise to 250 with only a 50bb starting stack, the pot odds and hand strength do not justify calling or re-raising.

I'm getting good pot odds in the big blind, and J2o is worth defending against a button raise even though it's weak. Calling keeps the pot manageable while seeing a flop.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a coordinated board, so I check to control the pot and see what the preflop raiser does.

I have position and a gutshot plus overcard on a draw-heavy board; a small continuation bet can take the pot down or set up a turn barrel.

I have top pair with a flush draw, giving me good equity against most hands. Calling keeps the pot manageable while I see the turn.

I have a flush with Qc on a four-club board and position; betting for value against Ax and draws.

Opponent's strong betting line indicates a made hand better than my pair of jacks. Pot odds don't justify calling a large bet with a weak kicker. Folding to preserve chips.

I have Q6o on the button with no position or range advantage; calling 100 into a 150 pot is a weak play, so folding is the most chip-efficient decision.

We have a weak hand but are getting 3:1 pot odds to call and see a flop. The big blind has not raised, so we can see a cheap flop out of position.

With Q6o in the big blind and the small blind having limped, checking is the safest option to see a flop without investing more with a weak offsuit hand.

I have two pair (6s and 3s) on a paired board and likely the best hand. Betting for value and protection against overcards.
