Hold'em table

A6 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A modest raise applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

AQ offsuit is a strong hand; 3-betting the button's open isolates and builds the pot with good equity.

Seat 2's 900 raise is a strong signal, but my J9s has playability. A 2500 raise puts pressure on their range and builds the pot with position.

A6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large 4-bet after the small blind and big blind both showed substantial strength. Calling out of position relative to the big blind risks too much with poor playability.

Ace-high with a kicker is a solid button opening hand; raise to build the pot and take initiative against the blinds.

Seat 2 raised to 250 and I only have 6s9s in the small blind. Calling 200 more with this weak suited hand is too expensive; folding preserves my stack.

QJs is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button min-raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while preserving position-independent value postflop.

I have no pair or strong draw on a king-high flop, so I’ll take the free option and avoid building a pot out of position.

As preflop raiser on a King-high board, I'll continuation bet with ace-high to apply pressure after my opponent checked, representing strength and picking up the pot if they missed.

Q-high has no pair, flush draw, or meaningful straight draw, and my overcard outs may be unreliable against the flop bet. I fold rather than continue without sufficient equity.

Kc4d is a weak offsuit hand with limited playability, and I am out of position on the button facing a 100 big blind raise. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

With the button folded, completing from the small blind is inexpensive and J-high has enough equity against the big blind's wide range to continue.

I'm the big blind with a weak hand (2s8s) and no raise to face, so I check for free and see the flop cheaply.

I have a weak pair on a coordinated, two-diamond flop, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a pot against stronger hands or draws.

I only have bottom pair with a weak kicker on an ace-high board; no need to bet, just see a free card.

I have a weak pair with limited value to gain from betting, and checking keeps the pot small while preserving showdown value.

I have no pair or draw worth betting; checking it back to showdown cheaply with weak holding is best.

I have only a weak pair of twos, and betting is unlikely to get called by worse hands. I’ll take the free showdown after the opponent checked through.

I have two pair (8s and 2s) but there's no information suggesting I can get value from a bet after a full check-down; checking avoids risk of a raise.

With the button and a cheap price, 6-5 offsuit is playable as a limp; raising would be unnecessary with this weak hand.

T4 offsuit is a weak hand; facing a call from the button and needing to put in more chips from the small blind, folding is best.

I am in the big blind with 3h 7c and no one has raised, so checking is the correct play to see a flop cheaply. I will keep my options open and decide post-flop.

I have 3h7c, a weak hand on a Q-5-K board. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet with little equity.

I have a weak bottom pair on a king-high board, so betting is unlikely to get called by worse hands. I’ll take the free turn card and avoid inflating the pot.

My 3h7c is weak and disconnected from the Q-5-K-9 board; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have a weak pair and can take a free card/showdown; betting is unlikely to get enough better hands to fold.

I have 3h7c which missed the board entirely, and seat_1 has been checking passively through the streets. With no showdown value and a weak hand, checking to see a cheap showdown is the best play here.

I have a modest two pair, but a river bet is unlikely to be called by worse after the opponent has repeatedly indicated they will check it down. Checking secures showdown without risking a raise from a stronger hand.

K7 offsuit from the button facing a limp and blind is too weak to continue profitably in a 3-handed pot with no fold equity gained.

9h6s is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position, and I'm only getting 3:1 on a call that's still a significant fold equity loss against a big blind. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Ah3s is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and I'm out of position on the button facing a 100 big blind raise. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

KJs is a strong heads-up hand from the small blind. Raise for value and initiative rather than invite a cheap flop out of position.

K5 offsuit facing a 3bb raise heads-up out of position isn't worth defending; folding preserves chips.
