Hold'em table

I have King-high with no pair potential and face a raise to 100 from the BB; folding is the most disciplined play to preserve my stack with a weak offsuit hand.

Completing the small blind is cheap with Q-high against only the big blind, and the pot odds justify seeing a flop despite being out of position.

With J6s and no additional bet to call, checking keeps the pot small while seeing a flop in position. This avoids unnecessary risk against the small blind's completed call.

I have bottom pair with a strong flush and straight draw, so I semi-bluff to build the pot and apply pressure while still having plenty of equity.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a draw-heavy board. Facing a pot-sized bet, calling keeps the pot controlled while avoiding bloating it against stronger Qx or sets.

I have a marginal pair of queens with a weak kicker on a coordinated board. Checking controls the pot and avoids bloating it against a flop raiser who likely has a stronger queen or better.

J5o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling 100 chips out of position against a big blind and small blind is not profitable enough to continue.

I'm getting good pot odds to see a flop heads-up for only 50 more chips, and my hand is weak but playable in position against the big blind. Calling keeps the pot small and avoids unnecessary risk with 4-6 offsuit.

I am in the big blind with a weak Ten-Eight offsuit and no raise to defend against, so checking is the most cost-effective play to see a flop cheaply.

I have no made hand or strong draw on this flop, so I take the free card and keep the pot small.

I have a weak Ten-high on a dry flop with no draws, so I want to see a free card and control the pot size. Checking also keeps my range ambiguous and avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand.

I have no made hand and the pot is small; checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me see the river for free.

Board is paired with top card and two nines; my Tc-8h is weak and unlikely to improve enough to justify a bluff. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand.

The board is paired with 9s and 9d, and my Tc-8h is a weak ten-high that likely loses to any hand containing an Ace or a 9. With no money to call and a weak hand, checking back is the safest play to avoid building a bigger pot I'm likely to lose.

Q8s is playable in position against one blind raise, so calling gives me a cheap flop with decent potential.

4c5c is a weak hand to call a raise with, especially out of position. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

With a weak suited hand in the big blind and only a button limp, checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free flop.

I have a flush draw with Ts5s on a board with two spades, so I'll semi-bluff bet to apply pressure and build the pot in case I hit.

Td4s is a weak offsuit hand with no playability preflop, and I am out of position facing a raise. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Button folded, leaving only the big blind; ATs is strong enough to raise for value and take the initiative.

K2o is a weak offsuit hand that plays poorly postflop, and calling 100 or raising from the button risks chips without enough equity. Folding preserves the stack in a marginal spot.

A5s is strong enough to raise from the small blind against a single opponent, and taking initiative with position is profitable.

4d 9s is a weak offsuit hand that does not justify calling a 200 raise or re-raising from the big blind. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong hand.

KQo is strong from the button, and raising to 300 puts pressure on the blinds while keeping control of the hand.

I have 4s Ts, a weak hand that relies on hitting a flush or straight. Facing a raise to 300 with only 250 to call, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this speculative hand from the small blind.

I have a small pocket pair in the big blind and am getting a reasonable price to call the button's raise. I'll set-mine and evaluate the flop, folding if I miss against continued aggression.

I have an underpair with some showdown value on a low board, but betting into the preflop raiser risks bloating the pot; checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate their action.

C-betting this low flop with two overcards and a backdoor flush draw to apply pressure and take down the pot; 300 is a modest size that folds many unpaired hands.

I have a made pair and am getting over 3:1 on a call; raising with an underpair risks bloating the pot out of position, so I call and reassess on the turn.

I turned a set of fours on a wet board with three diamonds; I lead for value and to charge diamond draws.
