Hold'em table

Raise the button with AQ offsuit for value and initiative against the blinds.

43o is a very weak offsuit hand in the small blind facing a button raise; folding avoids paying 200 more out of position with poor equity.

Q7o is a weak hand in a raised pot heads-up, and folding preserves chips against a likely stronger opponent holding.

2s4c is a very weak offsuit hand from the button, and calling 100 chips out of position against two players is not profitable. Folding avoids unnecessary risk with a hand that has poor playability and equity.

9s7s is a weak hand in a 3-handed game. With only 50 invested and facing a 100-chip big blind bet, folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginal hand out of position postflop.

2s-Ad is a weak hand with low pair potential and bad kicker. In a 3-player game facing a big blind bet with antes, folding is the correct play against the small blind raise and big blind's opening bet.

Q9 suited is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind holding and benefits from applying pressure preflop.

Closing the action with 3:1 pot odds and position, 79o has enough equity against a likely wide small-blind open to call; 3-betting a weak offsuit hand would risk too much.

I have a strong queen-high flush draw plus some pair and straight-related equity on this ace-high board. A moderate continuation bet can fold out missed hands while building a pot when called.

I have 9-high with no pair or draw on an ace-high flop, and calling 400 into 1000 offers poor equity against a preflop raiser who continued. Folding preserves chips.

Button opening range should be wide three-handed, and the ace blocker plus positional advantage makes this a profitable steal attempt.

A8s has good equity against a button open in a 3-handed game; calling 200 into 400 gives 3:1 odds and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

6-Ten offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise and call; folding preserves chips with poor equity against two opponents' likely stronger holdings.

I flopped top pair with an ace and want to extract value from worse aces, king-high hands, and diamond draws while denying a free card. A 2/3-pot bet is a standard protection/value sizing.

Call with top pair in position against a single flop bet, keeping weaker aces and bluffs in while avoiding an unnecessary large pot with a marginal kicker.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a draw-heavy board. Betting for value and protection is best, as checking would give a free card to flush draws or weaker hands.

Top pair has sufficient showdown value against possible diamond draws and weaker aces. Raising would mostly isolate against stronger aces and two-pair-plus hands.

We have top pair and can extract value from weaker aces and kings after the river check. A moderate sizing targets those bluff-catchers while limiting exposure to flushes and stronger two-pair holdings.

I have top pair with an ace and only need about 16% equity to call the small river bet. Opponent's line can include missed draws or weaker kings, so folding is too tight, while raising risks running into two pair or a completed draw.

A7o on the button in a 3-handed game is strong enough to open for value and take initiative. Raising to 300 pressures the blinds and can win the pot preflop or isolate weaker hands.

9-10 offsuit is a weak hand from the small blind facing a 3x raise. With no premium holdings and two opponents still involved, folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

6-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button 3x open out of position.

Pocket queens is a strong hand preflop. I'm raising to 600 chips (6BB) to build the pot and extract value from weaker hands while taking control of the initiative. This is a standard aggressive raise from the button with premium hole cards.

K5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 6bb button open with the big blind still behind.

Q4o is too weak to defend out of position against a 6bb button raise, so folding preserves chips.
