Hold'em table

I'm on the button with pocket 8s, a decent hand; raising to 300 builds the pot while isolating the blinds.

62 suited is too weak to continue against a button open to 3bb in the small blind; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

T4o is far too weak to defend the big blind against a 3x button raise, especially out of position with poor implied odds and high domination risk. Folding is clearly best.

T7s is playable from the button in three-handed, so I open to 2.5bb to take the initiative with position rather than limp or fold.

Pocket sixes set-mine at a good price against a wide button open; calling 200 into a 400 pot keeps the pot small while giving me implied odds to flop a set, and I can fold cheaply when I miss.

23o is a weak hand facing a raise and a call; folding is correct to avoid investing more chips with poor equity.

I have complete air on a monotone flop, but as the preflop raiser a small c-bet can take the pot down against a check.

On the button three-handed, I can open wide for position and fold equity; T5o is marginal but plays fine in position against two blinds, so a standard 3x steal is better than folding or limping.

Q7 offsuit is weak; facing a raise from the button with poor implied odds, folding is standard.

J2s is too weak to continue out of position against a 3x button open; it is often dominated and does not realize equity well enough to justify the call.

I'm on the button with Ace-nine offsuit; a standard raise to isolate the blinds and take advantage of position is appropriate.

9-5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, especially out of position from the small blind. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

J4 offsuit is one of the worst hands to defend the big blind with — dominated by any better jack, no suited potential, and poor playability postflop. Calling 150 into a button raise with this hand loses more than it saves in the long run.

On the button with 98o in a three-handed game, a small open takes the initiative and uses position against the blinds.

98 offsuit from the small blind is far too weak to call 200 more out of position against a button raise, and 3-betting it would be a losing bluff with poor equity. Folding is clearly the profitable play.

KJ offsuit is a decent hand heads-up against a button raise; calling the extra 150 is cheap and keeps pot control.

I have KJ high with no pair on a dry Ace-high flop; checking to control pot size and see how seat_2 acts.

I have no made hand or draw, but as the preflop raiser on a dry ace-high flop I can take a cheap stab after the big blind checks. A small bet of 200 pressures a wide calling range and risks little if called.

I have king-high with no pair or draw on an ace-high board; not worth continuing against a bet.

Eight-six offsuit is too weak to open even from the button three-handed, and limping into two blinds with a dominated hand has little upside. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Heads-up now with A5o; a standard raise from the small blind applies pressure on the big blind.

Nine-three offsuit is too weak to continue against a small-blind raise, even heads-up. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, poorly connected hand.
