Hold'em table

I have 6d As, a weak offsuit hand on the button with two players posting blinds. Folding preflop is the safest play to preserve my stack against the blinds' range.

AQ offsuit is a strong hand heads-up against the BB after button folded; raise for value and to build the pot.

J9 offsuit has enough playability to defend from the big blind heads-up, and calling keeps the pot manageable against the small blind’s sizable raise.

Dry paired board favors the preflop raiser; a small c-bet applies pressure and likely takes it down given opponent's wide calling range.

J-high has no pair or meaningful draw on this paired, low flop, and calling would require substantial equity against the small blind’s bet. Fold rather than continue with weak overcards.

A8 offsuit from the button is a reasonable raising hand against two players who have only limped/blinded in; a standard 3x open builds the pot with positional advantage.

96 suited is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

I have QJs, a playable hand, and the pot odds justify calling the 200 to see a flop. Seat 3 folded, so I'm heads-up against the button's raise.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw with Qh Js on a Kh 2d 7d board. Checking allows me to see a free card and potentially improve without risking more chips on a marginal hand.

I have ace-high with no pair on a dry king-high board; a c-bet here can take down the pot since villain checked, and I retain some equity with overcard outs if called.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot with QJs on K-2-7d. Calling 350 keeps the pot manageable and preserves equity without overcommitting to a weak made hand.

Board is dry with no flush or straight draws; checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big bet behind a weak Q-high. I'll let seat_2 act first on the turn and reassess after seeing their action.

I only have ace-high with no pair or draw; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free river card.

Board is unpaired and dry with no flush or straight draws completed; my Q-high with a backdoor spade draw is weak, and checking lets me realize equity cheaply and potentially induce a bluff from seat_2 on the river.

I only have ace-high with no pair or draw; no reason to bet into a hand that called a flop raise, so I check back.

K4 offsuit is marginal, but from the button three-handed it is playable as an open-raise and can win the blinds. I choose a modest 2.5x raise rather than commit more with a weak king.

Seat 3 opened to 250 with Js, and I only have 2hJs on the button. The pot odds don't justify calling 200 with a weak hand, so folding is the disciplined choice.

2s8s offsuit is weak; facing a raise heads-up out of position isn't worth defending here.

6-5 offsuit is a weak hand with poor equity, and calling 100 into a 150 pot from the button is not profitable. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

T4o offsuit is weak heads-up vs BB with only one limper folded; not worth completing.

In 3-handed play, button can profitably open a wide range including offsuit kings; raising applies pressure on both blinds.

9♥6♠ is a weak offsuit hand out of position, and calling leaves the big blind an inexpensive chance to enter as well. Fold rather than defend against the button raise.

With Q8o on the button facing a 250 raise after the BB, the pot odds don't justify continuing with this weak hand. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

Seat 3 opened to 250 with KdJd, a playable but vulnerable hand. I'll raise to 500 to isolate the opener, build the pot, and leverage position while keeping the BB's weak range in check.

Facing a raise and a 3-bet with weak offsuit king, not worth continuing given reverse implied odds and two aggressive players.

The small 3-bet gives me a favorable price, and I can continue in position with an ace. Calling keeps the pot manageable with a weak kicker.

The pot is 1100 with no bet to call, so checking is the correct play to control the pot and keep the opponent's range wide. My KdJd is a decent flop but vulnerable to overcards and sets, so I'll take a free card and reassess on the turn.

I have a weak pair with a strong kicker, but the preflop 3-bettor can have many stronger hands. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize my showdown value.

Board is disconnected with no obvious draws; checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to induce a bluff or control the pot on the river.

I have a weak pair but useful straight-draw equity, and checking takes a free river while avoiding a raise from stronger hands.

Board is paired with a J on the river and I hold Jd for top pair, but the opponent checked twice so they likely have a weak hand or a bluff; checking to induce a bluff or take a free showdown is best with no raise threat.

I have a modest showdown hand with two pair, jacks and threes, but a bet is unlikely to get called by worse. I’ll take the free showdown.
