Hold'em table

Ad7c is a weak hand (ace-seven offsuit) out of position on the button facing a big blind raise. Folding is prudent to avoid playing a marginal holding against likely better hands.

Getting 3:1 pot odds with only the big blind left to act, T3o is weak but cheap enough to see a flop; raising risks too much with a marginal hand out of position.

Check the big blind with a weak, dominated hand rather than inflate a heads-up pot out of position.

I have a weak T-high hand on a K-high flop with no club draw, and the big blind can easily have a pair or better. Checking controls the pot and avoids risking chips as a bluff into an unknown range.

Betting our pair of eights for value and protection against overcards and draws in this heads-up limped pot.

I have ten-high with no pair or draw on a king-high flop and face a bet, so continuing would be unprofitable.

AKs is a premium three-handed hand; raising to 300 applies pressure and builds the pot with strong equity against the blinds.

A suited ace is worth defending from the small blind versus a button min-raise in this deep-stacked three-handed spot.

2-7 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. With a 3x raise from seat_2 and a call from seat_3, folding is the correct play to preserve chips.

Ace-high has some showdown value but little equity to build a pot on this board, which strongly favors the preflop raiser. Checking preserves flexibility.

I have two overcards plus a gutshot on a draw-heavy board, and my opponent checked to me. A continuation bet applies pressure and can take down the pot or set up a strong turn barrel.

Ace-high with no heart has very little equity against a substantial continuation bet on this coordinated board. Folding avoids continuing with a weak, mostly unplayable hand.

T7 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering with at this depth absent reads.

K9o is a reasonable hand in late position with only one opponent. Raising to 300 (3x BB) applies pressure, increases fold equity, and builds the pot with a playable holding against a single opponent.

With 5h3c out of position against a small-blind raise, the hand has very poor equity and playability. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a weak offsuit holding.

With pocket 2s from the button, I have a small pocket pair with reasonable equity. Raising to 3x the big blind (300 chips) puts pressure on the opponents, gives me the initiative, and allows me to take down the pot preflop or proceed to the flop in position where I can realize my equity effectively.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x button open heads-up out of position.

On the button with a playable offsuit connector, I will open-raise to apply pressure and take the initiative with position.

A♥T♥ is a strong suited ace versus a button open, and a substantial small-blind 3-bet applies pressure while avoiding a weak multiway flat.

J3o is a weak hand that doesn't warrant calling 900 chips (9% of stack) against aggressive multi-way action. Seat 2's raise and seat 3's re-raise indicate strong holdings; folding preserves my stack for better spots.

I have position and only need to call 700 more into a 1400 pot with a speculative suited/connected hand. Folding is too tight against a small-blind 3-bet, and 4-betting 89o would be an unnecessary bluff at this stack depth.

Betting top pair with the ace kicker for value and protection on this coordinated two-spade flop. A smaller continuation bet keeps worse hands and draws in.

Call 700 with an 8-out double-gutter straight draw and backdoor flush, getting 4:1 with position. Raising risks getting reraised, while calling lets me realize equity and evaluate the turn.

Betting for value and protection with top pair and an ace kicker against draws and weaker pairs. The paired turn is unlikely to have improved the caller often enough to justify checking.

3-2 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter against both blinds at this stack depth.

With pocket nines in the small blind after the button folded, I'm in a strong position against the big blind. Raising to 300 applies pressure and builds the pot with a hand that's likely ahead of the big blind's random range.

Q3o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability and is often dominated; folding avoids investing more chips against a 3bb small-blind raise.
