Showdown Hold'em table

65o does not meet the preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is optimal.

With only six-high and no direct draw on a king-jack board, checking is clearly superior to putting more chips in with raise_2x.

I completed a 7-high straight (3-4-5-6-7) on the river, which easily beats the vast majority of dealer hands and pays out on the blind.

K2s falls within the standard optimal 4x preflop raising range (K2s+, K5o+).

J9s is within the optimal preflop 4x raising range (J8s+), so we maximize our edge with raise_4x.

93o is well below the standard preflop raising threshold in Ultimate Texas Hold'em / Showdown Hold'em, making check the optimal EV play.

With only nine-high on an Ac-2s-2h board and no significant draw, checking is clearly superior to raising 2x.

The board has two pair (Aces and Deuces) so the dealer always qualifies; with only a 9 kicker, the player wins only 144 out of 990 dealer combinations, making the 1x raise EV worse than folding.

8c 4s is well below the standard preflop raising threshold in Ultimate Texas Hold'em, making a check the clear optimal play.

Flop gives two pair (nines and fours), which is comfortably ahead of the dealer's random range and warrants a 2x raise.

KJo falls well within the standard preflop 4x raising range (K5o+).

4-3 offsuit is well below the threshold for a preflop 4x raise, so checking to see the flop for free is standard.

Bottom pair of threes with a weak four kicker has insufficient equity to commit a 2x raise on the flop, so checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.

With a pair of threes on an unpaired board, dealer fails to qualify over 42% of the time, guaranteeing a win that easily exceeds the breakeven threshold of 25%.

Pocket jacks are well above the threshold for a preflop 4x raise (pair of 3s or better), maximizing positive expected value against the dealer.

K6s meets the published optimal preflop 4x raising criteria (K2s+), so we maximize our edge with a 4x raise.

94o is well below the standard preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is optimal.

I have three of a kind fours with Q-J kickers, which easily qualifies for a value raise on the river.

J5o is below the standard preflop 4x raising threshold (JTo+, J8s+), so checking to see the flop is optimal.

With only Jack-high and no significant draw on an Ace-King board, checking to see the rest of the runout for free is optimal.

Q6o falls below the standard 4x preflop raising threshold (Q8o+ or Q6s+), so checking is optimal.

With queen-high and no made pair or flush draw on a K-T-2 board, checking is clearly optimal to see the turn and river for free.

We only hold King-high with a Queen kicker on a dry board, which loses to any pair (dealer qualifying) and most unimproved dealer holdings like Ace-high. Folding limits the loss to the initial ante and blind (-20 chips) compared to the additional risk of raising.

K7o falls within the standard optimal 4x preflop raising range of K5o+.

Holding 4c 3s offsuit falls well below the standard 4x preflop raising range, making a free check to see the flop optimal.

J4o falls well below the preflop 4x raise threshold (which requires JTo or J8s+), making check the clear optimal play.

With only Jack-high and no made pair or strong draw on a Queen-high board, checking to see the turn and river for free is the optimal play.
