Showdown Hold'em table

5s 4c is well below the preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is optimal.

We have an open-ended straight draw on a paired flop; checking preserves equity and allows a free look at the turn and river.

The board has three twos and an eight; my five kicker cannot beat any dealer holding since any lower rank pairs the board or gives the dealer quads/full house. I cannot win this hand and can only lose an additional bet by calling.

J4o falls below the standard preflop raising threshold (J8s+, JTo), so checking to see the flop is optimal.

With only Jack-high and no made pair or strong draw on a 7-3-2 rainbow board, checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.

With only Jack-high and negligible draw equity on an Ace-high board, checking to see the turn and river for free is optimal.

Our hand is only Ace-high with a Jack kicker on an Ace-high board, which loses to almost all dealer holdings including any pair, any Q or K, and any higher kicker.

Q3o is below the standard preflop 4x raising range of Q8o+ or Q6s+, so checking to see the flop is optimal.

With only Queen-high and no meaningful draw on an 8-9-4 board, checking is clearly superior to raising 2x.

With a low four-to-a-flush draw and no high-card equity or pair, checking to see the turn and river for free is standard to preserve chips when missing.

We made two pair (sixes and fours) on the river, which comfortably beats all of the dealer's unpaired holdings.

5h-3h is suited but too low to meet the optimal preflop raising criteria, so checking to see a free flop is standard.

Dealer fails to qualify ~39.7% of the time on this uncoordinated board. When the dealer does not qualify and has Ten-high or lower (220 combinations), we win the play bet, making raising 1x higher EV (-18.45 chips) than folding (-20 chips).

With only Queen-high and no pair or significant draw on a 9s-3d-8s board, checking to see the river for free is the standard optimal play.

The board is paired with Jacks so the dealer automatically qualifies, and our Queen kicker with board pair gives very low showdown equity against the dealer's range.

Ace-King offsuit is a premium starting hand and comfortably meets the preflop 4x raise threshold (any Ace).

T2o does not meet the preflop 4x raising threshold (pairs 33+, any Ace, K5o+, Q8o+, JTo, etc.), so checking to see the flop is optimal.

With only ten-high and no direct pair or strong draw on an ace-queen high flop, checking is clearly optimal.
