Showdown Hold'em table

3-4 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x raise range (33+, any ace, K2s+/K5o+, Q6s+/Q8o+, J8s+/JTo), so checking is correct to see the flop cheaply.

I have two pair, which is strong enough to raise for value on the flop. Raising now secures a larger play bet while my hand is likely ahead of the dealer.

T6s is not in the optimal 4x raise range and is a weak hand, so checking is the best play to see the flop cheaply.

J5s is a marginal suited hand that is not strong enough to commit a large preflop raise. Checking keeps the option to raise on a favorable flop or fold cheaply if the board misses.

8s4s is a marginal suited hand with no pair and no high-card strength, so it is not worth a preflop raise. Checking lets me see the flop cheaply and decide whether to continue.

My hand is weak with no made hand or meaningful draw on this flop, so I check to see the turn and river before risking more chips.

J9 offsuit is below the published optimal 4x preflop raising range, so checking keeps the hand cheap while preserving the option to raise on the flop if the board improves it.

4s6s suited is below the preflop 4x raise table, so raising now risks too much for a marginal hand. Checking preserves the option to raise on a favorable flop or fold on the river, limiting losses.

Any ace is a raise per optimal preflop strategy.

QTo is within the optimal preflop raise range (Q8o or better), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.

T-4 suited is not strong enough to raise preflop; checking keeps the option to raise on the flop if the board improves the hand.

I only have king-high with a backdoor flush draw and no made hand, so I preserve the option to raise or fold on the river rather than committing 2x now.

Ace-King suited is a premium hand and qualifies as a raise under the optimal preflop strategy, so I put in the maximum allowed bet to build the pot while holding significant equity.

KJs is in the optimal 4x raise range per the reference table, and it's a strong suited hand with straight and flush potential.

Pocket queens are a premium hand and well above the preflop raise threshold, so I maximize expected value by raising the maximum 4x ante.

KQ offsuit is well within the optimal 4x preflop raising range (K5o or better), so I raise the maximum to build value while maintaining a strong hand against the dealer.

8-3 offsuit is not in the optimal 4x raise range, and it's weak. I'll check to see the flop and decide later.

I have only 8-high with no meaningful draw on a K-A-6 board, so raising 2x risks too much with very low equity. Checking preserves the option to fold on the river and limits my loss to the ante and blind.

8-4 offsuit is not in the optimal 4x raise range, so I check to see the flop cheaply.

My hand is only 8-high with no pair and no flush draw on a three-diamond board, so raising 2x has poor expected value. I check and will decide on the river.

Q8 offsuit is in the optimal preflop raise range, so this is a clear value raise before the flop.

J9 suited is within the optimal preflop raise range (J8s+), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.

J2o is not in the optimal preflop raising range, so checking is the best way to see the flop cheaply and decide later.

We have two pair (7s and 4s) with a jack kicker, which is a strong hand on this board. The dealer needs at least a pair to qualify, and we likely beat many dealer hands, so raising 1x is the correct play.

Q2 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x preflop raise table, so checking sees the flop cheaply while preserving the option to raise later if the board improves.

With two pair, queens and nines, I beat roughly 47% of dealer holdings while the board guarantees the dealer qualifies. Raising has better expected value than folding, which would lose the ante and blind.

Ace-high with any ace is a raise-4x hand per the optimal preflop strategy, and this hand qualifies even with a weak kicker.

J3 offsuit is too weak to raise preflop, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.

I have a pair of threes with a flush draw and a straight draw, giving me a strong hand to raise on the flop.

J5 offsuit is not in the optimal 4x raising range, so I check to see the flop cheaply.

J3o is a weak offsuit hand below the preflop raising threshold, so checking keeps the cost low and allows a possible raise on a favorable flop.

Pair of threes is in the optimal preflop raise range (33+), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.

8-5 suited is below the preflop raising tables, so it is better to avoid additional risk and keep future street options open.

Pocket fives are within the optimal 4x preflop raising range (33+), so I raise to maximize expected value.

Q6 offsuit is below the optimal preflop raise threshold, so checking keeps the hand cheap and preserves the option to raise on the flop if the board improves.
