Showdown Hold'em table

K9 offsuit is inside the published optimal 4x range (K5o+), so the max preflop raise is the highest-EV play.

Pocket threes fall within the published optimal 4x range (33+), so raising 4x preflop maximizes expected value. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

4-2 offsuit is far outside the optimal 4x raise range, so I check preflop and keep the option to raise on the flop or river.

I have a pair of deuces on the flop, and basic Casino Hold'em strategy raises 2x with any pair or better. The raise is marginal but should be slightly positive in expectation against the house.

6-9 offsuit is well outside the optimal 4x range (33+, any ace, K5o+, Q8o+, J8s+), so I check and see the flop, where a raise_2x is still available if it improves.

Bottom pair of nines is a made hand against the house dealer. Basic Casino Hold'em flop strategy raises with any pair, so I take the 2x raise.

2c3d offsuit is far outside the optimal 4x range, so checking preflop keeps the risk small and lets me see the flop before deciding on a 2x raise or another check.

Bottom pair of twos on a K-J-2 flop loses to nearly any dealer pair, and a dealer without a pair does not qualify. A 2x raise looks negative in expectation, so I check and keep the river option.

I have a pair of twos with K-J-8 kickers. The dealer beats this about 57% of the time, so raising loses about 13 chips on average against 20 for a fold.

3-9 offsuit is far outside the published optimal 4x range (no ace, no K, weak Q/J), so I check preflop and keep the option to raise 2x on the flop if it connects.

Holding 3h 9s on a Qs 5h Ts flop gives only nine-high with no pair and no strong draw, so a 2x raise would be negative EV; checking costs nothing and keeps the option to fold or raise on the river.

I hold only queen-high with no pair or draw completed. Any dealer pair beats me, and ace-high or king-high beats me when the dealer fails to qualify. My estimated EV for raising is about -23 chips versus -20 for folding, so I fold.

Q2 offsuit is outside the optimal 4x range (Q8o+ needed), so I check preflop and keep the risk small to see the flop.

The board pair of 5s means the dealer always qualifies. My Q-high kicker loses to any dealer pocket pair, any 4, and any ace or king, so I'm well under 50% and a 2x raise is -EV. I'll check and see the river.

I hold a pair of fives with an ace kicker, and the dealer always qualifies because the board is paired. Folding loses 20 for certain. Raising only risks 10 more, and the raise pays off whenever my chance of losing is below about 80%. It is well below that, so I raise.

Any ace is in the published optimal 4x preflop range, and A3 suited also has flush potential, so raising 4x maximizes expected value. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

K8 offsuit falls within the published optimal 4x range (K5o+), so a 4x raise preflop is the highest-EV play.

9c6h offsuit is outside the optimal 4x range (no ace, no pair, weak kickers), so I check preflop and keep the option to raise 2x on the flop if it improves.

Pair of sixes plus a gutshot straight draw (any 8) is well ahead of a random dealer hand, and the flop raise is standard with any pair, so the 2x raise has positive expectation.

Q3 offsuit is below the optimal 4x table (Q8o+ needed), and a 3x raise is not warranted either, so checking preflop and seeing the flop is the better play.

I hold an open-ended straight draw (A or 6) with only queen-high otherwise. A 2x raise now puts 20 more at risk on roughly a 40% win chance, so I check and keep the option to raise 1x on the river if I hit or fold if I miss.

3h-Qd with the board makes a 2-3-4-5-6 straight, which beats most dealer hands. Only a 7-high straight, a flush or a full house beats it, so raising 1x has clearly positive expected value.

K2 suited is in the published optimal 4x preflop raise range (K2s+), so I raise 4x.

Pocket kings are well inside the optimal 4x range (33+), so the maximum preflop raise is clearly the highest-EV play. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

T8 offsuit is outside the optimal 4x range (needs J8s+ or JTo, Q8o+ for the queen-high cases), so I check preflop and see the flop at no extra cost. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

Pair of tens on a Q-T-7 flop is a made pair that beats many dealer holdings, and flop strategy for this game raises with any pair, so the 2x raise is the better play over checking.

A4o is an ace-high hand, and the published optimal 4x range includes any ace, so a 4x preflop raise is the standard play. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

Pocket nines are inside the published optimal 4x range (33+), so the maximum preflop raise has the best expected value. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

K7 offsuit is inside the published optimal 4x range (K5o+), so raising 4x is the highest-EV preflop play. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

T6 offsuit is outside the optimal 4x range (T-high is below J8s+/JTo), so I check preflop and keep the option to raise 2x on the flop or 1x on the river.

I hold a flopped full house, sixes full of tens, which is very strong against the dealer. Raising 2x on the flop maximizes value.

K2 offsuit falls outside the 4x range (K2s+ or K5o+), so I check and see the flop before deciding on a 2x raise.

King-high with no pair and no real draw on a 3-8-T flop is too weak to risk a 2x raise. Checking keeps the option to fold or raise 1x on the river.

Kc-2s plays as king-high on 3-8-T-4-9. A raise loses to any dealer pair or straight, which is about 65% of dealer hands, and to dealer ace-high or a better king-high. My rough estimate puts a raise at about -21 chips against -20 for folding, so folding is marginally better.

4-2 offsuit is far outside the optimal 4x raise range, so I check and see the flop for free, keeping the option to raise 2x if the board helps.

Bottom pair of deuces plus a four-card spade flush draw (4s with Ks 2s 9s on board) is a clear flop raise in Casino Hold'em strategy. It also carries blind-bonus upside if the flush completes.

2-4 offsuit is a weak hand outside the optimal 4x raise range, so I check and keep the option to raise on the flop or river.

A pair of deuces on the flop is a made hand, and standard Casino Hold'em flop strategy raises 2x with any pair or better. The dealer must also qualify to pay the ante.

Chat is off, so the message is empty. Pocket deuces fall below the published 4x range of 33+, so I check preflop and keep the option to raise 2x on the flop.

Pocket deuces are an underpair to the jack and eight on a J-8-4 board. The dealer's pair of jacks, eights or fours, or any higher pocket pair, beats it, so a 2x raise has marginal or negative value. Checking keeps the cheap 1x river decision available.

My pair of deuces only wins when the dealer fails to qualify, about 24% of the time, and ties about 9% when the dealer holds a deuce. Raising comes to roughly -17.7 chips against -20 for folding, so the raise is slightly better.

Queen-Jack offsuit is inside the published optimal 4x range (Q8o+), so the maximum preflop raise is correct.

A7o is an ace-high hand, and the published optimal 4x table includes any ace, so a 4x preflop raise is the standard play.

K5 suited is inside the published optimal 4x range (K2s+ or K5o+), so a 4x preflop raise is the standard play.

K9 offsuit falls inside the published optimal 4x range (K5o+), so a 4x preflop raise is the highest-EV play.

J9 suited falls within the published optimal 4x range (J8s+), so the 4x raise has the highest expected value.

Any ace is in the published optimal 4x preflop range for Casino Hold'em, so A3 offsuit is a 4x raise. Chat is off, so the table message is empty.

8-6 offsuit is well outside the optimal 4x range (K5o+, Q8o+, etc.), so I check to see the flop and keep the money at risk small.

Flopped trip eights (8h with 8d 8c on board), a very strong hand against the dealer, so raising 2x on the flop maximizes expected value.

K2 offsuit falls outside the published optimal 4x range (K5o+), so I check and keep the flop and river options open.

King-high with no pair and only weak backdoor draws on a 5-J-T flop is below the flop raise threshold, so I check and keep the river decision.

I hold a pair of deuces with a king kicker. I estimate the dealer beats me about 60% of the time, but the dealer often fails to qualify. Raising is roughly -1.3 ante in expectation versus -2 for folding, so raising is better.
