Showdown Hold'em table

Pocket tens (33+) is in the published optimal 4x raise range preflop, so raise the maximum now.

7s4s is not in the published raise range (not a suited king or better, no pair, no ace), so I check preflop and wait to see the flop.

Only a backdoor flush draw with 7-high; not strong enough to commit 2x, better to see more cards cheaply.

River board shows no pair for me (K-high with weak 7 kicker) and no draw completed; folding avoids risking additional chips on a hand unlikely to beat a qualifying dealer.

9-3 offsuit is well outside the optimal preflop raise range, so check and wait to see the flop.

9-high with no pair or draw on a K-T-4 board is too weak to raise; checking preserves the option to fold cheaply on the river.

My hand is Ace-King-high (A-K-T-9-7) with no pair, which is strong enough as a river call in Casino Hold'em since it beats a large share of dealer holdings that don't qualify or are weaker high-card hands.

9-5 offsuit isn't in the optimal 4x/3x raising range, so I check preflop and wait to see the flop.

Two pair (queens and nines) on the flop is a strong holding worth committing to before the river-only fold decision.

Q5 offsuit doesn't meet the published preflop raising criteria (needs Q6s+ or Q8o+), so checking to see the flop cheaply.

Qc5s on a 6h-Tc-2d board is just queen-high with no pair, draw, or real equity; better to check and wait for the river decision rather than commit a flop raise.

Only king-high with no pair, straight, or flush; standard river strategy folds hands below ace-high strength against the dealer's range.

Any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x preflop raise per the reference strategy table.

2h-Tc is not in the optimal preflop raise range (no pair, no ace, not qualifying king/queen/jack combo), so I check and wait to see the flop.

I have only a weak kicker (2h,Tc) with no pair beyond the board's kings, no draw, so raising here is -EV; better to check and see the river cheaply.

King-six offsuit falls within the K5o+ range flagged for a raise in the reference preflop chart, so I take the smaller 3x sizing given its middling strength.

KTo falls within the published optimal preflop raising range (K5o+), so raise 4x for maximum EV.

K2 offsuit is below the recommended preflop raising threshold (K5o+ needed for offsuit kings), so I check and wait to see the flop.

Bottom pair of deuces with a King kicker is a marginal but positive-EV bet per standard flop strategy tables, since the King kicker gives good equity against dealer non-pairing hands and ties with lower kickers.

5-9 offsuit doesn't meet any raising threshold (no pair, ace, suited king, or qualifying queen/jack), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Only a middling pair of nines with a king kicker; better to wait for the river card before committing any raise.

I have a made pair (nines) with strong kickers (A,K), which is enough to profitably raise on the river against the dealer's random two cards.

Suited connector JTs falls within the optimal preflop raising range, warranting a raise rather than a check.

Any ace qualifies for the 4x raise per the published preflop strategy; As6s also carries flush/straight potential.

8-9 offsuit is below the published optimal 4x raise threshold (needs suited connectors like J8s+ or similar), so I check preflop and wait to see the flop before committing chips.

I have a pair of 8s with an open-ended straight draw (7 or J completes it) using 8-9-T, giving strong equity to raise here.

J7 offsuit is below the optimal preflop raise threshold (needs J8s+ or JTo), so I check and wait to see the flop.

I already have a pair of sevens on the flop, which is enough to raise for value at 2x rather than waiting to bet only 1x on the river.

T8 offsuit doesn't meet the preflop raise criteria (no ace, no qualifying K/Q/J hand), so I check and wait to see the flop.

Ace-high board with no pair, no draw, and weak kickers (8-T offsuit); checking to see the river cheaply rather than committing a raise.

I hold two pair (aces and tens) with a queen kicker, a strong holding that should beat most dealer hands, so I raise.

KQ offsuit falls within the published optimal preflop raising range (K5o+), so raising 4x is the correct standard play.

9-5 offsuit doesn't meet any preflop raise criteria (not a pair, ace, suited king, etc.), so I check and wait to see the flop.

9-high with no pair, draw, or connection to the board; checking to the river is far cheaper than raising 2x with essentially no equity.

J4 offsuit doesn't meet the optimal 4x/3x raising criteria (needs J8s+ or JTo+), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

No made hand yet, just a backdoor flush draw with the Js and two board spades; better to see the river before committing any raise.

Board pairs sixes and my Jack outkicks the highest unpaired board card (Ten), giving a favorable kicker matchup against the dealer's random hand, so I'll bet.

T6 offsuit is well below the published preflop raising range (33+, any ace, K2s+/K5o+, Q6s+/Q8o+, J8s+/JTo), so checking to see the flop cheaply is optimal.

Just ten-high with only a gutshot straight draw and no pair; not strong enough to commit a flop raise, so I check to see the river cheaply.

I hold a pair of tens with the board pairing my hole card; this beats many non-qualifying or weaker dealer hands, so raising is +EV per standard Casino Hold'em strategy.

J5 offsuit doesn't meet the raise thresholds (needs J8s+ or JTo), so checking to see the flop cheaply.

Jack-high with no pair or draw on a 2-4-7 board; not worth committing chips now, better to see the river cheaply.

Board pairs the Queens giving me trip-strength via QQ with J-7-5 kickers, a solid holding that clears standard call thresholds against the dealer's qualifying range.

Any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x raise per the published preflop table, so I raise with A2s.

6-5 offsuit is below the optimal preflop raising threshold, so I check and wait to see the flop cheaply.

I already have a made pair (sixes) on the flop, which meets the standard threshold for raising in this spot rather than waiting for the river.

Any ace qualifies for the 4x raise per the published optimal preflop strategy, and A9 suited has good equity/flush potential.

4-5 offsuit is not in the published optimal raise range, so check and see the flop for free.

Only an open-ended straight draw with no pair or overcards; better to preserve the option to fold cheaply on the river than commit a 2x raise now.

Board pairs Kings and my hole cards (4h5s) contribute no improvement, so my kickers are just the board's Q-7-6; the dealer almost always qualifies with this shared pair and will often have a better kicker, making this a clear fold.

Q4 suited doesn't meet the published preflop raising thresholds (needs K2s+/Q6s+ etc.), so I check and wait to see the flop.

Only a low kicker-pair (board 9s) with a backdoor flush draw; not strong enough to commit the 2x raise, better to see the river cheaply.

Board pairs the 9s and I hold Q high with A-K on board, giving me the best possible one-pair hand (9,9,A,K,Q); dealer can only beat this with two pair or better or tie with a Q, so raising is clearly profitable.

Q4 suited doesn't meet the raise threshold (needs Q6s+ or Q8o+), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

No pair, no real draw (just a backdoor flush chance) with Q-4 on a 6-9-8 board, so checking to see the river cheaply is correct.

I have a made pair of fours with a queen kicker, which is enough of a hand to warrant the river bet against the dealer's range.

2h8d is a weak offsuit hand outside the optimal raise range, so checking to see the flop cheaply is best.

8-high with no pair or draw on this flop; not worth committing chips, better to see the river for free and reassess.

J5 offsuit is well below the recommended preflop raising range (need J8s+ or JTo for a jack), so I check and wait to see the flop.

J-5 offsuit with no pair or draw on this board; better to check and reassess on the river rather than commit a raise now.

Q-J high with no pair, but board is unpaired and dry; this beats a large share of dealer holdings that miss or fail to qualify, so the standard Casino Hold'em river strategy calls for betting rather than folding.

K7 offsuit falls within the published optimal preflop raising range (K5o+), so raising 4x is the standard play here on the final hand.
