Showdown Hold'em table

7d4c is a weak offsuit hand not on the optimal 4x/3x raise list, so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

Weak unconnected hand (7-4) with no pair or draw on this flop; checking to see the river cheaply rather than committing chips now.

No pair, no draw completed; hand is just king-high with weak kickers, not worth the river bet.

Pocket pair 33+ is in the published optimal preflop raise range, so raise 4x with 77.

7-6 offsuit doesn't meet any published optimal 4x/3x raising criteria (no ace, not suited K/Q/J combo, not paired), so check and see the flop.

I have a pair of sevens with a decent kicker; standard strategy is to press with any made pair rather than let the hand run for free.

T5 offsuit doesn't meet the published preflop raising thresholds (pairs, aces, suited/offsuit kings-queens-jacks in range), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

No pair, no draw, and only ten-high; checking to see the river cheaply rather than committing more chips.

K9 offsuit falls within the recommended preflop raising range (K5o+), so I raise 4x per optimal strategy.

Q9 suited falls within the optimal preflop raising range (Q6s+), but it's a marginal suited hand rather than a premium one, so I raise 3x rather than 4x.

Q7 offsuit doesn't meet the optimal 4x/3x raising thresholds (needs suited K2s+, Q8s+, or offsuit ace/K5+/Q8+), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

I have two pair (sevens and sixes) with a queen kicker, a strong made hand on this board, so I raise to build the pot.

T3s is not in the optimal preflop raising range (needs pair, ace, suited king, suited/offsuit queen or jack combos), so check and wait to see the flop.

Top pair of tens on the flop is strong enough to raise now rather than wait, per standard flop strategy for this game.

Q4 offsuit isn't in the optimal preflop raising range (needs ace, K2s+/K5o+, Q6s+/Q8o+, J8s+/JTo, or pair), so I check and wait for the flop.

Q4 offsuit missed the 8-7-6 board with no pair or draw, so checking to see the river cheaply is best.

I have a made pair of sixes with a queen kicker; standard house-hold'em river strategy is to bet any made pair since the dealer often fails to qualify or has a weaker holding.

T3 offsuit is well outside the optimal 4x/3x raising range (only pairs, aces, suited K2+, K5o+, Q6s+/Q8o+, J8s+/JTo qualify), so I check and wait to see the flop cheaply.

3c-Ts with board 7d Jc 7h gives just Jack-high with no pair, draw, or made hand; not strong enough to raise, so check and see the river cheaply.

I hold a pair of sevens with strong kickers on the board, which is generally profitable to play against the dealer's qualifying range.

Ace-suited (As2s) is in the published optimal raise range for any ace, so raise 4x preflop.

9-4 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x raising range, so checking to see the flop is correct.

Top pair of nines on the flop is generally profitable to raise against the dealer's range, even with a weak kicker, per standard flop strategy.

Ace-high (A2 offsuit) qualifies as 'any ace' in the optimal preflop 4x raising table, so raise 4x here.

4-9 offsuit is well outside the recommended preflop raising range, so checking to see the flop cheaply is optimal.

Hole cards 4c9c with board Qd3cJs give no pair, draw, or strong equity; checking preserves the option to fold cheaply on the river rather than committing 2x with a weak hand.

Only Q-high with no pair, no draws completed; this is too weak to profitably call the river bet against a dealer hand that qualifies with pair or better.

Pocket pair 33+ is in the optimal raise range preflop, so raise 4x with 99.

J5 offsuit is well below the preflop raising thresholds (need any ace, K5o+, Q8o+, J8o+, or pairs), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

Jack-high with no pair and only a backdoor flush draw; not strong enough to raise, so I check and wait to see the river before committing more chips.

Q2 offsuit is not in the published optimal 4x/3x raising range, so I check preflop and wait to see the flop.

I have a four-card diamond flush draw (Qd with three diamonds on board) plus a live overcard, giving strong equity for the double-up bet.

K-T suited falls within the optimal preflop raising range (K2s+), and it's strong enough to merit the full 4x raise.

Q8 suited qualifies as a marginal raising hand per the standard strategy chart; raising 3x preserves value while limiting exposure on a weaker suited hand.

JTo falls within the published optimal 4x raise range (J8s+ or JTo), so I raise preflop rather than checking to the flop.

3d7s offsuit is not in the optimal 4x/3x raising range, so check and see the flop for free.

Weak unpaired hand with only a single gutshot draw; not worth raising 2x, better to see the river for free.

J6 suited doesn't meet the optimal 4x/3x raising thresholds (need J8s+ or JTo, K2s+, any ace, or pairs), so checking to see the flop cheaply.

No pair and only a backdoor diamond draw with K-high board; not strong enough to raise, so I check to see the river cheaply.

I have two pair (Jacks and Sevens) with a King kicker, a strong made hand that beats most dealer holdings, so I'll raise the river bet.

K6 offsuit falls within the K5o+ range from the published optimal preflop raise table, so raising 4x is correct.

Any ace is in the published optimal preflop 4x raising range, so I raise 4x with Ah4s.

Q3 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x raise thresholds (needs Q6s+ or Q8o+), so I check and wait to see the flop.

No pair or draw with 3h Qd on a K-6-2 board; checking to see the river before committing more chips.

I have a 2-3-4-5-6 straight using the board and my 3h; this is a strong river hand worth raising.

3-9 offsuit is not a premium preflop hand per the reference table, so I check and wait to see the flop before committing chips.

3-9 offsuit with no pair, draw, or connection to the 8-5-J board; checking to see the river cheaply rather than committing more chips with such a weak holding.

River hand is only jack-high with no pair or draw; folding avoids doubling down on a hand almost certain to lose to a qualifying dealer holding.

3c6h offsuit is well outside the optimal preflop raise range, so check to see the flop cheaply.

Only bottom pair (3s) with a weak kicker; not strong enough to commit an extra bet here, better to see the river before deciding.

K2 offsuit falls below the recommended preflop raising range (needs K5o+ or suited K2s+), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Top pair Kings on the flop is strong enough to raise; dealer needs at least a better kicker pair or two pair to beat it.

T9o is not in the optimal 4x raise range; better to check and see the flop cheaply.

I hold a pair of nines with a ten kicker on a dry 2-3-9 board, which is strong enough to raise now rather than risk a weaker river decision.

K7 suited qualifies under the K2s+ rule, so I raise 3x with this modest suited king rather than checking blind.
