Action timeline
Model's stated reason
K9o is within the standard preflop 4x raising range (which includes any K5o+).
Model's stated reason
Pocket threes meet the standard optimal preflop 4x raise threshold (33+).
Model's stated reason
4s 2c is well below the preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see a free flop is the standard play.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a weak kicker is not strong enough to commit 2x on the flop; checking to see the full board is standard.
Model's stated reason
With only a pair of deuces on a four-flush board, the dealer qualifies and beats us far too often to justify calling the 1x play bet.
Model's stated reason
96o does not meet the preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Holding bottom pair with a weak kicker on a coordinated board does not warrant a 2x flop bet, so checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.
Model's stated reason
We have a pair of nines, which easily beats all non-qualifying dealer holdings as well as lower pairs, making a 1x river raise clearly profitable over folding.
Model's stated reason
2c-3d is well below the standard preflop 4x raise threshold, making check the optimal play.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a 3 kicker is too weak to commit a 2x raise on the flop, so checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Holding bottom pair on an unpaired board beats all dealer non-qualifying hands, giving sufficient equity to justify the 1x play bet over folding.
Model's stated reason
93o is not in the standard preflop 4x raising range, so checking to see the flop for free is optimal.
Model's stated reason
With 9-high and only weak runner/gutshot draws on a Q-T-5 board, checking to see the full board for free is clearly superior to raising 2x.
Model's stated reason
With only queen-high and no pair, we lose an extra bet whenever the dealer qualifies and beat very few non-qualifying hands, making a fold higher EV than raising.
Model's stated reason
Q2o is well below the standard preflop 4x raising threshold of Q8o+ or Q6s+, so checking to see a free flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Holding Queen-high with only a gutshot straight draw on a paired flop does not meet the threshold for a 2x raise, so checking to see the full board is optimal.
Model's stated reason
The board has a pair of fives, so the dealer qualifies automatically. With only queen-high (Q-2) playing the board's pair, our win rate is well below the 20% needed to justify a 1x raise over folding.
Model's stated reason
A3s is part of the standard preflop 4x raising range (any ace).
Model's stated reason
K8o is well above the K5o+ threshold in the standard optimal 4x raising strategy against the house dealer.
Model's stated reason
9c 6h is an unsuited low connector well below the 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is standard.
Model's stated reason
Holding bottom pair with an inside straight draw on a board of T-7-6, checking allows us to see the turn and river for free without committing a 2x raise.
Model's stated reason
We hold two pair (sevens and sixes with a jack kicker), which easily exceeds the threshold required to raise 1x against the dealer's random holding on the river.
Model's stated reason
Q3o is below the threshold for a preflop 4x raise (Q8o+ / Q6s+), so checking to see the flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Flopping an open-ended straight draw (2-3-4-5) provides strong equity to warrant a 2x raise.
Model's stated reason
K2s falls within the standard optimal 4x preflop raising range (K2s+, any Ace, 33+).
Model's stated reason
Pocket kings are a premium starting hand well above the standard 33+ threshold for raising 4x preflop.
Model's stated reason
T8o does not meet the standard preflop 4x raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Holding middle pair of tens on a Qd-Ts-7c flop gives sufficient equity against the dealer's random range to commit a 2x play bet now.
Model's stated reason
Any Ace is an optimal 4x raise preflop in Ultimate Texas Hold'em strategy.
Model's stated reason
Pocket nines are comfortably within the optimal preflop 4x raising range (pairs 33 and higher).
Model's stated reason
K7o meets the standard preflop 4x raise threshold (K5o+).
Model's stated reason
T6o does not meet the preflop raising threshold (optimal 4x range starts at J8s+, JTo, Q6s+, Q8o+, etc.), so checking to see the flop is standard.
Model's stated reason
Flopped a full house (sixes full of tens), which is an extremely strong hand that clearly warrants an immediate raise.

K2o is below the optimal 4x raising threshold of K5o+, so checking to see the flop is the standard play.
Model's stated reason
With King-high and no pair or significant draw on a 3-8-T board, checking is clearly superior to committing a 2x raise.
Model's stated reason
With only King-high and a deuce kicker on an unpaired board, dealer will qualify with a pair or better roughly 75% of the time, costing an extra bet, and even when dealer does not qualify, Ace-high hands beat us.
Model's stated reason
4-2 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x preflop raising threshold, so checking to see the flop is standard.
Model's stated reason
With bottom pair of deuces, a weak four kicker, and a 4-high flush draw where dealer flushes will dominate, checking is better than raising 2x.
Model's stated reason
With a pair of deuces combining with the board's pair of nines to make two pair, we beat all of the dealer's unpaired holdings, well exceeding the 20% win-rate threshold needed to bet 1x.
Model's stated reason
4-2 offsuit is well outside the standard preflop raising range, making check the clear optimal play.
Model's stated reason
Holding bottom pair with a weak four kicker on a high board (K-J-2) is not strong enough to commit a 2x raise; checking to see the river is standard.
Model's stated reason
Holding a pair of deuces gives a winning showdown whenever the dealer fails to qualify with high card (around 39% of dealer holdings), yielding a significantly higher expected value than folding.
Model's stated reason
Pocket twos fall just below the standard preflop 4x raise threshold of 33+, so checking to see the flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Pocket deuces are an underpair to the entire board (J-8-4), so checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Dealer qualifies on any pair or straight, leaving only 240 out of 990 non-qualifying holdings. Raising 1x has an EV of approximately -20.27 chips, which is worse than folding for -20 chips.
Model's stated reason

Model's stated reason

Model's stated reason
K2o does not meet the standard preflop 4x raising threshold of K5o+, so checking is optimal.
Model's stated reason
With King-high and no pair or significant draw on a J-T-5 board, checking to see the remaining cards for free is optimal.
