Action timeline
Model's stated reason
7-3 offsuit is far below the preflop raise standard, so I check to see a cheap flop and evaluate with better information.
Model's stated reason
Hole cards 2c6s are weak and not in the optimal preflop raising range. Checking to see the flop for free is the correct move.
Model's stated reason
4s5h is too weak to raise 4x or 3x preflop, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.
Model's stated reason
I have no made hand and only a weak gutshot straight draw, so raising 2x is not profitable. I'll check and evaluate the turn/river before deciding whether to continue.
Model's stated reason
K9 suited is well within the optimal 4x preflop raise range as a king-high suited hand, so I put in the maximum raise to maximize expected value.
Model's stated reason
I have no made hand and only weak backdoor draws, so raising now risks too much. Checking keeps the option to fold on the river if the board does not improve.
Model's stated reason
QJo is a strong hand well within the optimal preflop raising range, so I raise the maximum to build the pot with positive expectation.
Model's stated reason
2h5d is well below the preflop raising standards, so checking keeps the hand cheap and preserves the option to raise on a favorable flop.
Model's stated reason
The hand is very weak with only a gutshot straight draw and no pair, so it is not worth raising 2x on the flop. Checking keeps the additional play bet at risk only if the river improves the hand.
Model's stated reason
Pocket sevens are well above the preflop raise threshold of 33+, so raising 4x maximizes expected value.
Model's stated reason
6-2 suited is not in the optimal 4x raise range, so I check to see the flop cheaply.
Model's stated reason
We have trips kings on board. The dealer can only beat us with a full house (any pocket pair or a 7/9 in the hole), which occurs about 34% of the time; otherwise we tie. Folding loses 20 chips, while raising risks 30 but ties 65.6% of the time, yielding a better expected loss (-10.33 vs -20).
Model's stated reason
4h6s is below the preflop raising threshold, so checking lets me see the flop cheaply and decide later.
Model's stated reason
Holding only 4-6 with no pair or draw on a T-8-3 board, raising 2x has strongly negative expectation. Checking keeps the option to fold on the river unless the hand improves.
Model's stated reason
My hand is 7s Tc with a board of Js Qc 2d As 7c, giving me only a pair of sevens. The dealer likely has at least a pair or better, and my weak pair is unlikely to win, so folding minimizes losses.
Model's stated reason
KJ suited is a strong starting hand and falls within the optimal 4x raise range, so raising maximizes expected value.
Model's stated reason
2s4d is far below the preflop raising range, so checking keeps the hand cheap and preserves the option to evaluate the flop.
Model's stated reason
J4 offsuit is not in the optimal 4x raise range, so checking is correct.
Model's stated reason
I only have J-high with a backdoor flush draw and no made hand, so raising 2x is too risky. I'll check and re-evaluate on the river.
Model's stated reason
J-high is extremely weak on this board, and the dealer is likely to have at least a pair. Raising would risk extra chips with very low expected value, so folding is correct.
Model's stated reason
Ace-high with any ace is a preflop raise per the optimal 4x strategy table, and A4s has sufficient equity against the dealer's qualifying range to justify the maximum raise.
Model's stated reason
K6s is within the optimal 4x raise range (K2s+), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.
Model's stated reason
4-6 offsuit is too weak to raise preflop, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide based on the community cards.
Model's stated reason
7d4s is a weak offsuit hand well below the 4x raise range; checking keeps the option to evaluate the flop and avoids committing extra chips with poor equity.
Model's stated reason
My hand is only 7-high with no draw on a coordinated board, so raising 2x would risk extra chips with very low equity. I'll check and decide on the river, folding unless I improve to at least a pair.
Model's stated reason
My best hand is only a pair of kings using the board, and any dealer card ten or higher or any pair beats or ties me. With no realistic winning outs, folding loses less than calling.
Model's stated reason
A-J offsuit is a strong starting hand and any ace is in the optimal 4x raise range, so I raise the maximum to build the pot while retaining a solid equity edge.
Model's stated reason
KJo is a strong hand that meets the optimal 4x raise criteria, so raising maximizes expected value.
Model's stated reason
2h6s is a weak offsuit hand well below the preflop raise threshold, so checking preserves chips while allowing a cheap look at the flop.
Model's stated reason
This hand has no made hand and only weak overcard/pair potential, so committing a 2x raise now is poor value. Checking keeps the option to fold on the river if the hand does not improve.
Model's stated reason
I have two pair (sixes and twos), which is a strong hand on the river. Raising 1x is the optimal play as it has positive expected value against the dealer's random holding.
Model's stated reason
Hand is weak (2d9c offsuit) and not in the optimal 4x raise range, so checking to see the flop is the correct play.
Model's stated reason
K9s is a suited king and qualifies for the optimal 4x preflop raising range, so I raise for value.
Model's stated reason
J-7 with no pair and no strong draw is too weak to raise 2x on this flop. Checking keeps the option to fold on the river if the hand does not improve.
Model's stated reason
J6s is not in the optimal 4x raise range, so I check to see the flop cheaply and preserve chips with only 4 hands remaining.
Model's stated reason
7-9 offsuit is below the optimal preflop raise table, so checking preserves the option to raise on the flop if the board improves the hand.
Model's stated reason
Holding 7s9h with a K-high flop is weak; the dealer likely has many better hands, so I avoid risking an extra 2x bet and keep the option to fold on the river if the board does not improve.
Model's stated reason
Pocket fours are within the optimal preflop raising range, so I raise 4x to maximize expected value.
Model's stated reason
4s6s is not in the optimal preflop raising range, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.
Model's stated reason
I have two pair on the flop, which is strong enough to raise for value against the dealer. Raising now maximizes expected chips when my hand holds up.
