Showdown Hold'em table

Any ace is a standard 4x raise per optimal preflop strategy.

3h2h is not in the published preflop raise set (no ace, not suited K2+ or similar), so I check and wait to see the flop.

I hold 3h2h with no pair, no flush draw, and no straight draw against a Q-8-K board; raising here is -EV, so I check and wait for the river decision.

My hand is just ace-high off the board with a totally dead 3h2h, so I can only tie when the dealer misses and lose whenever the dealer pairs the board or picks up a bigger kicker (J or 9) even without qualifying"""; math says folding and giving up the ante/blind beats risking another bet that loses roughly 80% of the time.

Ace-high with any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x raise per the published preflop table.

Any ace is a standard 4x raise per the published preflop strategy table.

Pocket eights is a premium pair that falls in the standard 4x raising range (33+), so I raise full size preflop.

Any ace qualifies for the full 4x raise per optimal preflop strategy; A-T offsuit is a strong value hand against the dealer.

9-3 offsuit is not in the optimal preflop raising range (needs pair, any ace, suited king 2+, offsuit king5+, etc.), so I check and wait to see the flop.

Only a weak pair of nines with a poor kicker; better to check and reassess on the river rather than commit chips now.

Two pair (nines and fives) with a king kicker is a solid holding that beats most dealer hands that qualify, so raising is profitable here.

7-2 offsuit is far below the published preflop raise table threshold, so I check and wait to see the flop.

7-2 offsuit missed the flop completely with no pair, draw, or equity; checking to see the river for free is clearly better than raising 2x with nothing.

My hand is only 8-high with no pair (7h2c against board 8s Kd Jh 8h 5c, best five is just pair of eights kicker... wait, actually I pair with board's 8s/8h giving pair of 8s with K,J,7 kickers), but dealer likely has a qualifying hand and could easily beat a weak pair of 8s with low kicker; folding minimizes loss here since river bet risk outweighs thin equity.

Hole cards are A2 offsuit; the reference strategy raises 4x with any ace preflop.

5-T offsuit isn't in the optimal 4x raising range (no ace, no pair, not qualifying K/Q/J combo), so I check and wait to see the flop.

I have two pair (Tens and Fives) on the flop, a strong made hand that is well ahead of the dealer's qualifying range, so raising for value is correct.

K6o falls within the published preflop raising range (K5o+), so raising 4x is the standard optimal play here.

T9 offsuit is not in the optimal preflop raising range, so I check and wait to see the flop.

I have flopped two pair (tens and nines) with an ace on board, a strong holding worth pressing with the 2x flop raise.

JTo is in the marginal raising range (J8s+ or JTo) per optimal strategy, but it's a weaker holding so a smaller 3x raise limits variance.

8-2 offsuit is far below the optimal 4x raising range, so I check and wait to see the flop cheaply.

8-2 offsuit missed the K-J-9 board entirely with no pair, draw, or significant equity; checking to see the river for free is clearly better than raising 2x with essentially nothing.

Only a weak pair of deuces with marginal kickers; dealer will likely qualify with a better pair or high card combo, so folding minimizes further loss.

5-2 offsuit is not in the published optimal raise set (no ace, no pair, not suited king/queen/jack combos), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

Only a board pair with weak kickers (5-2), not strong enough to raise now; better to see the river for free and decide then.

I have two pair (fours and twos) with a queen kicker, a solid hand that should beat most dealer qualifying hands, so I raise.

6-3 offsuit is well below the optimal 4x raising range (needs pair, ace, suited king, etc.), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

Weak hand with only a backdoor straight draw and 6-high; better to see the turn and river before committing any raise.

My 6d completes a 6-10 straight with the board, a strong hand worth backing on the river.

Any ace is a standard 4x raise per optimal preflop strategy.

King-six suited falls within the published preflop raising range (K2s+), so raising 4x ante is optimal per the reference strategy.

9h6h suited is not strong enough per the optimal preflop raising table; better to check and see the flop cheaply.

I have no pair and no real draw against a paired board, so I check and wait to see the river before committing more chips.

QTo falls within the optimal preflop 4x raising range (Q8o+), so I raise 4x per the reference strategy.

Pocket kings are a premium preflop hand (33+ qualifies), so max raise 4x is optimal per reference strategy.

K9 offsuit falls within the K5o+ range in the optimal preflop raise table, so raising 4x is the standard play.

T9 suited isn't part of the optimal preflop raise range (pairs, any ace, suited/offsuit broadways), so I check and wait to see the flop before committing chips.

Flopped two pair (tens and nines) plus a diamond draw, well ahead of a typical dealer qualifying hand, so raising for value here.

5s-Ts suited is not in the optimal 4x raise range (no ace, not K/Q/J suited high, not pair), so checking to see the flop is correct.

I have two pair (tens and eights) on the flop, a strong holding worth raising now before the river-only raise restriction.

QTo falls within the Q8o+ range of the published preflop 4x raising table, so I raise 4x.

Pocket aces are the strongest possible starting hand, warranting the maximum preflop raise of 4x ante for maximum value.

Q6 offsuit doesn't meet the preflop raise criteria (needs Q8o+ or K5o+), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Queen-high with no pair or draw; better to check and reassess on the river than commit a raise now.

My 6c combines with four clubs on the board to make a flush, a strong river hand worth raising.

T7 offsuit is below the published preflop raise threshold, so checking preserves value for a flop decision.

Top pair of tens on the flop is a strong holding against a two-card dealer hand, so raising 2x here is the standard profitable play.

78o is not strong enough for a preflop raise per the optimal 4x guidelines, so I check and wait to see the flop.

I have flopped two pair (eights and sevens) on a Js-8s-7h board, a strong made hand well ahead of the dealer's qualifying range, so I raise.

Q-J offsuit meets the Q8o+ raising threshold; a 3x raise captures value without overcommitting on a marginal hand.
