Showdown Hold'em table

82o=8s8d not on the 4x table; 3x is marginally better than 4x for medium pairs per published strategy; check is dominated since folding on river wastes the ante+blind.

Q4o misses the published 4x/3x raise table (needs Q8o+ offsuit), so checking keeps the ante at risk and lets flop/river decisions decide.

Q4o with only a pair of fours on a K-high board is too weak to risk 2x; check and evaluate the river.

My 4h makes trip fours (board has only one 4), losing only to dealer holdings containing a K, A, or 4 — roughly 22 of 990 combos. Raising 1x is overwhelmingly plus EV versus folding.

8c3d is far below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking keeps the ante at risk with a chance to raise later if the flop improves.

8c3d on A-3-K gives only a weak pair of threes with little equity; raising 2x would risk 20 more chips with a marginal hand, so checking and deciding on the river is better.

My pair of threes beats every non-qualifying dealer hand (~46%), and raising risks only 10 more versus a guaranteed -20 fold; EV of raising (~-11) clearly beats folding (-20).

7-9 offsuit is well below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking to see the flop minimizes risk.

Open-ended straight draw (any J or 6 gives a straight) plus a pair of 7s gives plenty of equity versus the dealer's random hand; the 2x flop raise is profitable with 8 outers plus pairs.

JTo is on the published optimal 4x preflop raise table (J8s+ or JTo), so raising 4x maximizes EV here.

K9 offsuit is above the published 4x raise threshold (K5o+), so raising 4x preflop is optimal.

56s is well below the published 4x/3x range (33+, any ace, K2s+, etc.), so checking and evaluating the flop is optimal; folding is never correct when checking is free.

4h6h on T95 is a weak hand with only a gutshot/backdoor flush draw; raising 2x would risk 20 more chips with poor equity, so checking to see the river cheaply is correct.

A pair of tens on the river beats many dealer holdings, and folding surrenders the full 20 already posted; raising 1x risks only 10 more with positive showdown equity versus the dealer's random holding.

Any ace is in the published 4x preflop raise range; betting the maximum ante multiple maximizes value against the qualifying dealer.

Any ace is in the published 3x/4x raising range; A4o is a standard 3x raise since it lacks the strength for 4x.

3-2 offsuit is at the very bottom of the range; checking keeps flop options open rather than investing 3-4 antes with a hopeless hand.

2c3h picked up an open-ended straight draw (any 6 or 8), but with no made hand and dealer qualification risk, raising 2x is -EV; checking keeps the river decision cheap.

My pair of sevens beats every unpaired dealer hand (which then fails to qualify), losing only to a dealer 6, 7, or hole pair 88+. Raising 1x has EV ~ +11 chips versus folding for -20.

T5 offsuit is far below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking to see a cheap flop is optimal.

Td5h missed the flop with no pair or strong draw; raising 2x would be a large negative-EV bluff, so I check and decide on the river.

The board's trip nines mean the dealer always qualifies, and I only win if both dealer hole cards are 5 or lower (~12%), making the 1x raise's EV (~-24) worse than folding (-20).

64s is far below the published 4x/3x raising range (33+, aces, K/Q/J suited thresholds), so checking preserves the cheap flop option.

64s on an A-6-2 flop has only a weak gutshot and no made hand; raising 2x would put 20 more chips at risk with little equity, so checking and deciding on the river is better.

I hold a pair of sixes; folding surrenders 20 chips for sure, while a 1x raise keeps the ante in play and wins whenever the dealer fails to pair or holds a smaller pair, which is positive EV versus folding.

8c2c is far below the published 3x/4x preflop raising criteria, so checking preserves the option to raise 2x on the flop if the board connects.

8c2c on A-6-7 is very weak; only backdoor club and gutshot equity, so checking keeps the river decision cheap rather than committing 20 chips.

I hold a pair of sixes with an ace kicker; raising 1x risks only 10 more versus folding 20, and wins whenever the dealer fails to qualify or holds a weaker pair.

A6s meets the published optimal 4x raising range (any ace), so raising four times the ante maximizes expected value versus checking.

Q7s meets the published 4x raising range (Q6s+ suited), so raising maximum preflop is optimal.

J6o misses the published 4x/3x range (needs J8s+ or JTo qualify), so checking keeps options open; on the flop I can still 2x if I pair the ace/king texture favorably or pick a good spot.

Middle pair of jacks on a J-high flop is well above the 2x raise threshold; raising now maximizes EV versus checking and risking a marginal river decision.

T9 offsuit is well below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking is optimal preflop.

T9o on a 4-5-8 board has only a gutshot and weak showdown value; raising 2x would put 30 more chips at risk with a marginal hand, so checking to decide cheaply on the river is better.

I hold a pair of 4s; folding surrenders 20 chips for certain, while a 1x raise keeps the ante and blind in play and often beats a non-qualifying dealer or lower pair.

Ace-high with a ten is well above the 4x raise threshold (any ace) in the published preflop table; raising maximizes EV versus checking.

Any ace is in the published preflop 4x raise table; Ac2s qualifies, so taking the aggressive line maximizes EV versus the house.

Any ace is in the published optimal 4x raise table; raising 4x preflop with A2o maximizes EV versus checking.

K2 offsuit is below the published 4x raise threshold (K5o+), so checking is optimal; the flop decision comes later.

K2 with an open-ended draw to a five-high straight (any A or 6 plus 2 pairs are weak); 2x raise with such a marginal made hand has negative EV — checking keeps the river decision cheap.

King-high on a paired board loses to nearly every dealer holding; raising adds 10 to lose 30 when the dealer qualifies, and the ~10% no-qualify win doesn't offset that, so folding (-20) beats raising (~-26).

9c4c is far below the published 3x/4x raise range (needs K-high or better suited, pairs, aces), so checking to see a cheap flop is optimal.

Open-ended straight draw (any 7 or 8) with two cards to come gives ~31% equity, enough to justify the 2x raise versus folding; a made straight also unlocks blind value.

9-3 offsuit is far below the 4x/3x raising range, so checking to see a cheap flop is optimal.

Bottom pair of threes with no draws; raising 2x here is far too thin, so check and decide on the river.

Folding surrenders 20 chips for sure; my pair of sixes wins often enough against the dealer's random holding that risking 10 more has higher EV than folding.

Q5s is just below the optimal preflop raise range (Q6s+), so checking and deciding on the flop has the best expected value.

Queen-high flush draw plus straight outs gives enough equity against the dealer's random holding to justify the 2x flop raise rather than checking back.

5-6 offsuit is well below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking keeps the flop option open with a weak speculative hand.

I only hold a weak pair of fives with a poor kicker; raising 2x here risks 20 more chips on a marginal made hand, so I check and re-evaluate on the river where I can raise 1x or fold cheaply.

I hold a pair of fives, which beats the dealer's non-qualifying holdings outright and only risks one extra ante; folding surrenders 20 chips for sure, while raising has better expected value with any made pair.

4-3 offsuit is far below the 3x/4x raising range; checking keeps the ante at risk with a cheap flop decision instead.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker on a dry board; checking keeps the option to raise 1x on the river only when it's clearly profitable, avoiding 2x risk now.

My pair of threes beats all dealer non-qualifying high-card hands (~half of holdings), so raising 1x loses only 10 more in the worst case versus a guaranteed -20 fold; the raise EV is clearly better.

9-4 offsuit is far below the published 3x/4x raising range, so checking to see the flop is clearly best; folding isn't available preflop.

9-4 offsuit has almost no equity against a qualifying dealer range; raising 2x here is clearly -EV, so I keep the pot small and re-evaluate on the river.

My board-bolstered pair of nines is strong enough that raising 1x beats folding under the published river strategy; folding surrenders ante and blind with a hand that often wins or pushes.

Pocket deuces fall below the published 4x/3x raising range (33+), so checking keeps the ante at risk only and preserves flop/river decision options.

Middle set on an open-ended board; raising 2x maximizes value before the river and locks the ante against a suit-completing runout.

T5 offsuit is well below the published 4x/3x raising range (needs K5o+ or better), so checking to see the flop minimizes risk with a weak hand.

T5 with no pair or real draw on Q93; raising 2x here is a clear negative-EV bluff against a dealer who needs only a pair to qualify. Check and re-evaluate on the river.

My best hand is a pair of threes with a queen kicker; most dealer holdings that qualify beat it, so raising 1x adds risk with little equity. Folding saves the extra bet.

75o is far below the 3x/4x raise range, but folding preflop is dominated by checking since I keep the flop raise option and can still fold on the river for less risk.

5-7 high with no draws is a hopeless flop; raising 2x only adds a second ante to an almost surely losing hand, so checking keeps the river fold option cheap.

The board is unpaired, so the dealer qualifies only ~8% of the time; my Q-J-8-7-5 beats the board whenever the dealer doesn't hold an ace or king. Raising costs about 2 chips in expectation versus folding for a guaranteed -20.
