Showdown Hold'em table

K2 offsuit falls short of the recommended K5o+ threshold, so I check and wait to see the flop instead of committing a preflop raise.

Only bottom pair (2s) with a King kicker on a dry board; not strong enough to commit an extra bet at this street, so I'll check and reassess on the river.

I hold two pair (threes and deuces) with a king kicker, which beats any single pair the dealer might have and stands a good chance against most dealer holdings, so I'll call for value.

K6o just meets the optimal preflop raising threshold (K5o+), so a modest 3x raise is appropriate rather than a full 4x.

King-two offsuit is below the recommended preflop raising range, so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Only a weak bottom pair of twos with a king kicker; better to wait for the river card before committing any raise.

Board is double-paired (5s and 2s), giving me two pair with a king kicker, which beats most dealer holdings that don't include an ace or a stronger made hand—worth the river raise.

Any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x preflop raise per the reference strategy table.

Suited ace (As2s) meets the standard preflop 4x raising range for any ace, especially suited, so raising for value here.

Any ace is a standard 4x raise per optimal preflop strategy, and A-T offsuit clears that threshold comfortably.

3-T offsuit is not in the optimal preflop raise range, so I check and wait to see the flop cheaply.

3-T high with no pair, draw, or connection to the 6-6-7 board; checking to see the river cheaply and preserve the option to fold there if it misses.

The board already pairs sixes, so both dealer and I share that pair; my remaining kickers (T-9-7) are strong enough to beat a random dealer holding on average, making the extra bet worthwhile.

4-7 offsuit doesn't meet any published preflop raising threshold, so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Only bottom pair (fours) with no draw; too weak to raise here, better to see the turn/river for free and decide later.

9-8 offsuit isn't in the published 4x/3x raising range, so I check preflop and wait to see the flop.

No pair yet, only a backdoor flush and inside straight possibilities—too weak to commit the flop raise, better to see the river cheaply.

I have a straight (9-8-7-6-5) using my hole cards with the board, a strong hand worth raising on the river.

6-9 offsuit is well outside the published raise range (needs pair, ace, K2s+/K5o+, Q6s+/Q8o+, J8s+/JTo), so check and see the flop cheaply.

No pair, no draw, and hand is weak against Q-8-A board; checking to see river cheaply.

7-4 offsuit is well below the optimal preflop raising range, so I check and see the flop cheaply.

I've paired sevens with a king kicker on the flop, a solid enough hand to commit the 2x raise now rather than face a forced river decision.

T7 suited is below the published preflop raise thresholds (needs at least J8s or better), so I check and wait to see the flop cheaply.

Only a shared pair of fives with weak T-7 kickers and a slim backdoor flush draw; better to wait for the river with cheaper 1x decision than commit 2x now.

8s3s suited but low, not in the published 4x raise range (K2s+, Q6s+, J8s+, any ace, pairs); checking to see flop cheaply.

No pair, no flush draw, and no real straight potential with 8-3 offsuit on a 9-2-4 board; better to check and see the river for free rather than commit chips now.

Jack-high with no pair and no flush draw realized; standard strategy folds weak river hands against a house dealer that needs only a pair to qualify.

T8 offsuit isn't in the strong preflop raising range (needs ace, pair, suited/offsuit king/queen/jack combos), so I check and wait to see the flop.

I already have a pair of tens with an ace kicker plus two cards to come, which is strong enough to raise on the flop under standard flop strategy.

8-9 offsuit doesn't meet the optimal preflop raise criteria (needs pair, ace, suited king, or better), so check and wait to see the flop.

No pair and only a backdoor flush/gutshot draw with A-K-Q on board; not strong enough to raise, so I check and see the river for free.

3c7s offsuit is far outside the optimal raise range (needs pair, ace, or specific suited/offsuit combos), so check to see the flop cheaply.

3c7s on a K-4-8 board is no pair, no draw; checking to see the river cheaply is best since raising with nothing here is -EV.

3-7 offsuit with board K-4-8-5-Q gives only a king-high hand with no pair, no draw, and no chance to beat a qualifying dealer hand; folding minimizes loss.

6-8 offsuit is well below the optimal preflop raising range (pairs, any ace, suited/offsuit broadways), so checking to see the flop cheaply is correct.

No pair, no draw, and only high card 9; not worth raising with such a weak holding.

Q9 offsuit falls within the Q8o+ range from the optimal preflop 4x table, so raising 4x is correct.

Any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x preflop raise per the published strategy table.

Any ace is in the published optimal 4x raising range preflop.

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

Any ace qualifies for the optimal 4x preflop raise per the reference strategy, so I raise with A8o.

J5s does not meet the published preflop raise thresholds (needs J8s+ for suited jacks), so checking to see the flop cheaply.

Weak unpaired hand with only a backdoor gutshot draw; no reason to commit chips now, better to see the turn and river cards first.

Jd9d suited is within the published J8s+ 4x raising range, so I raise the maximum preflop.

Q7 offsuit falls below the published preflop raise thresholds (needs Q8o+ for offsuit queens), so I check and wait to see the flop.

Top pair of queens with a decent kicker on a fairly dry board is strong enough to raise here.

8-3 offsuit doesn't meet any preflop raising criteria (no pair, no ace, no qualifying king/queen/jack combo), so checking to see the flop cheaply.

No pair and only a backdoor straight possibility with 8-high; not worth committing chips on this flop.

I have a pair of eights with a ten kicker, which is a standard raising hand on the river in Casino Hold'em since dealer's play bet pays even on non-qualifying hands and this beats a good portion of dealer holdings.

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

Ace-Jack suited is a premium preflop hand per the optimal strategy (any ace qualifies for 4x raise), offering strong equity against the dealer's range.

Q9o falls within the published optimal preflop raise range (Q8o+), so raising 4x here is standard strategy.

T8 offsuit is below the published preflop raise thresholds (needs JTo+ or better), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Open-ended straight draw (needs J or 7) with 8 outs after two more community cards, which meets the threshold for betting the flop rather than checking for a smaller river wager.
