Action timeline

Model's stated reason

Pocket tens are well above the preflop raise threshold and have strong equity against the dealer, so I maximize expected value by raising 4x now.

Model's stated reason

7s4s is a weak suited hand not in the preflop raise range; checking keeps the option to raise on a favorable flop or fold cheaply on the river.

Model's stated reason

I have no made hand and only a weak backdoor flush/straight possibility, so raising 2x risks too much with poor equity. Checking lets me see the turn and river and decide whether to raise or fold on the river.

Model's stated reason

9s3c is a weak offsuit hand well below the optimal 4x/3x raise threshold, so checking preserves the option to evaluate the flop cheaply.

Model's stated reason

We have no made hand and only a weak runner-runner straight draw, so checking is best to see the river and decide whether to fold or raise.

Model's stated reason

9-5 offsuit is below the preflop raising standard, so checking keeps the hand cheap and preserves the option to raise on the flop if it improves.

Model's stated reason

I have two pair (Queens and Nines) on the flop, which is strong enough to raise 2x to maximize expected value.

Model's stated reason

Ace-high with any ace is a strong preflop raising hand according to the optimal 4x strategy, and A5 offsuit qualifies. Raising 4x maximizes expected value against the dealer's qualifying requirements.

Model's stated reason

T2o is below the standard 4x preflop raise range, so checking preflop preserves the option to continue on a favorable flop or fold cheaply later.

Model's stated reason

The board is paired with kings and my ten kicker is weak; raising 2x risks too much against a likely dealer pair or better. Checking keeps the option to fold on the river if the dealer shows strength.

Model's stated reason

K6 offsuit is above the K5o+ threshold in the optimal preflop raise table, so raising 4x is the correct play.

Model's stated reason

KTo is in the optimal preflop raise range (K5o+), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.

Model's stated reason

5c9o is below the preflop raise threshold, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.

Model's stated reason

JTs is well within the published optimal 4x preflop raise range (J8s+), so I value raise with this suited connector.

Model's stated reason

As6s is any ace, which is in the published optimal 4x preflop raising range, so I raise the maximum to build value while the hand is strong enough to play aggressively.

Model's stated reason

I have no made hand and only a weak draw on this flop. Checking keeps my option to fold on the river if I fail to improve, rather than committing a 2x raise with a marginal hand.

Model's stated reason

My pair of aces is too weak on this paired board; any dealer pair or a kicker above 8 beats me, and I only win against dealer no-pair low cards. Raising has negative expectation versus folding, so I fold.

Model's stated reason

KQ offsuit is within the optimal 4x raise range per the preflop table, offering strong high-card and straight potential. Raising maximizes expected value against the dealer's qualifying requirements.

Model's stated reason

9-5 offsuit is below the optimal preflop raise threshold, so checking preserves the option to evaluate the flop cheaply.

Model's stated reason

Weak hand with no pair and only backdoor draws; check to see the turn and river for free, likely fold on the river if unimproved.

Model's stated reason

My hand is 9-5 with no pair and no draw on a board with a pair of threes and two overcards. The dealer qualifies with any pair, and I have very low equity against a qualifying hand, so calling the extra 10 chips is not profitable.

Model's stated reason

J4o is too weak to raise preflop; checking keeps the cost low and allows a decision after the flop.

Model's stated reason

I only have a backdoor flush/straight draw and no pair, so this hand is too weak to raise 2x on the flop. Checking keeps my option to fold or make a smaller river raise if I improve.

Model's stated reason

T6o is below the preflop raise threshold, so checking keeps the hand cheap and preserves the option to raise on the flop if the board improves.

Model's stated reason

J5o is not in the preflop raise range (needs at least J8s or JTo), so I check to see the flop cheaply.

Model's stated reason

My hand is only Jack-high with no pair, and the board has a pair of Queens, so the dealer likely qualifies and beats me. Folding loses only the ante and blind, minimizing my loss.

Model's stated reason

Ace-high suited hand qualifies as any ace, which is in the optimal preflop raise range. Raising 4x maximizes expected value with this hand.

Model's stated reason

6s5c is not in the optimal preflop raise range, so checking preserves the option to evaluate the flop before committing more chips.

Model's stated reason

A9 offsuit is an ace, which is in the optimal 4x preflop raise range. Raising 4x maximizes expected value.

Model's stated reason

4-5 offsuit is too weak to raise preflop, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.

Model's stated reason

The board already gives me only a pair of Kings with a queen kicker, and the dealer cannot have worse than that pair. Almost every dealer holding either ties or beats me, so raising has negative expected value compared to folding.

Model's stated reason

Q-high with only backdoor draws is too weak to raise 2x; checking keeps the option to fold on the river if the board doesn't improve.

Model's stated reason

Q4s is below the preflop 4x raise threshold, and checking preserves the option to raise on a favorable flop or river with more information.

Model's stated reason

8-2 offsuit is far below the preflop raise table, so I check to see the flop cheaply and only commit if the board improves me significantly.

Model's stated reason

J5 offsuit is below the preflop raise thresholds, so I check to see the flop cheaply and decide later.

Model's stated reason

I have only J-high with no flush or straight draw, so raising 2x risks too much with a weak hand. Checking lets me see the turn and river and decide whether to make a small river bet or fold.

Model's stated reason

K7o meets the optimal 4x raise criteria (K5o+), so raising 4x maximizes expected value.
