Ad and Jd are suited high cards (both diamonds), giving backdoor flush/royal potential plus pair upside; better EV than holding unsuited singles.

Low pair of 5s only qualifies as a base for draws; hold both 5s and draw three new cards for chances at three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind.

No made hand or draw; keep the two unpaired high cards (J,K) for a shot at a paying pair while discarding the rest.

No made hand or draw; keep the two unsuited high cards (K,J) for jacks-or-better chances and discard the rest.

Low pair of 2s is the only made hand value; hold the pair and draw three for shots at trips, quads, or a full house.

Keep the unsuited Jack and Queen (two high cards) and discard the rest; this outperforms holding the suited T-Q or the weak 3-card inside straight per standard 9/6 Jacks or Better strategy.

Pair of 9s is worth keeping for a shot at trips/quads/full house; other cards are unconnected, so discard them.

Two pair (fours and threes) already made; hold both pairs and draw one card for a shot at a full house or better.

No pat hand or four-flush; best EV is keeping the two unsuited high cards (A,Q) since the three diamonds don't form a straight-flush draw and only give a non-scoring three-card flush.

Pair of jacks is the only made paying hand; hold both jacks and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

No pair or draw present; keep the lone jack as the only high-card value and discard the rest for a fresh draw.

No made hand; keep the two unsuited high cards (K,A) for the best shot at a paying pair or better, discarding the low cards.

No pair or made draw; keeping the two unsuited high cards (A,Q) has higher EV than a single high card or the 3-card flush in clubs.

Pair of tens is the only made value; hold the pair and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

Four-card diamond flush draw (6d,Td,3d,Qd) outranks any two-card high-card or straight draw here, so discard the off-suit Js and draw one card to complete the flush.

Hold the two unsuited high cards King and Queen for jacks-or-better shot; discard the low unconnected cards.

Only the Jack qualifies as a high card for jacks-or-better; the other diamonds (4,10) don't form a straight-flush draw, so holding the lone Jack maximizes EV over the random 3-card flush or discarding all.

No pair or draw; keep the two unsuited high cards (J,K) for the best shot at a paying pair or better.

Pair of 8s is the strongest holding; discarding the rest gives good odds at trips, quads, or full house while retaining guaranteed pair value.

Pair of kings is the strongest holding; discard the three unrelated low cards to draw toward trips, full house, or four of a kind.

Holding the pair of queens (a made high pair) has higher expected value than chasing the 4-card heart flush, per optimal strategy.

Low pair of 3s: hold only the pair and draw three new cards, which maximizes EV over other options like keeping the ace kicker.

Only a low pair of 7s present; hold the pair and draw three new cards for best expected value.

Two pair (4-4 and 8-8) guarantees a payout; hold both pairs and discard the 9c for a chance at a full house or quads.

Low pair of twos has positive expectation from three-of-a-kind/full-house/four-of-a-kind draws, outweighing a lone King high card.

Low pair of 5s is the best held value; keep the pair and draw three new cards for a shot at trips/full house/quads.

No pair, flush, or four-card straight; the 7-8-9 run has no high cards, so holding the lone Queen alone has higher expected value than the weak three-card straight draw.

Two pair (4s and 8s) is already made; hold both pairs and discard the 7s kicker for a chance at a full house or quads while locking in the two-pair payout.

No pair or flush/straight draw present; holding the three unsuited high cards J, Q, K maximizes chances at a pair or straight while keeping royal potential alive.

No made hand or draw; holding the lone Ace is standard for unpaired high-card hands with no other value.

No made hand or draw; hold the two high cards (Q,J) for a shot at a paying pair or better, discard the rest.

Pair of 5s is the strongest holding; keeping just the pair and drawing three new cards maximizes expected value over a mediocre three-card flush draw.

Pair of Jacks is a made paying hand; no flush or straight draw exists among the other cards, so standard strategy holds only the pair and draws three fresh cards.

Low pair of 9s is the only made hand; hold both 9s and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

Low pair of 3s is worth keeping over any other partial draw; discard the rest and draw three new cards.

No pair or flush/straight draw; holding the lone high card (Queen) has higher expected value than a mixed 3-card straight draw.

No pair or made hand; the only straight draw is a gutshot with zero high cards, which has lower EV than holding the lone Ace, so I keep just the Ace.

No pair, flush draw, or straight draw is present; the lone Ace is the only high card worth keeping, giving the best expected value on the draw.

Pair of 4s is a low pair with solid EV (~0.82/credit), outranking the lone high card J and non-suited flush draw with only two diamonds; hold the pair and draw three new cards.

Ac and Kc are suited high cards offering flush, straight, and royal potential; discarding the rest maximizes expected value with no made hand.
