Keep the three nines: drawing two cards gives strong chances at four of a kind or a full house, and holding the pair would sacrifice that value.

Keep the ace as the strongest high card; the three-spade flush draw with two low cards is less valuable than drawing four cards while retaining the ace.

Keep A-2-3-5: a 4 completes a straight, and another ace makes a paying high pair.

Keep the jack: a high pair pays, and drawing four cards to a high card has better expected value than pursuing the un suited three-card sequence.

Keep the three sixes; drawing two cards gives the best chance to improve to four of a kind or a full house.

Keep the pair of kings, which has strong immediate payout potential and generally has higher expected value than drawing to a three-card flush.

Hold the queen as the sole high card; the other cards do not form a worthwhile pair, straight draw, or flush draw.

Hold the pair of nines and draw three; a made pair has better expected value than keeping the unrelated low cards.

Keep the three unsuited high cards; drawing two gives strong chances to make a paying pair or better.

Keep the three hearts for a flush draw; discarding the off-suit cards gives the strongest expected payout.

Hold the four-card open-ended straight draw; the 5-6-7-8 can complete with a 4 or 9.

Keep the pair of nines; it has better expected value than drawing to the inside straight.

Keep the four hearts for the one-card flush draw; its expected value exceeds holding the low pair of sixes.

Keep the pair of sixes to draw toward three of a kind, two pair, a full house, or four of a kind; the other cards offer no stronger draw.

Keep the suited king and jack: this preserves a strong draw to a flush, straight, or royal flush while retaining high-pair potential.

Hold the pair of sixes to draw toward three or four of a kind; the unpaired cards do not provide a stronger draw.

Keep 3, 4, 6, and 7 for the four-out inside straight draw; it has higher expected value than the available three-card flush draw or holding the lone jack.

Keep the king and queen as two high-card draws; the other cards do not form a paying hand or a stronger draw.

Keep the pair of sevens; drawing three cards to improve it has the best expected value here.

Keep the four hearts for a strong flush draw; discard the off-suit 3.

Hold the four hearts for a strong flush draw; discard the off-suit jack.

Hold the jack as a high card; the other cards do not form a valuable draw.

Hold both high cards, J and Q, to retain chances of a paying high pair while drawing three replacements.

Keep 6, 7, 8, and 10 for the four-card inside-straight draw; a 9 completes the straight. This draw has better expected value than keeping only the queen.

Keep the pair of aces, which has higher expected value than pursuing the suited straight draw.

Keep the two unsuited high cards, ace and jack, to pursue a paying high pair; the wheel draw is only a gutshot and has lower expected value.

Hold the low pair; drawing three cards to improve it has greater expected value than keeping the jack kicker.

Keep the three hearts A-T-J for a three-card royal-flush draw; the two missing hearts complete the highest-paying hand.

Keep the three jacks to preserve three of a kind and draw two cards; this has higher expected value than breaking up the trips.

Keeping the three clubs gives a flush draw while retaining a chance to pair the king; together these offer better expected value than keeping only the king.

Keep the king as a paying high-card draw; the other cards offer no sufficiently strong pair, flush, or straight draw.

Keep the lone king as a high-card draw; the other cards offer no stronger pair, straight, or flush opportunity.

Hold the pair of sevens; drawing three cards to improve the pair has higher expected value than keeping any other combination.

Keep the three spades to draw toward a flush; the other cards add no paying pair or stronger draw.

Keep both pairs and draw one card; this preserves a guaranteed two-pair result unless the draw improves it to a full house or four of a kind.

Keep the suited K-Q to draw toward a flush or royal/straight flush while retaining high-pair possibilities.

Keep the jack as a paying high card; the other four cards form only a low gutshot straight draw, which has lower expected value.

Hold the pair of jacks for the strongest immediate paying hand and the best draw toward three or four of a kind.

Keep the pair of kings; drawing three cards gives the best expected value by pursuing trips, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keep the two suited high cards for the best draw potential; replace the other three.
