Holding the three diamonds 6d, 3d and 4d keeps a flush draw, which is worth more than the unpaid pair of sixes in 9/6 Jacks or Better.

No pair, flush, or straight is made, so I keep only the ace as the strongest single high card and redraw the other four.

A pair of fives is the strongest made hand here, and holding it keeps a pair on the board while drawing three new cards for jacks-or-better, trips, or better. Breaking it for the 2-3-5-6 inside straight draw is the weaker choice.

Holding the three high cards A, K, Q gives multiple ways to make a pair of jacks or better or better from the two draws, which beats the thin flush draw with 9-6 low.

Three fives is the strongest made hand here, so I keep the three 5s and discard the 9 and 3 to draw for a possible full house or four of a kind.

A pair of tens is the strongest made hand here, and holding it beats chasing the three-card club flush with 2c and 7c. Discard the 8h, 2c and 7c.

Holding the pair of 2s is the standard best play here, since no straight, flush, or higher pair draw is worth more than keeping the pair. The king and other cards are discarded.

No pair is available, so I'm keeping the two high cards, Kd and Ad, for a jacks-or-better or better chance and discarding the low and middle cards.

A pair of kings is the strongest made hand here, and the standard 9/6 Jacks or Better strategy holds a high pair over the three-spade draw.

Holding the pair of 2s gives about 12.5% chance of trips plus smaller chances of full house or four of a kind, which beats the roughly 4% chance of completing a heart flush from the three-heart draw.

A pair of queens is the only made hand, so holding the Qs and Qc is clearly right; the 9h, 2s and 7h have no pair, flush, or straight potential worth keeping.

A pair of nines is the strongest keep here: it can reach trips or quads on three draws, which beats the roughly 4% flush chance from holding three diamonds.

Holding the three clubs 7c, 6c, and 4c keeps a flush draw with some straight potential. Its expected value looks slightly better than keeping the four-card gapped straight draw 7-6-4-3.

Holding Jh, Ts and Qs keeps three high cards in a straight-draw shape with royal potential, which should beat holding only the spade pair or a lone jack. The 2s and 8d are discarded.

Holding Qs 6s 5s 4s keeps a four-card spade flush draw with a queen for pair value, and discarding the ace leaves the most upside. This is a close call against holding 6s 5s 4s as a three-card straight flush.

Holding two pair, sevens and jacks, is the optimal play here; drawing one card gives too little chance of a full house to beat the sure two-pair payout.

A pair of tens is the only made hand, and holding just the pair is the standard optimal play, so I keep Th and Td and discard the ace, five, and six.

Holding the ace and king keeps the two strongest high cards and their straight and pair potential, while discarding the 4, 8, and 3 to draw fresh cards.

No pair or four-card draw exists, so I keep the three-card straight draw 8-T-J, which gives the best chance at a straight and some pair or better from the remaining high card value.

Keeping the Ace and Queen gives two high cards toward a pair of jacks-or-better or better, and the other three cards are low and unconnected, so discard them.

Holding 5, 7, 8, 4 keeps a four-card inside straight draw with four outs to a 6, which is worth more than the ace or the three-card heart flush draw here.

Holding the low pair of 2s keeps chances for three of a kind, two pair, or a full house, which should beat keeping the unpaired Q and A. This is a close call, but the pair's draw potential is the better expected value.

Three kings is the strongest made hand here, so I keep all three and discard the 4c and 7c to draw for a full house or four of a kind.

Holding the queen and ace keeps two high cards toward a pair of queens or better, which is the strongest practical draw here, since the 7-8-T straight draw has very few outs.

Holding 4-5-6-7 keeps an open-ended straight draw with eight completing cards (3 or 8), which is the strongest play here; the Ten is discarded.

Holding 8-9-T-J keeps an open-ended straight draw with eight outs to a straight, which should beat keeping the three-heart flush draw of 6-8-9 in this paytable.

Holding the king and queen gives the best chance at a pair of face cards or a broadway draw, and the 3, 6, and 9 have little value.

Holding 9, T and 8 keeps an open-ended straight draw, which is the strongest available draw from this hand. The 3 and King have no pairing or flush potential worth keeping.

Three aces is the strongest made hand here, so keep the three aces and discard the 9 and 8 to draw for a full house or better.

Holding 9c, 8c and Tc keeps a three-card flush draw plus an open-ended straight draw (7 or J completes it), which is the strongest available keep from this hand.

Holding 6h, 7s, and 8h keeps an open-ended straight draw (a 5 or a 9 completes it, 8 outs), which beats keeping the 4 for an inside-straight draw with only 4 outs. The 4s and Ah are discarded.

Holding the ace and king keeps two high cards for a possible pair of aces or kings, which outweighs chasing the spade flush from three low-to-mid spades.

A pair of queens is a made jacks-or-better hand and is worth more than the two-card suited Jack-Queen draw, so I hold both queens and discard the rest.

Holding the pair of jacks is the stronger keep here; the four-diamond flush draw has only one high card and a 9-card out, so it is weaker than the guaranteed jacks-or-better pair.

Holding the pair of 2s keeps the strongest made hand, with trips, two pair, or a full house as realistic improvements on the draw. Keeping K-Q unpaired offers less immediate value.

Holding the open-ended four-card straight T-9-8-7 and discarding the king gives eight outs (J or 6) to a straight, which is the strongest standard draw here.

No made pair or four-card draw, so I keep the two suited high cards, Tc and Kc, for flush and jacks-or-better potential, and discard the disconnected 8, 6 and 3.

Only the jack is a made winner, and the 2-4-6-7 cards offer just a weak inside-straight draw, so holding the jack alone gives the best expected return.

A pair of kings is a jacks-or-better winner, and the standard strategy is to keep the high pair and discard the other three cards to draw for trips, two pair, or better.

Holding the four clubs (2c, 6c, 4c, Tc) keeps a flush draw with 9 clubs among the 47 remaining cards, which is the strongest keep here. The 8s is discarded since it doesn't contribute to a straight or pair.
