Video Poker table

Three nines already pays; discard both kickers to chase quads or a full house, which is the highest-EV draw.

No pair, flush, or open straight. The ace is the only paying high card; holding it alone beats the inside-straight draws and a full discard.

Three sixes already pays; keep the trips and discard both kickers to chase a full house or four of a kind.

Hold the pair of kings; a high pair is worth more than the three-card diamond draw or any other partial.

No pair, straight, or flush draw; hold the lone queen and draw four cards for the best jacks-or-better expectation.

Low pair of nines is the only paying starter; discard the three clubs rather than chase a three-flush.

Hold the unsuited KQJ; three high cards is the highest-EV pattern, discarding the low 6 and 2.

Open-ended four-card straight (5-6-7-8) is the highest-EV hold; the jack does not connect and is discarded.

Low pair of nines is the best hold; kickers do not improve expected value enough to keep, and no stronger draw is present.

Four hearts to a flush outranks the low pair of sixes; one-card flush draw returns more than drawing three to sixes.

Hold the pair of sixes; the other cards offer no straight or flush draw worth chasing.

Low pair of sixes is the only paying seed; discard the three kickers to draw for trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Unsuited KQ with no straight or flush draw; hold both high cards for the best jacks-or-better expectation.

Low pair of sevens is the only paying seed; discard the three kickers to draw for trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Four hearts to a flush is the highest-EV hold; the offsuit 3d does not improve any paying hand, so discard it.

No pair, flush, or straight draw. Holding the unsuited jack and queen is the highest-EV pattern; the low cards are discarded.

No paying pair or four-card draw; the queen is the only high card, so hold it alone and redraw the rest.

Hold the pair of aces and discard the rest; a made high pair outranks any three-card flush or straight draw here.

Hold the Ace and Jack only; they are the two high cards and no pair, flush, or straight draw is worth keeping instead.

Hold the low pair of threes and draw three; it has higher expected value than keeping the jack or any other subset.

Three hearts to a royal (A-J-T). Discard the offsuit king and the four; that draw is the highest-EV hold.

Three jacks already pays; keep all three and discard the 7 and 8 to chase a full house or four of a kind.

Only the king is a paying high card. The three clubs are not a straight-flush draw, so drawing four to the king beats holding the weak flush draw.

Only the king is a paying high card; the other cards form no pair, flush draw, or straight draw, so discard them.

No pair, straight, or flush draw. King is the only Jacks-or-better card, so hold it and redraw the other four.

Hold the pair of sevens and discard the rest. A low pair drawing three cards is the highest-EV play; a queen kicker only reduces outs.

Already have two pair (6s and 7s). Discard the 8 to draw for a full house; that is the highest-EV hold.

Only one high card and a low inside-straight draw (EV ~0.34). Holding the jack alone is the highest-EV option (~0.46).

Hold the paying pair of jacks and discard the three kickers; that maximizes expected return versus keeping the ace.

Hold the pair of kings and discard the rest; a made high pair is the best starting hand and drawing three maximizes expected payout.

No pair or draw; hold the suited jack and king, the two highest-value cards, and discard the three low cards.
