No pair or made draw; holding only the ten keeps the best high-card chance for a pair of jacks or better while discarding the weak unconnected low cards.

No pair, straight, or flush is made, so I keep the two high cards, King and Ten, as the best starting value and discard the rest for a draw.

Holding Ad, Qd and Jc keeps three high cards toward a possible straight or royal, which generally outperforms keeping just the two suited high cards in this 9/6 Jacks or Better game.

Holding the two pairs (2s and 8s) is the standard optimal play here, giving a guaranteed two-pair payout with four-of-a-kind outs on the draw, and discarding the lone 9s is correct.

Holding 4-5-6 keeps an open-ended straight draw to 3 or 7, about a 31% chance of a straight worth 4 per credit, which beats holding the ace and jack for a weaker pair chance.

Holding the three diamonds 4d, 6d and 9d keeps a flush draw, which is generally the best use of three suited cards here, and the 10 remaining diamonds give a reasonable chance to complete it. Tc and Qh are discarded.

Holding the 9, Ten and Jack gives an open-ended straight draw, which is the strongest available draw here. The ace and the 3 add little, so I discard them.

Holding the ace and king of diamonds keeps the two high cards, the strongest pay-chasing hold here since the other three cards have no pair, flush, or straight value.

No pair or made draw, so keeping the lone queen is the standard best play; the two diamonds and the 9 are too weak to beat a single high card.

Holding 6h, 4c and 5c keeps an open-ended straight draw with about 8 outs (3s or 7s), worth far more than the weak ace-high three-heart flush draw.

Holding 8-9-T gives an open-ended straight draw with 8 outs toward a straight, which is worth more than the weak suited 9-K or any single high card.

Holding the pair of fives is the standard choice here: it gives a jacks-or-better hand with a chance at trips, two pair, or a full house, and it beats keeping the unsuited queen-king.

A pair of 3s is the strongest made hand here, so I keep both threes and discard the unpaired Jd, 2h, and 7d to draw for trips, a full house, or two pair.

A pair of 2s is the strongest made holding here, giving the best chance at three of a kind or better on the draw, which outweighs the three-to-a-flush hearts draw.

A pair of tens is the best made hand, so hold the pair of tens and discard the three unrelated cards to chase three of a kind, two pair, or better.

Holding the suited Ace and King keeps the best high-card core and the flush and royal chances. The 4, 3 and 7 are discarded because they add little value.

A pair of fours is the strongest made hand here, and the remaining T-7-6 offers no real straight or flush draw worth breaking the pair for.

Holding the Jack and Queen keeps both high cards for a possible pair of jacks or better and straight outs, while discarding the low, unconnected 2, 8 and 4.

A pair of queens is a made jacks-or-better hand that pays immediately, which is a safer keep than the three-heart AKT draw that needs two specific cards for a royal.

Keeping the ten, jack, king and ace gives an inside straight draw to a queen, which is worth more here than the lone ace or the suited ten-jack pair.

Holding the pair of eights is the standard best keep here, since the other three cards do not form a stronger draw. Discarding Th, Jd and 4s gives the best chance to improve.

Holding the pair of jacks is the standard optimal play here; the other three cards have no flush or straight potential worth keeping.

Holding the Jack, Ten and King keeps three high cards toward a broadway straight or royal, which is the strongest draw available from this unsuited hand.

Holding the pair of 7s is the best available keep here, since no flush, straight, or higher-value draw is better than the pair. The other three cards are discarded to draw for trips, two pair, or a full house.

A pair of 9s is held over the unsuited A-K, since it keeps the chance to improve to three of a kind, two pair, or a full house. This is the standard low-pair play in Jacks or Better.

Holding 6-7-8-9 keeps an open-ended straight draw to a 5 or 10, which is the strongest play here; the queen is discarded.

A pair of nines is the strongest starting point here, so hold both nines and redraw the other three cards.

Holding 3-4-5-6 keeps an open-ended straight draw with 8 outs to 2 or 7, which beats holding the lone king and is the standard play on this paytable.

Holding the three clubs (4c, 6c, Jc) keeps a flush draw that pays 6 and a chance at a pair of jacks, which beats holding the lone jack or the other low cards.

A pair of jacks is a made jacks-or-better hand, so holding both jacks is the strong play, and discarding the three unrelated cards gives the best chance to improve.

Holding the pair of sixes gives the best expected value here, since the 4-5-6 straight draw is weaker than keeping a made pair.

Holding the four diamonds keeps a flush draw with 9 outs in the 47-card deck, which is the strongest option here since the ace is off-suit and there is no made pair.

No pair, straight, or flush draw is available, so holding the ace alone is the strongest remaining option, since it keeps a high card that can later form a jacks-or-better pair or better.

No made hand, so I'm keeping the two high clubs, Ace and Queen, as a suited high-card draw toward a flush, straight, or jacks-or-better pair.

A pair of kings is the only made hand worth holding, and it pays as jacks or better; the other three cards are discarded to chase a better draw.

A pair of tens is the strongest made hand here, and standard 9/6 strategy keeps a pair over the lone queen or the 9-6 discards. Holding both tens gives the best chance at trips, two pair, or a full house.

No made hand, so I'm keeping the suited connected 8h-7h for straight and flush potential rather than the lone queen. This is a close call, and the choice is based on my recollection of full-pay strategy rather than an exact calculation.

Holding 6-7-8 keeps the best straight potential, since it can complete with 4-5, 5-9, or 9-10. The 3 and 2 have little value.

Holding the pair of queens is the standard optimal play, since it guarantees jacks-or-better and gives the best chance at a higher pair or better draw.

Holding the pair of fives is the standard low-pair play in Jacks or Better, and it is generally worth more than the suited ace-queen draw here.
