Keep the three suited diamonds: they provide a strong flush draw while preserving two high-card pair chances.

Hold the two high cards, jack and king, to preserve the best chance of making a paying high pair.

Hold the two unsuited high cards, king and jack, for the best chance to draw a paying high pair.

Keep the dealt pair; drawing three cards to improve it has higher expected value than discarding all five.

Keep the two paying high cards, J and Q. Drawing three cards gives several chances to make a paying high pair or better.

Keep the pair of nines; drawing three cards offers the best chance to improve to three of a kind, two pair, or a full house.

Hold both pairs; drawing one card gives a chance to improve to a full house or four of a kind, while the made two-pair hand already pays.

Keep the three diamonds to maximize the flush draw while retaining some chances at pairs and other paying hands.

Hold the pair of jacks for the paying pair and strong three-of-a-kind and four-of-a-kind draws; the other cards offer no better draw.

Keep the two unsuited high cards, which offer better chances to make a paying high pair than the low cards.

Keep the two unpaired high cards, ace and queen, for the better chance of a paying pair or other strong draw; the three-card flush draw is less valuable.

Keep the four diamonds for a strong flush draw; discard the off-suit jack.

Keep the two unsuited high cards, king and queen, for chances to make a paying pair or improve to a stronger hand.

Keep the pair of eights; a made pair gives better expected value than the three-card club draw or the unpaired high cards.

Keep the paying pair of kings; it guarantees a jacks-or-better payout and offers chances to improve to two pair, trips, or better.

Hold the pair of queens; its expected payout is higher than drawing to the four-heart flush.

Hold the pair of threes; drawing three cards has better expected value than keeping the unsuited ace.

Hold the pair of sevens to draw toward three of a kind, two pair, or a full house; the other cards do not form a stronger draw.

Hold both pairs; drawing one card can improve to a full house or four of a kind, while otherwise preserving the two-pair payout.

Keep the low pair; drawing three cards gives the best chance to improve it to trips, two pair, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keeping 7-8-9 gives a three-card straight draw with several ways to complete a paying straight, along with chances for other paying hands. The lone queen is less valuable than this draw.

Keep the three high cards: they offer multiple chances to make a paying high pair, as well as straight possibilities.

Keep the two unsuited high cards, ace and king, for multiple chances to make a paying high pair and potential straight draws.

Hold both high cards, the queen and jack, to pursue a paying pair or stronger hand.

Keep the pair of Jacks for the strongest expected value; discard the other three cards to draw toward a higher-paying hand.

Keep the pair of nines; it has better expected value than drawing to the three-card heart flush.

Hold the pair of threes; its three-of-a-kind and full-house draw potential outweighs keeping the two unrelated high cards.

Keep the queen as a paying high-card pair draw. The four-card inside straight draw needs a six and has lower expected value than drawing four cards with the queen held.

The four-card straight draw is only an inside draw, while holding it allows just one replacement card. Discarding all five gives the stronger expected return.

Keep the three hearts for a flush draw; this has better expected value than the low straight possibilities.

Keep the pair of fours; a low pair has better expected value than drawing from the unconnected ten and jack.

Hold the ace and king: they can make paying high pairs, a straight, or a flush, while discarding the ten preserves an extra draw.
