No made hand, flush, or open straight draw; holding the two unsuited high cards (K,J) maximizes EV over other partial draws like the two-gap straight or single high card.

No pair or made hand; Ts and Js are suited high cards (both spades), giving strong royal/straight flush upside plus two live high cards for future pairs.

No made hand or draw; keep the lone Jack as the only card with showdown value and draw four fresh cards.

Jh and Qh are two suited high cards giving royal/flush/straight flush potential; the 4h doesn't help since it's not part of a royal draw, so discarding Ad, 4h, 9d maximizes EV.

No pair or made hand; the three clubs (3,6,7) form a low, gapped 3-card flush with no high-card value, which has lower EV than holding the lone King as a single high card per standard 9/6 Jacks-or-Better strategy.

Low pair of 7s is the best holding value; keep the pair and draw three new cards for a chance at trips or better.

Two pair (5s,5c,9s,9c) with the queen discarded; standard strategy is to hold both pairs and draw one card for a chance at a full house.

Low pair of 5s is the best held equity; discard the three unrelated cards and draw three fresh cards to improve to trips, full house, or four of a kind.

Pair of queens is the only made hand; holding just the pair maximizes draw potential for two pair, trips, full house, or quads.

No pair or flush draw present; the best option is the four-card inside straight (5-6-8-9 needing a 7), which beats drawing five new cards.

Pair of queens is a made paying hand; hold both queens and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; keep the lone Ace as the only high card for a chance at a paying pair, discarding the rest.

Four-card flush draw (hearts) is a stronger EV play than holding lone high cards, so keep 3h,4h,Th,Kh and discard the offsuit Js.

Low pair (9s) is the best made hand; discard the rest to draw three new cards for full house/trips/quads chances, which outperforms keeping the ace kicker.

Three aces is a strong made hand; hold the trips and draw two new cards for a shot at four of a kind or a full house.

Pair of Jacks is a made paying hand; hold JJ and draw three new cards for shots at trips/quads/full house.

No pair or draw exists; holding the lone Ace maximizes expected value since it's the highest unpaired high card and A-J are offsuit, unconnected.

Q-J suited offers backdoor royal/straight-flush/flush potential plus two high cards for pair value; standard optimal hold given no better draws exist.

Pair of queens is a made paying hand; hold both queens and draw three new cards for shots at trips, full house, or better.

Four-card flush draw (Qs,9s,6s,7s) is the strongest hold; discard the offsuit 4d to draw one card for the flush.

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; holding the two unsuited high cards (Jack and Ace) maximizes expected value by keeping strong pair/two-pair potential while redrawing three cards.

A pair of 5s has higher expected value than three unsuited high cards; hold the pair and draw three new cards.

T-J-Q-K is an open-ended four-card straight draw (needs 9 or A); discarding the lone 4s maximizes expected value over other holds.
