Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of 7s is the optimal play in Jacks or Better, as it offers the best chance to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of 8s is the optimal play, as it has the highest expected value compared to the three-spade or straight draws. Discard the jack, six, and nine.
Model's stated reason
Holding the three twos guarantees a three of a kind and gives the best chance to improve to a full house or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of 8s is the highest-EV play in Jacks or Better; drawing to the queen alone or keeping suited connectors offers less expected value.
Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of aces gives a guaranteed high pair and the best chance to improve to two pair, trips, or a full house.
Model's stated reason
Holding the Ace and Queen gives the best chance to make a high pair or better, with no flush or straight draw worth pursuing. This is the optimal play for this hand.
Model's stated reason
Keeping the pair of 2s gives the best expected value; it has more ways to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads than holding only the jack.
Model's stated reason
Holding the Ace and Jack gives the best chance for a high pair (Jacks or better) and also allows for straight and flush possibilities.

Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of fours gives the best expected value, with chances to improve to trips, two pair, a full house, or quads on the draw.
Model's stated reason
Holding the two pair (Queens and nines) guarantees a paying hand and has the highest expected value; discard the lone king.
Model's stated reason
Holding the pair of sevens gives the best expected value; it can improve to three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind. Discarding the other three cards maximizes the draw potential.
Model's stated reason
Holding the three spades (10, 9, 2) gives the best chance for a flush, which has a higher expected value than holding the Ace alone or any other combination.
Model's stated reason
Holding the two pair guarantees a 10-credit payout and gives a chance to draw a full house, which is the optimal play in Jacks or Better.
Model's stated reason
Holding the two pair guarantees a 10-credit payout and has four outs to improve to a full house, which is the optimal play.
