Only the jack is a paying high card; the other cards form no pair, flush draw, or useful straight draw, so keep the jack and redraw four.

Hold the pair of sevens and discard the rest. A low pair is the best starting hand here, with no straight or flush draw worth chasing.

Two pair is already made; keep both pairs and draw one to the full house. Holding all five locks in a lower payout, and breaking the pairs for the spade flush draw is worse.

Pair of fives is the only paying seed; kickers are unsuited and not part of a flush or straight draw, so discard all three and draw to the low pair.

Pair of queens is a made jacks-or-better hand; holding only the pair maximizes expected value versus keeping kickers.

Hold the pair of queens and discard the three kickers to maximize expected value.

3-4-5-6 is an open-ended straight draw with 8 outs (about 0.68 return per credit). That beats keeping only the king or breaking the straight.

Hold the pair of fives only. A low pair is worth more than keeping the queen kicker, which reduces three-of-a-kind, full-house, and four-of-a-kind outs.

Pair of nines is the only made value; the kickers do not form a four-card flush or straight, so discard them and draw three.

Pair of nines is the only paying seed; low pairs are held alone in Jacks or Better, and the ace-four hearts are not a flush or straight draw worth keeping.

No pair, flush, or straight draw. Ace and Queen are the only paying high cards, so keep both and draw three.

Hold the pair of jacks and discard the rest; a made jacks-or-better pair outranks any weak offsuit kickers or two-card heart draw.

Pair of kings is already a paying hand; discard the three low unconnected cards and draw three to the pair.

No pair, flush, or straight draw. Ace and jack are the only paying high cards, so keep both and draw three.

Hold the low pair of threes and discard the rest; it has higher expected value than any high-card or partial-draw alternative.
