Video Poker table

Low pair of sixes is the best EV hold; a 3-card flush draw with low kickers is weaker than a pair.

No pair, no flush or straight draw; standard strategy holds only the single highest card (Ace) and draws four new cards.

Only a low pair of 5s has value; holding the pair alone maximizes EV toward three of a kind, full house, or quads.

No pair or draw; holding three unsuited high cards (A,Q,K) maximizes chances of forming jacks-or-better or better while discarding the low kickers.

Three of a kind (fives) is a strong made hand; hold the trips and draw two new cards for a chance at quads or full house.

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

Low pair of deuces is the strongest draw here; holding it gives decent chances at trips, two pair, or full house, outperforming a lone king kicker.

No pair or straight/flush draw of note; AK suited are the two live high cards, which beats holding the weaker 3-card diamond flush (6d-Kd-Ad) per standard JoB strategy.

Pair of Kings (high pair) has higher EV than drawing to a three-card flush; keep KK and draw three new cards.

Low pair of 2s is the only made value; hold the pair and draw three new cards for a shot at three/four of a kind or two pair.

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

Pair of 9s is the only made hand; hold both nines and draw three new cards for shots at trips, full house, or quads.

Ts and Qs are two suited high cards (part of a possible royal/flush/straight), which has higher EV than the unsuited 3-card straight draw; the rest are discarded.

Four-card flush draw (6s,Qs,4s,5s) outranks keeping just the lone Ace; discard the diamond and draw one card for the flush.

Two pair (Jacks and 7s) already made; hold both pairs and discard the 5d for a shot at full house or quads while banking the two-pair payout.

Pair of tens is the only made hand; hold the pair and draw three for a chance at trips, full house, or quads.

No made hand or draw; keep the lone Ace as the single highest card and draw four fresh cards for the best expected value.

No made hand or draw; keep the lone jack as the only high card with pairing potential and discard the rest.

No pair, flush, or straight draw present; holding the two unsuited high cards (A, Q) gives better EV than keeping a single high card or discarding everything.

No pairs, draws, or made hands; holding the lone Ace is the highest-EV play per standard Jacks-or-Better strategy.

Low pair of twos is the only made value; keep it and draw three new cards for a shot at trips or better, beating the single high-card holds.

Three kings (Kc, Kh, Ks) is a strong made hand; hold them and draw two new cards for a shot at four of a kind or full house.

No pair or 4-card draw present; holding the two unsuited high cards (Ace, Queen) maximizes chances of a paying pair plus upside for two pair/straight, per optimal Jacks or Better strategy.

Four consecutive cards (4-5-6-7) give an open-ended straight draw with 8 outs; discard the unrelated 10d which doesn't contribute to any strong draw.

Four cards to an open-ended straight (8-9-10-J) beats the weaker 3-card heart flush draw; discard the lone 6h.

No pair, flush, or straight draw present; keep the two unsuited high cards (K, Q) for the best jacks-or-better chance and discard the rest.

No pair or made hand; best EV is keeping the lone high card (King) and drawing four new cards, since the unsuited 8-9-T run isn't a stronger draw than a single jack-or-better card.

Three aces is the strongest holding; discard the 9d and 8c to draw two new cards for a shot at four of a kind or full house while keeping trips guaranteed.

Three suited clubs (8-9-10) give a flush draw plus inside-straight outs, clearly stronger than holding the lone king.

Three suited hearts (6h,8h,Ah) form a 3-card flush draw which outranks the inside straight draw using 7s/4s; discard the two off-suit low cards.

No made hand or four-card draw; holding unsuited A-K keeps two strong jacks-or-better high cards while maximizing redraw potential.

Pair of queens is a made paying hand; holding only the pair maximizes expected value over drawing to a weak 2-card flush/straight draw.

Pair of jacks is a guaranteed paying hand; keeping it has higher EV than chasing the 4-card diamond flush, per standard Jacks-or-Better strategy.

Low pair of deuces outranks two unsuited high cards in optimal video poker strategy, so hold the pair and draw three new cards.

Four-card open-ended straight draw (7-8-9-10) outweighs keeping a lone king; 6 or J outs complete the straight.

No pair or draw; keep the lone King as the only high card and draw four new cards.

No made hand or draw; hold only the lone jack as the single high card with best EV.

Pair of Kings is the best made hand; hold both Kings and draw three new cards for a shot at trips/quads/full house.

Four cards to a flush (clubs: 2c,6c,4c,Tc) is a strong draw; discard the lone 8s to chase the flush.
