Hold both low pairs. Drawing one card gives strong chances to improve to a full house or four of a kind while retaining the two-pair payout.

Hold the pair of nines; drawing three cards offers the best expected value through trips, two pair, full houses, and quads.

Hold the two high cards (jack and king); with no made pair or strong suited/straight draw, this offers the best drawing value.

Hold the pair of tens; it has the strongest expected value versus drawing from an unmade low-card hand.

Hold the pair of eights and draw three cards; this gives the best expected value through trips, two pair, full houses, and quads.

Hold the three-card consecutive straight 8-9-10, which has strong two-card straight-completion potential and additional pair/two-pair outcomes.

Hold the three hearts for the strongest available flush draw; the scattered ranks do not provide a stronger straight or made-hand opportunity.

Hold the pair of fours; a made pair offers the strongest draw value here, with chances to improve to two pair, trips, full house, or quads.

Hold the ace as the lone high card, preserving the best chance to draw a paying pair or stronger made hand. The disconnected low cards do not offer a sufficiently valuable straight or flush draw.

Hold the suited queen and ten: two high cards provide strong pair opportunities, with added straight and flush potential.

Hold the open four-card straight, 7-8-9-10, drawing one card for either a 6 or jack to complete a straight.

Hold the ace as the lone high card; the scattered low cards do not provide a strong straight or flush draw.

Hold the pair of tens. A low pair is the strongest practical draw here; the isolated suited ten-jack fragment is not enough to justify sacrificing the pair draw.

Hold the pair of deuces; a made pair has the best expected value here and can improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Hold the lone jack as the paying high-card draw; its overall draw value exceeds the weak inside-straight possibility.

Hold the pair of threes; a made pair provides the best drawing value here, with chances to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Hold the pair of jacks for an immediate paying hand and strong chances to improve to two pair, trips, full house, or quads.

Hold the three fives; drawing two cards maximizes the chances of four of a kind and a full house.

Hold the three spades for the strongest draw, with substantial flush potential and chances to improve through pairs or trips.

Hold the three-card 6-7-8 heart straight-flush draw; its combined straight, flush, and straight-flush potential exceeds retaining the low pair.

Hold the four diamonds for a strong one-card flush draw, retaining the jack also gives a small chance to improve to a paying pair.

Hold the three clubs to pursue the relatively strong three-card flush draw, with additional chances for high-pair and straight-related payouts.

Hold the pair of sixes. A low pair is the strongest available draw, with chances to improve to two pair, trips, full house, or quads.

Hold the three spades (5s, 8s, 9s) for the strongest draw: a three-card flush with some straight-flush potential.

Hold the suited king and jack: two suited high cards retain pair, straight, flush, and royal-flush potential.

Hold the pair of sixes. A made low pair has stronger expected value than the three-card heart flush draw here.

Hold the king as the lone high card; the scattered low cards do not form a sufficiently valuable straight or flush draw.

Hold the three hearts for the strong three-card flush draw, retaining two high cards for additional pair potential.

Hold the pair of 3s; drawing three cards offers the best expected value through trips, two pair, full houses, and four of a kind.

Hold the paying pair of aces; drawing three cards maximizes chances for trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Hold the three clubs to a royal flush (9♣ J♣ Q♣), preserving strong flush, straight-flush, and high-pair draw potential.

Hold the two high cards, king and ace; two unsuited high cards have the best expected return among the available draws.

Hold the three high cards (J, Q, A). This maximizes chances for high pairs, two pair, trips, and the Broadway straight draw.

Hold the three diamonds, including the strong K-Q suited core, for substantial flush value while retaining high-pair and two-pair possibilities.

Hold the pair of eights and draw three cards; this gives the best expected value through trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Hold the pair of eights; a made pair has the best expected return here, with chances to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Hold the three-card straight draw T-J-Q, which also retains two high cards for paying-pair and strong two-pair/trips outcomes.

Hold the pair of fours; a made low pair has better expected value here than the three-card spade flush draw.

Hold the four hearts for a four-card flush draw. The low pair is weaker in expected value than drawing one card to nine possible flush completions.

Hold the pair of sixes; a made pair offers the strongest draw value here, with chances to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.
