Ace and Queen are the only jacks-or-better cards and are unsuited, with no straight, flush, or straight-flush draw worth keeping. Holding both high cards is the highest-EV pattern.

Hold the three aces and discard the 6 and 4 to keep three of a kind while drawing for quads or a full house.

Hold only the pair of kings. Kickers reduce three-of-a-kind and full-house outs more than they add value in Jacks or Better.

Only the queen is a paying high card; the rest form no pair, straight, or flush draw worth keeping.

No pair, high card, four-flush, four-straight, or three-straight-flush. Drawing five beats holding the three clubs or 8-9-T.

Only the queen is a paying card; there is no four-card straight or flush, so discard the low cards and draw four.

Low pair of eights outranks an unsuited KQ draw in 9/6 Jacks or Better; hold only the pair and discard the kickers.

No pair, high card, four-flush, or four-straight. Discarding all five is the highest-EV hold.

Only the king is worth keeping; a lone high card returns more than the one-way inside straight or a full redraw.

Only the ace is a paying high card; the other ranks and suits form no pair, flush draw, or straight draw worth keeping.

Holding both low pairs and discarding the 5 gives about 2.60 credits expected, better than standing pat on two pair or breaking up for a weak straight draw.

Hold the pair of kings and discard the three low unmatched cards; a made high pair is worth more than any draw those kickers offer.

Hold the unsuited jack and queen; they are the only cards that can make a paying pair, and no flush or straight draw is worth keeping.

Queen-ten of clubs is two to a royal, which outranks holding the queen alone. Discard the three unsuited low cards.

Hold the pair of aces and discard the king, ten, and nine. Aces are a paying pair and the best draw to three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind.

Hold the pair of kings, which already pays jacks or better, and discard the three unmatched low cards to maximize draws to three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind.

Ace-king suited is the best draw: the royal, flush, and straight equity outweigh keeping the offsuit queen with them. Discard the queen, four, and five.

Unpaired king and queen are the only paying starters; discard the three low offsuit cards and draw three.

Hold the pair of fours and discard the rest; a low pair is the best starting hand here with no flush or straight draw worth chasing.

Hold the pair of aces (a paying jacks-or-better hand) and discard the three unrelated cards to draw for trips, full house, or quads.

Discard the deuce and keep A-K-J-T. Four to an inside straight with three high cards returns more than drawing two to A-K-J.

Hold the Ace and Queen, the only jacks-or-better cards; the unsuited low cards form no paying draw.

Hold the pair of tens; it is the only paying draw and outranks any kickers or partial straights here.

Low pair of fives is the only paying seed; no flush or straight draw competes, so discard the three kickers.

No pair, flush, or straight draw; hold the unsuited king and jack as the two highest cards.

Hold the suited ace and jack; they are the only high cards and give the best draw to pairs, flushes, and royals.

No pair, high card, flush draw, or viable straight draw; discarding all five is the highest-EV hold.

Low pair of eights is the best hold; kickers do not justify breaking it in 9/6 Jacks or Better.

Low pair of sixes is the only paying seed; no four-card straight, flush, or straight-flush draw exists, so keep both sixes and draw three.

Pair of tens is below jacks, so hold only the pair and draw three cards for the best expected return.
