Low pair of tens is the only paying structure; discard the jack and low cards so three draws can improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Low pair of twos is the only paying seed; discard the jack and the other two cards so three draws can make trips, two pair, or a full house.

Three aces already pay as three of a kind; discard the 7 and 3 to chase four aces or a full house.

Low pair of fives is the best hold; no four-flush, straight-flush, or royal draw beats it, and kickers only reduce value.

Two pair (kings and fives) is already a paying hand; hold both pairs and discard the queen so the one-card draw can fill a full house.

No pair or draw; hold the lone Ace and draw four, which is the highest-EV pattern in Jacks or Better.

Hold only the king, the sole high card; the hand has no pair, flush draw, or straight draw worth keeping.

Hold the low pair of twos and discard the rest. A low pair outranks a lone jack or any kicker, and drawing three cards is the highest-EV play.

Holding both pairs and drawing one card keeps two pair guaranteed while adding a chance to improve to a full house.

No pair, no high cards, and no meaningful straight or flush draw, so discarding all five maximizes expected value.

Only the king is worth keeping; the other cards form no pair, flush, or straight draw that beats drawing four to a high card.

Hold the pair of queens only; it already pays and drawing three cards is the highest-EV option. No flush or straight draw justifies breaking the pair or keeping a kicker.

Holding the pair of tens maximizes expected value; the other cards form no paying hand or worthwhile draw.

The dealt cards are 5-6-7-8-9, a made straight. Holding all five locks in the straight payout, which is better than breaking it to draw.

Unsuited king-queen is the best hold; the ten does not pay and is not worth keeping with them.

Unpaired jack and king with no flush or straight draw; hold both high cards and draw three.
