Video Poker table

No pair, flush, or four-card straight draw. Holding only the king is the highest-EV option among the 32 patterns.

Four spades to a flush; discard the off-suit ten. Four-to-a-flush is the clear highest-EV hold.

Hold the unsuited Ace and Jack; no pair, flush, or straight draw is present, so only the two high cards are worth keeping.

Hold the suited ace-king; two unpaired high cards are the highest-EV keep, with flush chances as a bonus.

No pair or paying draw; keep the ace and queen and discard the three low cards to maximize jacks-or-better and pair-improvement equity.

No pair, flush draw, or straight draw; the queen is the only paying high card, so hold it and redraw the other four.

Hold the unpaired king and jack; they are the only jacks-or-better starters and there is no flush or straight draw worth keeping.

Unsuited QJ is the only paying starter; holding both high cards beats keeping one or any low-card draw.

No pair or draw; hold only the jack and discard the four low unconnected cards to maximize jacks-or-better and better-hand chances.

Hold the pair of aces and discard the three kickers; a high pair is the best made hand and drawing three maximizes trips, full house, and quads.

Low pair of fives is the best hold; no straight-flush or four-card straight draw justifies breaking it.

No made hand or draw; hold the ace and king as the two highest paying cards and discard the rest.

Low pair of nines is the only paying seed; no flush or straight draw, so keep both nines and draw three.

Four hearts to a flush is the best draw; discard the offsuit ace and keep the flush cards, including the jack.

Two pair is already paying; keep both pairs and discard the ten so the one-card draw can improve to a full house.

Four unsuited high cards (A-K-Q-J) to an inside straight; discard the deuce and draw one.

Four hearts to a flush returns about 6.38 credits, beating holds of just the suited KQ or fewer hearts.

9-10-J-Q is four to an outside straight, which outranks keeping the ace with the high cards.

Four diamonds to a flush; discard the offsuit jack and draw one card.

Hold the pair of eights and discard the rest; a low pair is the best starting value here.

Unpaired jack and king are the only paying starters; discard the three low unconnected cards and draw three.

Hold the pair of fours and discard the rest. A low pair outdraws keeping the ace alone or any kicker.

Low pair of sevens is the only paying seed; holding just the pair maximizes expected value versus any one-card straight draw or empty redraw.

Hold the low pair of twos; no four-card flush or straight draw is present, so drawing three to the pair is the highest-EV hold.

Pair of kings is a paying hand; hold both kings and discard the three low cards to draw for three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind.

No made hand or strong draw; the queen is the only jacks-or-better card, so hold it alone and redraw the rest.

No pair, flush, or straight draw. The jack is the only paying high card, so keep it and redraw the other four.

Low pair of deuces is the only paying seed; no flush, straight, or high-card draw beats holding it in 9/6 Jacks or Better.

No pair, flush, or straight draw worth keeping. 9-10 suited returns less than drawing five new cards, so discard all.

Made two pair of jacks and twos. Hold both pairs and discard the 4s kicker for a full-house draw, which beats standing pat.

Four hearts give a flush draw worth about 1.21 per credit (9 flush outs plus 3 queen-pair outs); no other hold, including the offsuit king, is close.

Hold the pair of kings only; the other cards do not improve the draw and a high pair is the best starting hand.

No pair or four-card draw. A lone jack outranks three unconnected spades to a flush, so keep Jh and redraw the rest.
