Keep the two high cards, K and J, for the stronger chance to make a paying high pair or better than the four-card inside straight draw.

Keep the suited ten and jack: they offer strong high-pair chances and retain a chance to complete a royal or straight flush.

Keep the jack as the only high card; the remaining cards offer no valuable straight or flush draw.

Keep the two high hearts. Drawing three cards preserves chances to make a paying high pair, a straight, or even a royal flush; keeping the third heart would reduce those chances to two draws.

Keep the king as the only high card; drawing four cards gives better expected value than keeping this three-card flush draw or the low cards.

Keep the pair of sevens to draw for three of a kind, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keep both pairs: drawing one card can improve to a full house, while otherwise retaining the two-pair payout.

Keep the pair of fives and draw three cards; a made pair has better expected value than holding the unrelated high cards.

Hold the pair of queens; discarding the other three cards gives the best chance to improve to a paying hand.

Keep 5, 6, 8, and 9 for the four-out inside straight draw; drawing a 7 completes a straight.

Hold 2, 4, 5, and 6 for a four-card inside straight draw; drawing a 3 completes the straight.

Keep the two high cards, J and K, to give three draws at a high pair or better; this has higher expected value than the three-card heart flush draw.

Keep the four-card open-ended straight draw; a 2 or 7 completes the straight, giving 8 outs on the final card.

Hold the pair of fives; drawing three cards to improve it has better expected value than keeping the unpaired queen or other kickers.

Hold the pair of Jacks, which has the strongest expected value compared with the three-card club flush draw.

Keep the pair of jacks to preserve the paying pair and maximize chances of improving it; the unsuited kickers offer no useful draw.

Keep the pair of nines; drawing three cards gives the strongest expected value.

Keep the four clubs and draw one card: the flush draw has strong expected value, while the low-card straight possibilities are much weaker.

Keep the pair of nines; it has much higher expected value than drawing to the suited ace.

Keep the pair of aces; drawing three cards to a high pair has the strongest expected return.

Keep the pair of jacks for a strong paying-hand chance; the other cards do not form a better draw.

Hold the ace and jack as two high cards, maximizing chances to draw a paying high pair or better; the other cards form no stronger draw.

Keeping both pairs guarantees the two-pair payout, with a chance to improve to a full house on the draw.

Keep the ace and queen as the two high cards, giving three draws to make a paying high pair. The ten and low cards do not improve the draw enough to keep.

Keep the two paying high cards, king and jack, to draw three cards toward a high pair or better.

Keep the high pair of jacks; drawing three cards has better expected value than retaining the unrelated cards.

Keep the pair of kings; it has stronger expected value than breaking the pair for the three-card diamond draw.

Keep the suited queen and jack: they offer a strong high-card draw, including a chance at a royal flush. The unsuited 5-6-7 run is a weaker draw.

Hold the four-card 6-7-8-10 straight draw; any 9 completes a straight, giving 16 outs on the draw.

Hold the pair of queens, which guarantees a paying high pair and offers the best draw potential.

Hold the four spades for a strong flush draw; drawing one card gives a flush on any of the remaining nine spades.

Hold the two high cards, ace and jack, to maximize chances of a paying high pair while retaining both ranks as draw possibilities.

Keep the pair of fives; drawing three cards offers the best expected value compared with keeping the unpaired high cards.

Hold the four-card open-ended straight draw (10-J-Q-K), which can complete with a 9 or an ace; discard the unrelated 4.

Keep the pair of queens for the strongest expected return; the three-card straight possibility is not worth breaking the paying high pair.

Keep the suited ace and queen for the strongest draw, including a chance at a royal flush; discard the unrelated low cards.

Hold the pair of threes and draw three cards; keeping it gives the best expected value among these options.
