Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Three clubs (9c, Qc, 5c) give a solid flush draw; discarding Td and 4h maximizes expected value since no pair or straight draw is present.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw present; only the jack qualifies as a high card worth keeping, so hold it alone and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of nines beats any single high card draw; keep the pair and draw three fresh cards for the best EV.
Model's stated reason
No pair or made hand; best EV is to keep the lone King and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Low pair (2s) is the best bet; hold the pair and draw three for chances at trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Hold the pair of 9s (low pair, no immediate payout but best EV draw) and discard the rest for a fresh three-card draw.
Model's stated reason
Three of a kind (888) is already a made hand; holding the trips and drawing two new cards maximizes chances of improving to a full house or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
Pair of aces is the strongest made hand; hold the aces and draw three new cards for a shot at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
Holding the suited T-J (hearts) keeps live royal/straight flush, flush, and straight draws, which outranks the weaker 3-card flush or unsuited 3-card straight options.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s is the best made hand; hold the pair and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw; keep only the lone Ace as the best high-card holding, discard the rest for a fresh draw.
Model's stated reason
Four cards to a royal flush (J,Q,K,A of spades) is the strongest possible hold, discarding only the off-suit 2d.
Model's stated reason
Two pair (8s and 2s) is a made hand; hold both pairs and discard the lone jack for a chance at a full house.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or draws; keep the two unsuited high cards (Q,K) for potential jacks-or-better and discard the rest.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of sevens is the best held hand; discard the three unrelated cards to draw toward three of a kind, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s has higher EV than a weak 3-card flush draw; keep the pair and draw three new cards.
Model's stated reason
Pair of aces is the best made hand; hold both aces and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, four of a kind, or a full house.
Model's stated reason
Hold the pair of jacks, discard the rest for best EV toward improving to trips or better.
Model's stated reason
No pair, no four-card straight/flush; the three clubs (4c-5c-7c) contain no high cards and only a one-gap straight-flush draw, which has lower EV than keeping the lone Ace as a single high card.
Model's stated reason
Open-ended straight draw 2-3-4-5 (ace or six completes it) is the strongest hold available with no pairs or flush draws.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of twos is the best EV: discard the three singletons and draw three new cards hoping for trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 9s is the only valuable holding; keep both and draw three new cards for a shot at trips, two pair, or full house.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or draw; keep the lone Ace as the only high-card value and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
No pair, straight, or flush draws present; holding the lone high card (King) maximizes expected value per standard jacks-or-better strategy.
Model's stated reason
Pair of Kings is the only made hand; hold both and draw three new cards for shots at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or four-card draw; keep the two unsuited high cards (A, J) for jacks-or-better potential and discard the rest.
Model's stated reason
No pair or straight/flush draw; only one high card (Q), so hold it alone and draw four new cards for the best EV.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 6s is the only made value; hold both sixes and draw three new cards for a shot at trips/quads or better.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 4s has higher EV than a four-card inside straight draw (needing only a 7); standard strategy holds the low pair.
Model's stated reason
Only a lone jack has value; discard the rest and draw four for the best chance at a paying hand.
Model's stated reason
No pair, flush, or four-card straight draws present; holding the lone high card (Queen) maximizes expected value per standard jacks-or-better strategy.
Model's stated reason
Pair of jacks is a guaranteed paying hand; hold them and draw three new cards for a shot at trips or better.
Model's stated reason
Pair of tens is the only made hand; no four-card flush or straight is present, so standard strategy holds the low pair and draws three new cards for the best expected value.
Model's stated reason
Two pair (8s and Qs) is a made hand; hold all four cards and discard the 7h for a shot at a full house while locking in at least two pair.
Model's stated reason
Four diamonds to a flush draw (Td,Kd,9d,2d); discard the offsuit 7s for the best expected value.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 4s is the only made hand; hold the pair and draw three new cards for a shot at trips/quads/full house.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s is worth keeping over a single Jack; discard the rest to draw for three of a kind or better.
