Keep the three clubs for a flush draw. The other cards do not form a paying hand or a stronger draw.

The jack is the only high card. The other cards do not form a promising straight or flush draw, so I’m drawing four.

Keep the pair of nines and draw three cards to improve to a paying hand.

The king is the strongest hold. The three hearts are too disconnected to make the flush draw preferable.

Hold the pair of threes and draw three cards. It has better expected value than keeping the suited ten and jack.

Keep the ace and draw four cards. The other cards do not form a strong enough straight or flush draw to justify holding them.

Keep the four spades toward a royal flush and discard the 2d. Drawing the Ts completes the royal, with other draws offering additional payouts.

Keep both pairs and draw one card for a chance at a full house.

Hold the unsuited queen and king, giving two chances to make a paying high pair and opportunities to improve further.

Holding the pair of threes offers better expected value than drawing to the three-card flush or keeping the lone jack.

Keeping the ace and jack gives two chances to make a paying high pair, with draws to two pair or better. The three diamonds are not connected enough to justify chasing a flush.

Keep the paying pair of jacks and draw three cards to improve to two pair, three of a kind, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keep the 4♣, 5♣, and 7♣. This three-card straight-flush draw offers strong flush and straight potential, including two possible straight flushes.

Keep the two unsuited high cards, ace and queen, for the best expected return.

Keep the pair of sixes and draw three cards for a chance to improve to two pair, three of a kind, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keep the pair of fours. Drawing three cards to the pair has a higher expected payout than chasing the three-card spade draw.

Hold the jack and draw four cards. The other cards do not form a strong straight or flush draw.

Keep the queen and draw four cards. The 6♦–7♦ suited draw is too weak to outweigh the chance of pairing the queen.

Keep the paying pair of jacks and draw three cards for chances to improve to two pair, three of a kind, a full house, or four of a kind.

Keeping both pairs guarantees a payout, with four remaining cards that can improve the hand to a full house.
