Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No pair or flush/straight draw present; holding the three unsuited high cards (A,K,Q) maximizes chances of forming a pair of jacks-or-better or better while keeping royal/straight potential alive.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 7s is the only made hand; hold both 7s and draw three new cards for trips/full house/quads chances.
Model's stated reason
Pair of jacks is a guaranteed paying hand; hold the jacks and draw three new cards for a chance to improve.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 9s outranks the non-sequential three-card flush; keeping the pair and drawing three cards is the standard optimal play.
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
Three of a kind (7-7-7) is held; discard the Ace and 3 to draw for four of a kind or full house.
Model's stated reason
Four cards to an open-ended straight (9-T-J-Q) outrank the embedded three-card flush; discarding the lone 6d maximizes straight/high-pair equity.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 8s is a low pair; standard strategy holds just the pair and draws three new cards for the best EV.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 6s is the only made hand; hold both sixes and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 4s has higher expected value than holding scattered high cards; keep the pair and draw three new cards.
Model's stated reason
Only a low pair of 5s has value; hold them and draw three new cards for a chance at trips or better.
Model's stated reason
No pair, straight, or flush draw; holding the lone high card (Jack) maximizes expected value per standard Jacks or Better strategy.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 2s is the only made value; hold the pair and draw three for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
No pair, no made hand, and only scattered low cards with no 4-card flush/straight draw or suited high cards; best EV is to discard everything and draw a fresh five.
Model's stated reason
Pair of aces is a guaranteed paying hand; hold them and draw three new cards for a shot at trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 6s is the only made hand; keep the pair and draw three new cards rather than chase a weak three-card flush.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of threes is kept over a lone king; drawing three new cards gives good equity for trips/two pair while a single high card doesn't justify holding a kicker.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 2s outranks a non-royal 3-card flush draw in optimal 9/6 Jacks or Better strategy, so I hold the pair and draw three new cards.
Model's stated reason
Pair of queens is a made paying hand; discard the unrelated J,7,8 to draw three new cards and chase trips/full house/quads.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 6s is the only made value; hold the pair and draw three new cards for shots at trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Hold the suited Tc-Jc for royal/straight flush/flush potential and a shot at a high pair; discard the unconnected low cards.
Model's stated reason
Pair of jacks is the only made hand; hold both jacks and draw three new cards for best EV.
Model's stated reason
Pair of Kings is a made paying hand; hold both kings and draw three new cards for chances at three/four of a kind or full house.
Model's stated reason
No pair or flush/straight draw present; holding the two unsuited high cards (J,K) maximizes expected value per standard jacks-or-better strategy.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 6s is the only made hand; hold both 6s and draw three new cards for a shot at trips/quads.
Model's stated reason
Jd, Td, Kd form three cards to a royal flush (10-J-K of diamonds), which outranks any other draw here since there's no pair or four-flush; discarding the 4c and 2h maximizes EV.
Model's stated reason
No pair or made hand; holding the lone ace is the standard highest-EV play over three low hearts or a weak three-flush.
Model's stated reason
No pair or flush/straight draw; holding three unsuited high cards (J,Q,K) maximizes chances of forming jacks-or-better or better.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 9s is low (doesn't pay) but best kept to draw for trips/full house/quads, discarding the rest for fresh cards.
Model's stated reason
Only a lone jack has value; no pairs, flush, or straight draws present, so hold the J and draw four new cards for a shot at a pair or better.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or draw; keep lone King as the only high card with pair potential and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Pair of 8s is the only made hand value; hold both 8s and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
Pair of kings is a made paying hand; keep just the pair and draw three new cards for the best expected value (chance at trips/quads/full house).
Model's stated reason
Pair of 7s (low pair) has higher expected value than the weak 3-card diamond flush draw, so hold the pair and draw three new cards.
Model's stated reason
No pair, flush, or straight draw present; keep the lone King as the only high card with jacks-or-better potential and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Kd-Jd-Td form three cards to a royal flush, which outranks the four-card inside straight; discarding 5s and 9c maximizes EV.
Model's stated reason
Hold the suited Jd-Ad (two cards toward a royal flush), which outranks the unsuited three-high-card holding in long-run EV.
Model's stated reason
Four hearts (Th, Ah, 5h, 6h) give a strong flush draw, which outperforms keeping the low pair of sixes in expected value.
