Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Only the lone Queen is worth keeping; the three low diamonds form a weak, non-sequential flush draw that's dominated by holding a single high card for jacks-or-better potential.
Model's stated reason
Holding the three suited connectors (6h-7h-8h) gives an open-ended 3-card straight flush draw, which outranks the inside straight and the lone high cards in this hand.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw present; holding the two unsuited high cards (A, Q) maximizes expected value per standard Jacks or Better strategy.
Model's stated reason
No pair or made hand; the three diamonds (7d-9d-Td) form a one-gap three-card straight flush draw, which outranks holding a lone Qc under optimal Jacks-or-Better strategy.
Model's stated reason
Three of a kind (tens) is a strong made hand; hold the trips and draw two new cards for a shot at four of a kind or full house.
Model's stated reason
Pair of queens is the best made hand; hold both queens and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw present; only the King qualifies as a high card worth keeping, so discard the rest for a fresh chance at a paying hand.
Model's stated reason
T-J-Q-K form an open-ended four-card straight draw; discarding the 3h maximizes straight equity.
Model's stated reason
Two pair (aces and fours) already guarantees a payout; holding both pairs and drawing one card gives a shot at a full house while locking in at least the two-pair win.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw present; keep the two unsuited high cards (J,K) for a shot at jacks-or-better while maximizing dead-card discards.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s is the best held asset; discard the rest to draw three new cards seeking trips, full house, or better.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s has higher expected value than a lone Ace kicker; holding the pair and drawing three new cards maximizes trip/quad/full-house potential.
Model's stated reason
Two suited high cards (Jc, Kc) give strong royal/flush/straight potential outweighing keeping the unsuited Ace; discard the rest.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or draw; keep the two high cards (Ace, Queen) for the best chance at a paying pair or high card combo, discard the rest.
Model's stated reason
No pair, no made hand, and no four-card flush or straight draw; discard all five for the best expected value.
Model's stated reason
No made hand or draw; keep the lone King as the only high card and draw four new cards for best EV.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 6s is the only made hand; hold the pair and draw three new cards for shots at trips/quads/full house.
Model's stated reason
Only Jh and Kh are worth keeping as unsuited high cards; discard the rest to draw toward a pair of jacks or better.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw present; keep the lone jack as a high card for a shot at jacks-or-better and discard the rest.
Model's stated reason
8-9-T-J form a 4-card open-ended straight draw (needs a 7 or Q), which outranks holding just the two suited high cards (Ts-Js) in optimal 9/6 Jacks or Better strategy; discard the 2h.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 5s beats holding a single Jack or Ace kicker; standard strategy holds the pair and draws three new cards.
Model's stated reason
No pair, flush, or straight combo; the lone high card (King) offers better expected value than the zero-high-card inside straight draw (6-7-8-T needing a 9).
Model's stated reason
Ks-Qs are two suited high cards, which beats holding the unsuited K-Q-T inside straight draw or any lower combination in optimal Jacks-or-Better strategy.
Model's stated reason
No pair, straight, or flush draw present; holding the lone King gives the best chance at a paying jacks-or-better pair while discarding the rest for fresh draws.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 4s is the strongest holding; discard the unconnected high cards to draw for trips, full house, or quads.
Model's stated reason
Pair of tens is the only made hand; hold Th Tc and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw; only Qs is a jack-or-better high card worth keeping, so hold it alone and draw four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Only one high card (Qs); the 9s-5s spades don't form a real flush or straight-flush draw, so holding the lone jack-or-better card maximizes EV.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of deuces has higher expected value than any single high card or weak draw; keep the pair and draw three new cards.
Model's stated reason
No pairs or draws present; best expected value comes from holding the lone high card (Qc) and drawing four new cards.
Model's stated reason
Three-card flush draw in diamonds (9d,3d,8d) is the standout hold; the lone Ts and 6c offer no pair or straight potential, so discarding them maximizes flush EV.
Model's stated reason
Low pair of 3s is the only made hand; hold the pair and draw three new cards for best EV toward trips/full house/quads.
Model's stated reason
Pair of Kings is the only made hand; hold both kings and draw three for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.
Model's stated reason
No pair or four-card straight/flush draw; holding the lone high card (King) maximizes chance of forming a paying jacks-or-better hand.
Model's stated reason
No pair or draw; keep the two unsuited high cards (J,Q) for jacks-or-better shot while maximizing draw potential.
Model's stated reason
Pair of Aces is a guaranteed paying hand; holding both aces and drawing three new cards maximizes EV toward three/four of a kind or better while keeping the sure pair.
Model's stated reason
No pairs, flush, or straight draws; only one high card (King) worth keeping since the 4-6-7-8 gutshot lacks any high cards, making it inferior to holding the lone King.
