Hold the pair of fours and discard the rest. A made low pair outranks the weak offsuit 4-6-7 and lone king as a draw.

Low pair of fives is the only paying seed; no four-card straight or flush, so hold both fives and draw three.

Low pair of sevens is the only made hand; in 9/6 Jacks or Better the pair alone is the highest-EV hold, so the 5, king, and ace are discarded.

Pair of aces is a made jacks-or-better; holding only the pair maximizes expected return versus any kicker or alternate draw.

Low pair of sixes is the only made value; discard the ace, eight, and seven to draw for trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Pair of aces is already a paying hand; the other three cards do not form a straight or flush draw worth keeping, so discard them and draw three.

No pair, straight, or flush draw. Holding only the king is the highest-EV play, since jacks or better pays on a king pair and the other cards are low and unconnected.

Low pair of nines is the only paying seed; no flush or straight draw beats holding the pair and drawing three.

No pair, flush, or straight draw. Ace and King are the only paying high cards, so hold both unsuited and discard the rest.

Low pair of sixes is the best hold; kickers and the unsuited queen-king do not beat keeping the pair and drawing three.

Hold the low pair of twos; it is the highest-EV option, with no flush, straight, or high-card draw worth chasing instead.

Pair of aces is already a paying hand; holding only the aces maximizes draws to trips, full house, and quads. The other cards do not form a flush or straight draw worth keeping.

Only the ace is worth keeping: no pair, no four-card draw, and no suited straight-flush potential, so the high-card hold beats discarding all or keeping low kickers.

No pair, no high card, and no four-card straight or flush draw. Discarding all five is the highest-EV play in 9/6 Jacks or Better.

Hold the pair of eights and discard the rest; a low pair is the best draw here with no stronger straight or flush potential.

Hold the unsuited ace and jack, the only high cards; no pair, flush, or straight draw is worth keeping instead.

Pair of kings already pays; discard the three kickers to maximize trips, full house, and quads.

No pair, flush draw, or straight draw. Holding the lone king is the highest-EV pattern; the low cards do not justify a partial hold.

Holding the three tens is the clear best play; drawing two cards can improve to a full house or four of a kind.

Hold the unpaired king and queen; they are the only jacks-or-better cards and give a higher expected return than any one-card hold or keeping the ten.

No pair, flush, or open straight; 5-6-8-9 is only an inside straight (EV ~0.34). Holding the lone queen is the higher-EV draw.

Low pair of threes is the only paying seed; no flush or straight draw beats holding it and drawing three.

Two pair is already made; discarding the king kicker is the highest-EV draw, since four of the remaining 47 cards make a full house.

Hold the pair of kings and discard the three low kickers; a high pair is the best made hand and drawing three cards maximizes expected value.
