Video Poker table

No made hand or draw; Ace is the single best keeper since J and A are unsuited/unconnected, maximizing pair equity while keeping draw flexibility.

No made hand or draw; only the lone Ace has value, so hold just the Ace and draw four fresh cards.

Hold the suited A-J of hearts for royal/flush/straight potential; discard the unrelated 4c, Ts, 9s.

No pair or draw; keep the lone high card (Qc) and discard the rest for a fresh draw.

No pair or draw present; holding the lone Ace maximizes expected value per standard jacks-or-better strategy.

Low pair of 3s is the only made value; keep both and draw three fresh cards for a shot at trips/two pair/quads, which beats any partial straight/flush draw here.

Low pair of 3s outranks a 3-card flush draw in 9/6 jacks EV; hold the pair and draw three new cards.

Low pair of 3s is stronger than any single or double high card draw here; hold the pair and draw three new cards.

Low pair of 5s is the strongest holding; keep both 5s and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

No made hand or draw; keep the lone Ace as the only high card and draw four new cards for the best chance at jacks-or-better or better.

No pair; holding the two unsuited high cards (J,Q) has higher expected value than the unsuited 3-card straight draw or a single high card, per optimal jacks-or-better strategy.

Pair of Queens is a made high pair (guaranteed jacks-or-better payout); the 9-T-K diamonds only form an inside straight draw with no flush potential, which is far weaker in EV than keeping the pair and drawing three fresh cards.

Low pair of 3s is the best held hand; keep the pair and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or quads.

Low pair of 8s is not jacks-or-better, so hold just the pair and draw three for shots at trips, full house, or quads.

No made hand or draw; hold the lone Ace as the only high card with jacks-or-better potential, discard the rest.

Pair of Kings is the best kept hand; hold KK and draw three new cards for chances at trips, quads, or full house.

No made hand or draw; only the lone jack has value, so hold it and draw four fresh cards for the best expected return.

Pair of Aces is a made paying hand; keeping just the pair and drawing three has higher EV than chasing a weak 3-card flush draw.

No made hand or strong draw; holding the lone King (a jacks-or-better high card) has higher EV than any 3-card flush or discarding everything.

Holding the three unsuited high cards (A,K,J) beats keeping only the two suited high cards (A,J) per standard Jacks-or-Better strategy, since three high cards outranks a 2-card flush draw in EV.

No pairs or draws present; holding the lone high card (Queen) maximizes expected value per standard jacks-or-better strategy.

No pair or four-card draw present; holding the lone Ace maximizes EV by keeping a shot at a high pair while drawing four new cards.

No pair or draw present; keep the two unsuited high cards (J,Q) for the best jacks-or-better/pair potential while discarding the rest.

No pair; holding the suited A-Q diamonds gives the best combined flush/straight/royal potential compared to any single high card.

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; standard strategy is to hold the lone high card (Ace) and draw four new cards.

Pair of aces is a made paying hand; hold the pair and draw three for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

No pair or draw; only the lone jack has value, so hold it and draw four fresh cards.

No pair or flush draw; keep 8-9-10-Q as a 4-card inside straight (needs a Jack) which also offers a shot at a queen pair, discarding the lone 3.

7-8-9-10 is an open-ended straight draw; discarding the lone 3d to draw for a 6 or J gives the best expected value here.

Pair of jacks is the best made hand; hold the jacks and draw three new cards for shots at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

A made high pair (KK) has higher expected value than the 4-card flush draw in 9/6 Jacks or Better, so I hold just the kings and draw three new cards.

Holding the pair of 3s gives realistic shots at two pair, trips, or quads, which outperforms a 3-card flush draw or a lone ace kicker.

Holding the low pair (9s) has higher expected value than keeping unsuited high cards J-K; draw three for a shot at trips, two pair, or better.

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; holding the lone jack keeps the only shot at a paying high pair while maximizing redraw potential.

Holding the low pair of 4s beats keeping three unconnected diamonds; pair gives better EV via two-pair/trips/quads/flush combos than a 3-card flush draw.

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; holding the lone Ace maximizes EV by keeping a shot at a high pair.

Hold the pair of 3s and draw three new cards, aiming to improve to trips or better; low pair alone doesn't pay but keeps three-of-a-kind/full-house upside.

No pair or draw present; holding the lone high card (King) maximizes EV per standard jacks-or-better strategy.
