Video Poker table

Hold the low pair of twos and draw three cards; that has higher expected value than keeping the ace or any other subset.

Low pair of eights is the best hold; discard the ace, ten, and four to draw for trips, two pair, or a full house.

Kc and Jc are suited high cards forming a two-card royal draw; holding both maximizes expected return versus any smaller hold or the low suited 89.

Ace-Jack of spades is two to a royal and the best hold; the offsuit ten only blocks flushes and lowers EV versus redrawing three cards.

No pair, high card, or playable straight/flush draw, so the maximum-EV play is to discard all five.

Hold the made pair of jacks and discard the three low cards to draw for three of a kind or better.

Queen-ten of hearts is a two-card royal draw, which outranks keeping the unsuited ace with the queen. Discard the ace and both low cards.

Holding the jacks pair yields about 1.54 per credit, far above the three-spade flush draw or any kicker hold.

Hold the low pair of sixes and discard the rest; it has higher expected value than any other pattern.

Holding the low pair of fives yields higher expected payout than keeping the ace-king or any other subset.

Pair of tens is the only made value; hold both tens and draw three cards to improve to trips, two pair, full house, or quads.

Ace-Jack suited is the best hold: it keeps the royal and straight draws, which beat keeping the low heart for a three-card flush.

Hold only the pair of eights; a low pair's draw value beats any kicker or the weaker three-card flush.

Low pair of eights has the highest expected payout; three-card spade draws and the lone jack are worth far less.

Pair of tens is the only paying seed; no four-card flush or straight. Holding the low pair (~0.82) beats unsuited KJ or a single high card.

No pair, high card, flush draw, or straight draw; discard all five.

Four diamonds to a flush (with an ace) returns about 6.06 credits, beating the low pair of eights at about 4.12 and every other hold.

Low pair of deuces is the only paying draw; hold both twos and discard the king and offsuit cards to maximize three of a kind, two pair, full house, and quads.

Ace-King unsuited is the best hold: it outdraws the ace-ten-eight diamond flush fragment and any single high card.

Four clubs to a flush returns about 1.21 per credit from the flush and jack-pair outs, far above holding the ace-jack or any smaller draw.

Hold the unsuited ace and jack; two high cards is the highest-EV pattern here with no qualifying straight or flush draw.

Three of a kind is already a paying hand; keep the three 8s and draw two cards for a full house or four of a kind.

Lone ace is the only high card and there is no four-card straight or flush draw; holding it maximizes pair and improvement chances over the weak 6-7-8 or a full discard.

Two pair of sixes and tens; discard the 3c kicker to draw one card for a full house, which has higher EV than standing pat.

Holding the pair of tens is the highest-EV play; a low pair outperforms the three-heart flush draw and all other partial holds.

Hold the pair of tens and discard the rest; no flush or straight draw is present, and a low pair is the best starting hand.

Hold the pair of queens; it already pays jacks or better and is the highest-EV keep versus drawing three to the pair.

Low pair of sixes is the best hold; kickers and the three-flush do not beat drawing three to the pair.

Made pair of jacks is the only paying holding; discard the three kickers and draw three.

No pair or paying draw; keep the lone king so the redraw can make jacks or better, and discard the four low cards.
