Action timeline

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 4s only qualifying hold; discard Qc, Th, 5s to draw three new cards for a chance at trips, full house, or quads.

Model's stated reason

No pairs or draws; only one high card (King) present, so hold it alone and draw four new cards for the best expected value per standard Jacks-or-Better strategy.

Model's stated reason

Three kings is a strong made hand; hold the trip kings and draw two new cards for a shot at four of a kind or full house.

Model's stated reason

No pair or flush draw; the 3-5-6-7 gutshot has zero high cards, so holding the lone Ace has higher EV than chasing the inside straight.

Model's stated reason

Holding Ace and Jack (unsuited high cards) maximizes chances of forming a paying pair or better; discarding the low unconnected cards.

Model's stated reason

Hold the pair of tens (low pair) and draw three new cards, discarding the unrelated 4s, 5d, 2d for the best expected value.

Model's stated reason

Pair of aces is a stronger holding than a four-card inside straight (needs specific Q), so keep AA and draw three.

Model's stated reason

Pair of 9s is low pair; hold only the pair and draw three new cards for best EV.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 4s is the best held hand; standard strategy holds low pairs over unrelated high cards.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of threes has higher EV than holding a single high card or garbage; discard the rest and draw three.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of fives beats holding three unsuited high cards; keep the pair and draw three new cards for the best expected value.

Model's stated reason

Four cards to a flush (3c, Jc, 9c, Ac) is a strong draw; discard the off-suit 8h and draw one card to complete the flush.

Model's stated reason

Jd/Qd form two suited high cards toward a royal flush, which beats holding three unsuited high cards or any other partial draw here; discard 2h, 9h, and Ac.

Model's stated reason

Holding the open-ended straight draw (3-4-5-6) with 8 outs to a straight outperforms keeping the lone Jack per optimal Jacks-or-Better strategy.

Model's stated reason

No pair, no four-card flush or straight draw (only three diamonds), so discard everything for a fresh draw.

Model's stated reason

Holding 8s-9s-Tc-Jd forms an open-ended four-card straight draw (needs 7 or Q), which has higher EV than holding just the lone jack; discarding the 4c.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of fives beats holding three unrelated high cards; keep the pair and draw three new cards for better EV.

Model's stated reason

No pair, flush, or straight draw present; keep the two unsuited high cards (T,J) for the best chance at a jacks-or-better pair and discard the rest.

Model's stated reason

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

Model's stated reason

No made hand; A-T are suited high cards giving royal/flush/straight/high-pair potential, which outperforms a weak 3-card flush that includes a low kicker.

Model's stated reason

Pair of Kings is the strongest holding value; keep KK and draw three new cards for chances at trips, full house, or four of a kind.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 9s outranks the unconnected 3-card club flush (A-Q-9 not suited straight-flush draw), so hold the pair and draw three new cards.

Model's stated reason

Hold the pair of queens and draw three new cards; keeping a lone ace kicker reduces two-pair/trips/quads equity compared to drawing three fresh cards.

Model's stated reason

Four-card open-ended straight (2-3-4-5) needs an Ace or 6 to complete; discard the lone Queen kicker for the best draw.

Model's stated reason

No pair or draw; holding the three unsuited high cards (Q,K,A) gives the best jacks-or-better/high-card EV since none form a suited royal draw.

Model's stated reason

Two pair (77 and 99) is a made hand paying 10 credits; discard the King kicker and keep both pairs for a guaranteed two-pair payout with a small shot at improving to four of a kind or full house.

Model's stated reason

No pair, straight, or flush draw present; the lone King is the only card worth keeping, so discard the rest for a fresh draw.

Model's stated reason

Pair of 9s is a low pair; standard strategy holds the pair and draws three new cards for the best expected value versus other options like a 3-card flush draw.

Model's stated reason

Discard the lone jack and keep the open-ended 3-4-5-6 straight draw, which has higher EV than a single high card.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 5s: hold the pair and draw three new cards, which has higher EV than holding kickers like Kc/Js.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of sixes offers better EV than any unpaired high-card hold; keep the pair and draw three.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 3s only pays if it improves; best EV is keeping the pair of 3s alone since low pair beats most redraw options, discarding the three unrelated cards.

Model's stated reason

Four cards to a flush (spades) is stronger than the low pair of 6s, so discard the 6h and draw for the flush.

Model's stated reason

Pair of aces is a made paying hand; discard the three kickers to draw for two pair, trips, or better while keeping the guaranteed jacks-or-better payout as floor.

Model's stated reason

Hold the pair of Queens (jacks-or-better pair) and draw three new cards; this maximizes EV over kicker holds like the King.

Model's stated reason

No pair or four-card draw; keep the lone Jack as the only high card for a shot at jacks-or-better on redraw.

Model's stated reason

Low pair of 4s is the strongest holding; keep both 4s and draw three new cards for a chance at trips, two pair, or full house.

Model's stated reason

Two pair (Aces and Twos) is a made hand; hold both pairs and discard the King for a chance at a full house or better.

Model's stated reason

Pair of tens is the only made hand; hold the pair and draw three new cards for a shot at trips or better.
