• Keep any hand that is already a winning hand. You may make an exception and go for a higher payout if you have 3 cards of a Royal Flush, or 4 cards of a Straight Flush, Straight, or Flush.
  
  
• Don't hold 4 cards of a Straight that can only be completed one way (an "inside" Straight).
  
  
• Don't hold 3 cards of the same suit hoping for a Flush, unless it could potentially become a Straight Flush.
  
  
• If you have a Pair or 3-of-a-Kind, don't hold a single high card with the hope of making another Pair.
  
  
• Keep two or three high cards of the same suit, and discard the rest. (Note: a "high" card is one that pays on having a Pair.)
  
  
• If you are dealt four high cards of mixed suits, keep them all and discard the 5th.
  
  
• Keep three high cards of mixed suits if they are consecutive; otherwise, discard the one that is not in sequence.
  
  
• Keep two high cards of mixed suits and discard the rest, if you have none of the above.
  
  
• Keep one high card and discard the rest, if you have none of the above.
