1) Hold any four cards to a straight flush.
2) Hold any three cards to a royal flush.
3) Hold any four cards to a flush.
4) Hold any low pair (tens or lower).
5) Hold any four-card consecutive straight.
6) Hold any two high cards of the same suit.
7) Hold any three cards to a straight flush.
8) Hold J, Q, and K of different suites.
9) Hold any two high cards of different suites.
10) Hold J, Q or K with a Ten of the same suit.
