To use this chart just look up your hand and play it in the manner that is closest to the top of the chart. For example: you are dealt (6♣,6♦,7♥,8♠,9♣). You keep (6♣,6♦) rather than (6♦,7♥,8♠,9♣) because a low pair (#11) is higher on the chart than a four-card straight with no high cards (#12). Remember to always look for the highest possible choice on the chart when there are multiple ways to play your hand. As another example: you are dealt (8♣,8♦, J♥,Q♥,Κ♥). You keep (J♥,Q♥,Κ♥) rather than (8♣,8♦) because a three-card royal flush (#9) is higher on the chart than a low pair (#11).
