What the coach saw
Your hand leans toward Pairs Hands (3 pairs, which jokers can't fill). Second option: Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9).
Three or more pairs, consider steering toward a pairs-style line.
The strongest category here is Pairs Hands (3 pairs, which jokers can't fill). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9).
Keep and pass

East: an unpaired East, and your direction is Pairs Hands
North: an unpaired North, and your direction is Pairs Hands
