Strategy decisions are entirely up to you as a player. In a contest, the right strategy may sometimes vary from optimal strategy, given you are trying to overcome great scores and are not putting any money at risk. Since there are only prizes for the very best scores, some players may choose to make holds that give them the best opportunity at a big winner. Also keep in mind that in the event that two or more players have the same "best" hand in a session, the winner will be determined by all the other hands in that session. To determine the most appropriate strategy, a player should consider the available pay tables, features of the game, and the likelihood of converting on each opportunity.
