Is BB calling with a set often enough to make this worthwhile? One of those plays where you feel like a genius when he turns over 88, or a complete idiot when he turns over J9.

If it's close I'll plead metagame.

Definitely better to draw to the nuts. You could be drawing to a chop.

Given that you did draw, playing it the way you did is good.
