you have the option of paying a big blind to receive an extra card that you must discard preflop

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know that I'd want to pay for a card I had to discard. A big blind seems like a steep price just to have 49 unknown cards out there instead of 50.

would you pay the 2 BBs to keep 3 cards on the flop?

[/ QUOTE ]

According to the original post you if you pay 2 BB's you can keep the extra card till after the flop. I'm assuming that I can remember the card between the time its dealt and the time I would be forced to throw it away after the flop, so that seems like a real waste of a BB just to have the card in my hand instead of in the muck.
