I wish I could say more but I'm really not familiar with how powerful your hand actually is here. It looks really good to me but I know it's a lot easier to make a good hand in A-5 than in 2-7 so perhaps your hand is much more marginal than I think.

Well (thinking out loud), 75321 is #8. Equivalent to 86532 in 2-7. In theory, there are the same number of ways to draw any given hand in either game. You can make any hand by catching one card to one of four different four card hands, or two specific cards to one of ten different three card hands. But relative to the numerical rankings, there are more rough draws in 2-7, because of straight possibilities - no one is making 86543 by drawing to 6543. but I don't think that comes into play too much for the top ten or so hands for 1-card draws b/c every 2-7 hand up to 86543 has all clean 4 card draws. But for two card draws it matter a lot - All the hands with 6s will be drawn a little less often, since some of those 862 type hands will be pitched predraw, and three card straight draws like 345 also don't make it to made hands i.e. it seems like wheel cards are closer to equivalent in A-5 than they are in 2-7, the 2 is more important than the A, and there's no A-5 equivalent of the 7.

so maybe 75321 is the equivalent of like #10, a perfect 75 ~ a perfect 87?
