isn't villain's hand better than Hero's if villain has two cards less than 7 in the hole? 987xx rather than J832A ?

No, actually it isn't. the Jack with the 8-smooth draw is about a 6% favorite on 5th (ignoring the board display advantages that add to your lead imo). If the Jack catches bad and villan catches good on 6th, you're only about a 3:1 dog.

How are you going to play even 2978(3A) against J82A (xx) when you were check-raised on 5th? How aggressive will you play as villian on 7th if you catch less than 7-smooth, if hero is rammin' and jammin' from 5th-river?
