This simply has no bearing whatsoever to how the game of poker works. People like to play hands like 87s BECAUSE they aren't near the top of the preflop hand rankings. This is because they can deceive their opponents and make a lot of money against overpairs like AA, etc. Playing poker predictably means you will lose money to observant opponents.
Things change if this is a tournament and the blinds are very high compared to the stacks. In this case, there is more or less a perfect way to play that is determined by some simple calculations. I don't know how much more I can say on this subject, but I can direct you to an article about such a situation:
