First hand at the table, which is why I posted out of position.
Do I discard my 8 here on the third draw? With Villain ready to call my pat hand down, I'm thinking that an 8-7-6 is no good. It seems quite obvious that Villain has a made 8 -- a made 7 would have probably bet or C/R'd after the second draw. A made 9 might be willing to call me down heads up, but with PlayerB still drawing, I don't see Villain standing pat on a 9.
Is breaking up the 8-7-6 standard here, a judgment call, or is it terrible?
