5 card draw question about taking only two

[brian1175]

I think the biggest situation to take 2 would be when your up against an opponent who likes to lead into you.

Let's say you raise queens from the button and the BB calls. He takes 3, If he likes to lead I will take 2 so he will have to think twice about leading out. Then I can check down or bet depending on what happens.

Another thing about drawing 2 or 3. The actual odds isn't enough to even make me care what is better, but mixing it up is priceless
