Whoops. Well, yeah, I'd keep drawing then. An 8 is going to be good as well most of the time.

You don't have the odds if you actually need a 7 to win, but you probably don't need a 7 to win. I think a 96 is going to win here 1/4 the time.

yeah, calling doesn't turn your hand over at all. In fact I'd put ya on 87 often enough that you'll get alot of value from me when you catch a 7. Re-raising assures you'll get little value from me if you do catch the 7 or 8, but will allow ya to outplay me with a 9 if you catch it and it's headsup. I love playing straight draws like this slower for deception value, even down to 2345.

Easy raise predraw. Folding 2nd is player-dependent but probably right given the quality of the Stars 2-7 games. An eight is not winning all the time here.

It is probably a mistake to pat with 9-7-x-x-2 in CO's spot, you should only pat a 9 if you're rough. Even if we can catch an 8 to win, we still have to beat the other two drawers, at least one of which probably has a better hand. Also, in small stakes triple draw games, I find that people rarely will pat light in a multiway pot.

Also, the fact that that the CO capped means more than it should. This is usually a big hand, in this case a smooth 7 draw.
