Triple Draw, Most marginal drawing decision

[randomstumbl]

What do you do with 22259? I've had this hand a couple times in the last few days and I honestly could never decide an obviously best move. Opening from the cutoff, I set up a snow. Defending the big blind, I drew 3.

Does anyone see an obvious preference between snowing, drawing two and drawing three?

I generally prefer to draw three. I've been more and more discounting the value of key cards in my snows recently. Especially deuces, which seem most useful in making more successful blind steals.

Also, welcome back random. Hope you'll stick around.

My thought is that you can snow as long as you draw two or less on the opening round. When you're drawing three, you pretty much commit yourself to going to showdown.

Right now, I'm winning so many hands without a showdown that I think the ability to pat when they're drawing is worth a lot more than the 7's and smooth 8's you're going to hit drawing three.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been around; I'll keep posting if I come across something interesting.
