Common2-7 Blind defense situation.

Say you're in the BB facing a MP raise and defend with 863.
Both of you draw 2.

You catch nicely and improve to 8632. This is a check/call I assume?

You check call. Both of you discard 1 and catch a T, making T8632, OOP in a medium sized pot.

What's your line?

I seem to find this situation alot and with a hand like T8632 I like to bet/fold and pat it. Opinions?

Fold before first draw. Bet when I catch the deuce. Bet/pat if opponent calls, bet/break usually if he raises with the T.

Against a button or sb open I would, not vs a decent/unknown MP. If folding is a mistake I think it's a tiny one and if calling is a mistake it's a tiny one so I don't think it matters that much.

If the guy opening sucks (doesn't really matter whether he's weak or just retarded/loose) then I'll call easily.
