Based on the hero's equity in the pot, I actually like a call here. Many people would advise raising, but I'd rather encourage the third player to limp along with an inferior hand to help bloat the pot. However since you won't be heads up you better drop the T like it's hot.

I totally agree, yes absolutely keep the 8 and drop the ten. Here is one thing new triple draw players do that is dead wrong: they always try and make the nuts.
