Default Re: 5 card draw question about taking only two

Was the Hand dealt Heads Up or did it end up Heads Up on the Draw ina Full Ring Game?

If it's a heads up match, there really is no point in keeping the King. You're involved in many more hands in HU than you are full ring, so the chances that either player is dealt a Set to play with is rather slim. Draw 3 or draw 2, the other player will have you on a pair in both cases. Drawing 2 might look like a lower pair though, although generally keeping a kicker to your pair is only useful if you are aiming to beat two pair with a higher pair than yours and beating that hand precisely. You might sometimes keep the kicker for deception, especially for when you really are dealt a set. Out of Position I would generally draw 3 here, drawing 2 won't really make the other player behave differently, but you lower your chances of hitting a good hand.
