Fold preflop, fold it very very much.

I don't open raise this in a FR game from MP. I think you can open limp this if it is a loose table. Toss it otherwise. This is a speculative hand. You want to play it in a big pot multiway without investing much preflop. Your raise preflop hurts your implied odds quite a bit. This is a good hand to limp in after several limpers.

Flop is pretty much standard. Give it up on the turn. The average hand in FR is stronger than in 6max. He either has an overpair or trips now. He called your preflop raise and your flop bet. So you have little fold equity and less than 20% chance to draw out. And you might already be drawing dead (unlikely though). Check the turn. If he makes a smallish bet that gives you good odds, call. Otherwise toss it. 87s is not a hand that you want to play HU oop with just a draw.
