35678

[Luv2DriveTT]

You are in a 6 way TD 2-7 game, and you are first to act. You draw 35678. What do you do?

You are a TD machine...

I think the best option is to Raise... its time to get aggressive. The goal is to slim the field. However I would also be very careful as the hand progresses. 4 callers to the third draw with at least 1 draw for one or more of them means its time to slow down - FAST. In short, 35678 is a trouble hand.... be aggressive yet careful at the same time.

Comments?

Ditto. I think this is probably too good to fold, even early, and you need to thin the field, hopefully take it down right there or get it heads up.

this hand is too good to fold so you should raise first in, but if you can't limit the field you need to slow down as well.

if you face too much action multiway; don't break your hand, FOLD.

Thanks CDC... thats exactly where I was going with this thread. Looks like you beat me too it!

Is it just me or does it look like OPG has been hijacked by Triple Draw? Thats Awesome!

I play this as fast as possible as early as I can, slow down just as quickly though. I feel like this hand has one path, breaking later is not an option. Fast and furious and get ready to slam on the brakes and ditch.

Saw this earlier this evening, found it pretty amusing. Mathematically how big of an edge did the aggro have in the pot? The pat hand couldn't be ahead here with three draws could he? I know so very little about the probabilities of 72.
