Re: Situation I\'m unsure of TD 2-7.
With this read (I've seen players like this, too) I would tend to break an 87 draw but keep an 86 or 85, unless Villian is a tricky player who might 3-bet and keep a 9 if he gets it HU.
With the 87 it is far too easy to be outplayed on the 3rd round. Breaking gives you the option to fold unimproved or make a call (or bet) that is much more likely to be correct. You are trading a 20% decrease in your probability of making an 8 for about 20% chance of making a 7.
On the other hand, getting free cards on the second and third rounds when you have a worse draw has some value, too.
