Default Re: Triple Draw Decision-- Wynn 10/20 Mixed

What hands are good to check/call and stand pat with in a 4 way pot. Well, that's a terrible way to play any hand. Still, I think you'd have to be massively bad to do that with an 8. It's not exactly the most subtle read in this situation.

The problem is, there's no unbreakable worse 9 that's particularly believable here, unless you're willing to believe SB is going to three-bet and draw one with something like 8754. Those players aren't very common. In contrast I see players take this line with 8xxx3 all the time.

Similarly, standing into multiple players with 98xx3 or 98xx2 is pretty uncommon. Just about everyone draws at those.

I agree that you have to be very bad to take the check-call and stand line at all. But the common very bad player is nearly always doing this with an 8.
