How often do you pitch the 6 and how often do you pitch the 7 going in to the last draw?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is a free card, I always pitch the 6. You're hoping for a miracle, it might as well be a good one. (You're right that the 86 is stronger, but it is often the case that some of your 8s are gone as well as the 2s so you have not necessarily increased the number of live outs.) Your possible 97 or T7 is unlikely to be significantly better than a 96 or T6.

Against 2 opponents that are both drawing 1 in front of you?

How did I get in this situation multiway? I fold 345, 745, 763 and worse, etc. except if defending my blind against one player (an even then I usually fold 345.) In these cases I'm looking to draw a 2 or an 8 on the first draw and will seriously consider folding otherwise.

A possible straight like 3456 is OK to steal with and maybe play, but you are really looking to play heads-up and make your hand while the draws are cheap. You are want to hit a 2 (drop the 6), 7 (drop the 6) or 8 (stand pat) the first draw. If you don't find it, consider checking through even if a card ahead, unless your opponent can be convinced to fold (drawing three, say.)

A small pot will help you make the right play here by folding to action from the other players. Paying nearly any amount of money to make this draw is losing proposition.

Against 2 opponets 1 of whom is drawing 1 the other of whom raised and is standing pat?


[/ QUOTE ]

Fold to the raise, there is no way you are getting pot odds to draw to a wheel, and your 86543 is unlikely to be good.

Against 2 opponetnts both of whom are pat?


[/ QUOTE ]

Discard the 6, fold to any action on the previous round.

OOP against 2 opponents who both drew 1 last time, 1 of whom raised?


[/ QUOTE ]

Fold to the raise unless the pot is very large, and try not to play potential straights OOP multiway.
