Default Re: 3456

On the first two draws, I'd much rather draw to 345 than 3456. It allows me to either make the hand or fold. Oddly, catching an 8 is probably the best possible card using either tactic.

With position and a fairly predicatable opponent, keeping the 6 is probably much better though. I don't play that way because I don't know the math well enough to fold after the second draw for one bet with a one card draw HU. Though, really, it's probably correct to fold a lot of the time against passive opponents.

Obviously, I'm only talking about 2-3 handed play. Anything more than that, and I'm only playing 3456 with a duplicated card or two to steal the blinds or defend the BB against a semi-loose opponent.
