Re: 3456
For what my novice opinion is worth I usually play the hand VERY fast when in a HU situation. Say I raise on the button with 6543 and some donkey calls in the SB, draws two, I then usually draw one looking to either catch an 8 or a duece(obviously planning on tossing the 6 if the 2 comes). I find with position this isnt a bad move at all because its more like playing the player rather than the cards. Your drawing one and he/she is drawing two and sometimes more. The idea of being ahead is sometimes good enough to pick up the pot after the second draw, and you could obviously make a 86, or some very smooth hand if you catch the 2 and toss the 6. This just really sucks when you catch a 7...
I dont think this move is going to be profitable against better players, but against people who will often times defend with hands even worse than 6543 then it obviously works quite well.
