Some Questions

I play stud here and there. I am definitly not a great player but I have read and absorbed 7 stud for advanced players. As I sat down at a party .5/1(or 1/2, can't remember) game I remember seeing a hand that I can't really get out of my head. On 5th street(when I sat it) the hands were as follows.

Player A-XX 8228
Player B-XX 7648
Player C-XX 9863

I'll be honest I do not remember suits, but I don't think anyone had a 3 flush showing. Anyway Player A bets and both players fold. Now this seems like a relatively strange fold. First player A obviously has at least 2 pair, and maybe a boat. But he couldn't of had 8s full since B and C also have an 8.

Now it appears that players b and c could have been drawing to straights. Ignoring any flush possibilies(since I don't remember exact suits and we don't know downcards, what odds/conditions would it be correct to chase to a straight.

Now if the hand was played out a little different or we knew the other opponents downcards I think I could figuire out a play, but my limited experience is coming into play. Player A's cards were XX 8228. It seems relatively unlikely that he could have a full house now. Normally him pairing his door card would scare me off, but both 8s are dead and he could easily just have 2 pair.

So what is your play on 5th street. Folding seems to weak, but I suppose it also depends on the quality of the draw.

Any thoughts on this would be great.
