I've only ever played 5cd in OT tourneys/sngs...I figuired it can't be wrong to play ubertight though.

i think it's better to discard three than keep the pair + an ace, so: 2877A, discard the A28, keep the sevens. But meh, I don't really know what I'm doing either.

i am, admittedly, very clueless as well. i have played two >$5 6-handed 5 card draw sngs as a warm up and won both(obv double brag), but that was b/c i raised AFC on the bubble and nobody wanted play. But, I have no fucking clue if any of the decisions I make are remotely close to not terrible.

Also, don't draw three to a pair. Draw two to a pair. You have better odds if you draw to two because you can make two pair or 3 of a kind. Don't use these tips against me.

I used to play years ago and I think its best to discard 2 when you have an Ace and a pair because:
1) It allows you to disguise your hand and you can represent trips. When you discard 3 then know that you have EXACTLY a pair (or worse).
2) 2 cards to draw to either trips or Aces up is a better play than 3 cards drawing for just trips. (of course you can still make 2 pair)
No math behind this but I seem to remember the better players mixing it up this way.

You have the SAME odds of drawing 2 pair if you discard 2 or 3 since obviously when you look at the 1st of your 3 discards you can draw that same card with one of your last 2 just as easily as you can if you keep one random card.
However, there is an advantage to keeping an Ace since Aces up obviously will beat all other 2 pair hands.
