A few thoughts-I like raising preflop if I am going to play a hand like that.I would then continue to lead at the pot as long as I am even on draws.I would not reraise that river.I am not a great player, but I have been beating up the games pretty well following Daniel's advice in SSII. Your starting and is missing a 2, which makes it vulnerable. I am not wild about starting hands without 2's but with 3 low cards and no 6 it is playable. A 76 vrs a player drawing at one card isn't strong enough to cap on the river.just my thoughts...

You are almost completely wrong about the river. You have a very strong hand, you should be re-raising. A person could easily think you patted a 9, and have hit ANY 8. There is absolutely no way you should just call here with a 7.Anyways, in TD, you should never ever ever limp preflop. You either raise, 3 bet, or get out. Once you get the 2, you should be raising until it's capped. As played, you should've raised the first draw.Since you just called, you should've CHECKED the second draw, and gone for a CR. BTW, Triple Draw tourneys have no jusice, how do people that constantly defend their blinds and draw 4 win them? I was at this FT =/

all right except the bolded part. i will occasionally just call a raise if i have a 2 card draw out of the blinds/oop and the pot is unlikely to get HU.also, i hate triple draw. i got a pat#2 and lost the other day. :(those tourneys on stars, though, wow. people are bad. but thank god, cuz i'd need em to be either really bad or really tight for me to play a 457 utg.

yeah, not to be a jerk but starting with junk hands tends(esp OOP) can get us fairly good hands later after a couple draws that easily and repeastedly get beat. NL, O8, or TD....all have that same concept.Beyond that I'd be jamming once you had the 2xxx, the river is hard to avoid unless you have a good read on the player.

I meant when opened to. I don't really cold-call a lot either, but i didnt know calling a raise = limping

Muck predraw. Problem Solved.As played though, not much you can do here. 3 betting isn't terrible on the last round, just unlucky.
