First, you got dealt a really awful hand, sorry. But it would be better to set XXX /5 3 2 /9 7

The loose plan is to make 9s-up (or 7s-up) in back and 5s-up (or 3s-up) in the mid and to backdoor an FL pair on top. Of course, you would be open to making a full house in back or two straights if the cards should fall that way, but that won't happen all that often. On the first draw, play the 3 in the mid and the 7 in back, giving you a pair in mid and in back. On the second draw put the K on top (to allow an FL draw) and the 6 in back, still with an eye to a 2-pair/2-pair/FL pair structure. On the third draw, put the 2 in the mid, making 2-pair, and the 8 on top as a consolation draw to a 3-point pair of 8s if things work out that way. On the last draw make your hand by playing the 6 in back and brick the top with the J. You don't make any royalties, but you avoid fouling, and you end up winning the mid and top.
