2-7 Triple Rough 8 on first draw
This is from a 2/4 T.O.E. game on Phenom. I do not have any history with this opponent.
MP opens and Hero calls in BB with 752.
1st draw goes 2-1. I makes 87652. I decide to check raise. MP calls.
2nd draw goes 0-2. Yes he goes from a draw 1 to a draw 2. I lead out and MP raises now. I call.
3rd draw goes 0-0. I x/c and he turns over 76542. Mainly called just to see his cards. I know it was maybe obvious what he had but just wanted confirmation so I can get a better read on this player in the future.
Couple questions:
Is the check raise after first draw okay?
What are we supposed to do with rough pat 8 once we get raised after 2nd draw in this situation? Given that he felt our hand was strong enough to draw 2, his raise seems extremely strong.
Once he bets the river, how often are we folding given his line?
Any other thoughts are welcome. Thanks yall!

In theory people can attack BB 2->pats pretty aggressively as they will often be rough, but the fact that he went 1-2-pat is a really unusual line so I dont expect he will be raising to force rough hands to break at the correct frequency. If he broke a 1-card 9-draw then he is making a mistake in drawing to it in the first place, and if he broke the 876xx draw when you patted then he is making a mistake because you can have lots of 9s with a straight draw here.
I think its OK to just call down and make a note here, needing to be good 10% of the time on the river.
You played fine in theory but can fold river against most humans and exploit a very under bluffed spot
