In this thread https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=515344&goto=lastpost The topic of snowing in 5-Card Draw was raised
Snowing in a draw game is the practice of standing pat when you have a hand that one would normally draw some cards.

So if someone stands pat, with what hands to you call post-draw when you yourself don't have a straight, flush, full house or straight flush.
Well obviously, if you hit quads or a decent full house, you can raise, but what if you don't have such a hand?

Since some players will pat weak two-pair hands, I will call a pat hand if I hit trips when drawing 3.

PokerStars No Limit 5 Card Draw $0.10/$0.25 - 5 players

Button: $9.20
SB: $14.57
BB: $17.98
UTG: $24.28 (Hero)
CO: $28.29

Dealing Hands: ($0.35) 7♦:T♣:K♠:5♥:K♦: (5 players)
Hero raises to $0.75, 2 folds, SB folds, BB raises to $1.50, Hero calls $0.75

First Draw: ($3.10) (2 players)
BB stands, Hero discards 3,
K♠:K♦: || J♣:T♦:K♥:
BB bets $1.75, Hero calls $1.75

BB showed A♠:Q♣:A♥:Q♥:8♣:, two pair, Aces and Queens
Hero showed K♠:K♦:J♣:T♦:K♥:, three of a kind, Kings
Hero won $6.30
(Rake: $0.30)

In villain's place it may have been better to draw, since drawing one can be a flush draw, trips, two pair or even quads.
