OK, let's unpack this a bit. HU, there are 236xx hands you're going to want to play by discarding the 236: 236KK, etc. There are probably 236xx hands you're going to want to play as 236: 2236T? It's really unlikely there are 236xx hands you want to fold, because basically every hand should expect to lose less than a small bet against a 100% range, and conversely every hand should expect to lose less than half a small bet when on the button. Archie is like LHE only more so. (I don't actually know this about Archie, but I do about TD high and I don't see why it would change.)
So when thinking about our hand selection, we don't want to go straight to whether 236 plays well, as we would in a ring situation. Instead we want to come up with a system for looking at the xx cards and determining when the best way to play the hand is by keeping 236. We want to know where the borders are for playing 236 or playing something else, because we're always playing.
