pot odds would matter if you were going to run this hand hot/cold with no more betting. thats not going to happen is it? instead you are going to have to play a weak dominated hand out of position that when you get stacks in you are going to be in terrible shape. The ev of your preflop call is probably pretty close to actually lighting the money on fire (-$20).
do you understand "reverse implied odds"? thats why this is such an
objectively terrible call preflop.
case in point you somehow made the nuts with your 84s and still only made an additional 10x your preflop call plus the pot. how many times are you going to lose your preflop call when you miss? how many times do you get stacked when you AND someone else make trips?
