Fold preflop. Fold to the turn checkraise; the pot is small and at best you've got between five and eight outs, more likely, you're going to be drawing dead (to the straight).

I like folding on the turn. Calling down in these spots is a winrate killer. The pot is small and there is a good chance that you are drawing dead.

Damn this stupid "Complete any AX" rule I've picked up from WLLH. You're right, I should have considered the pot size. FWIW, He had KJ for the straight.

I agree that playing Ax in the sb is generally not a good idea. You usually just end up running into trouble if you flop a good hand. I will only complete with Ax if there are many limpers but even then it may not be correct.

I think you should release this preflop, and then again on the turn. At least that's how I'd do it.
