This is the type of hand that has always confused me? Is it simply an ez fold?

I think this is an easy fold because you have to figure you've got the worst hand (or certainly not the best or second best) and you may (probably are) be dominated. No sense risking the chips.

There's more in the pot than there is in your stack. I'd play this really aggressively since your stack is so low. I'd call for 100 more and push if the flop is favorable at all -- i.e. any pair and any decent draw pretty much. I think folding since your stack is so low is okay, but I prefer playing really aggressively with a low stack. I think this is a good opportunity since the pot is so big.

Since he's already in 100 for the big blind, it's only 1/5th of his stack to call. Getting 7.5:1 on his 100 sounds pretty good to me with two big cards.

I'd take a chance on this and call.
