Re: Fold this straight?
What the heck, play it. Then slap yourself on the hand, and count it as "advertising hand," win or lose. You shouldn't be in the pot anyway with that particular hand from the blinds with only 3 other players. It's great that you had eight outs to a straight, but 1) there's not enough dough going into the pot to make that a positive expectation play, 2) you're playing against a possible flush draw. But you've come this far... you might as well use it as an opportunity to throw off your opponents and hopefully derive a bit of value that way.
