I noticed my results have been better when I started folding this, if that means anything.

I have been calling a lot more stuff based on getting great pot odds, as long as it isn't too crippling and of course it's better if the hand is a little better. Main problem here I think is the 150 is too much of your stack and is basically pot committing. If I see this flop, I basically have to push it if SB checks.

I'd probably fold and retain that bit of FE for pushing later. Like others said, it is close because of your great pot odds, but in my experience, you're going to get called down if anybody hits any part of the flop or any draw, so a stop and go type bet really doesn't accomplish much here.

I like it.

Main difference between calling and folding is one totally pooches your FE and one doesn't.

I'd consider a push with limpers and more chips, but this is a raised pot with two callers, and you don't have enough stack to shove any of them out. I fold very quickly.

This is a call or a push with either decent, not necessarily great, cards or a tall stack. You have neither and your cards are still garbage so MUCK EM. You might justify a call at a ring game but you have a wallet to make your stack tall. Here you will just go broke faster.
