This hand is just gonna be a bitch to play. It will be very hard to accurately judge where you stand on 4th. There will be very few cards that your opponents can catch that don't threaten your hand in some way.
I would definetly fold this hand on 3rd if :: there is an overcard behind me, an overcard limped, I expected a raise behind me
If none of those situations applied I could fold or raise...depending on my mood.
I realize that there may be some value in this hand. But for me, hands like this piss me off / tilt me. I really really hate being in situations where I don't "know" the correct play. It makes me feel like I have no business playing. Then I get mad and do stupid stuff. And that stupid stuff hurts my bankroll. I also hate losing hands where I had the "best" hand on 3rd. I also hate losing big pots (which might happen if 4 or 5 people play). So I avoid hands like these, mostly for my sanity.
Thankfully, my hatred of not knowing what the best play is will often make me grab a HH and think through a hand in great detail. Doing this has greatly helped my play. And it has allowed me to play in more situation with confidence.
