The first one depends on the action, but you shouldn't be preplanning to check-fold on that board with that pot.

I agree and I think this is a hand many small stakes readers would get wrong.

(By the way from the action it looks like the pot is 7.5 SB, not 6)

Our backdoor straight outs are very clean here, I think giving 1.5 outs is very reasonable. Then we have 2 pretty clean set outs, maybe call it 1.8 outs. Altogether we have 3.3 outs. If the action goes CO bets, UTG+1 calls, we are getting 9.5:1 and with implied odds probably have enough to call on that alone.

Now, count the times we have the best hand (quite often) and CO gives up on the turn or something, this becomes a pretty easy call imo.
