Default Re: a \"monster\" hand

I fold.

You're out of position and this is a pretty blah starting hand - unless you like playing blah hands in bad position. If you cap, the BB may fold as you said, but you're not getting anyone else to fold, you're just putting 40 bucks into the pot with a very mediocre holding. You've got almost no shot at the high pot with a 9-high flush and wheel draw (some or all of which is almost assuredly held in one of the others' hands). So you're going to pay an extra 2.5 or 3.5 bets (if you cap) to try and draw to half the pot with your nut low which has a good chance of getting quartered anyway? Pick a better spot and fold this hand, unless you're one of the "one or two players playing marginal hands frequently" that you mention.
