Default Re: Drawing for low

I would definitely call preflop. Any A2 suited is a good hand plus you have the high card combinations.

I think calling 2 bets on the flop is marginal. You only stand to make a small amount of money if you don't get quartered. I think the percentage of time you do get quartered would have to be fairly small for your hand to be profitable. I would fold and wait for a more profitable situation. Playing these marginal situations may add a little to your profit (when you don't get quartered) but add a lot to your swings. You beat this game by scooping pots not getting value in marginal situations.

I would fold on the turn. Besides what Buzz has pointed out, you also run the risk of it costing you more than two bets as it is a real possibility that the MP, who rasied on the flop and bet out on the turn, might reraise here.
