Do you usually peel a card here?

Blind is reasonable, MP3 is terrible with 92/0/3 stats over ~80 hands, limping and calling any raise. He will raise anything, a straight, flush, draw, bottom pair, etc.. So do you peel hoping to hit a monster hand cheaply and trying to make the most of it or just get away now?

Do you know how MP built his 400bb stack? 92/0/4 stats are bizarre enough to give me pause; it could be a decent player who's screwing around and working on his postflop play or something.

SB's tiny bet often means a draw, but the only obvious draw is likely to hold a pair, too, and thus be semibluffing with the best hand.

Your 2-3 outs to a flush or straight do not constitute a draw but rather a prayer. I think folding out 2 opponents who've shown interest in the pot--even weak interest--is going to require a huge raise and even then it's a longshot. Clear fold.

you are not getting enough odds to your potentially no good outs.

You're outs may not be clean and your implied odds aren't great, probably a decent sized hole over time to take this off.

That being said, tiny bets really mess with me, minbettors especially can milk the hell out of me in raised pots where I whiff, I just cant say no sometimes. Sht's weak.
