Cap pre-flop, Fold Flop

I wonder if the hand example on p. 274 of SSH applies here.

Obviously there are some differences. The board here has straight potential... but then in the SSH example there is the additional problem of two overcards which could come and beat you.

A big difference between the Small stakes example and this hand example is pot odds. In the SSH hand, the hero was getting 19-1 closing the action. In this example the hero is getting 10.7-1 and hes not closing the action. With Aces on this board I would certainly call getting 19-1 closing the action, but on this board getting 10.7-1 with the real fear of a 3 bet happening behind me, I would fold.
