Speculative hand. When to get away from it

Do you fold this to the raise preflop? Bad idea to call in the first place?

you dont have enough chips to play cute.

Either push or fold preflop. I fold.

[ProZachNation]

Yeah you only have 10BB you are pretty much at the edge of push fold mode. DOnt try to get cute with that kinda starting hand.

[Sprayed]

Fold pre-flop and look for a hand to push.

yeah hard to play draws when you get short, especially into a raised pot.

same situation as another post, you back into top pair weak kicker with a hand that started out looking for str8 and flush draws. nothing but trouble.

[pgil]

but if you do want to bet on that flop, don't minbet.

[zenbitz]

fold preflop, once you limp I guess you can call, but you are bleeding chips like a ventilated limey.

push flop
fold turn to push.
