i think this is an easy call. worst case, you are drawing to the nut straight. thats how i see it. well actually it wouldnt be the nut straight, because Q10 or KJ would beat you if you got there, but still, i see no reason not to call here. if he has an overpair, like kings, you have like 13 outs; if he has AJ you still have 11. he could also easily be on a heart draw or have a ten, or be on a steal with a middle pair. i think you just push it in here and hope for the best. your hand is strong.

I personally would fold this hand.You only have $5 invested to this point.With a large bet and an even larger raise, what possible hands could they be betting with that you would have a chance of beating?Muck the hand and wait for a better spot.

Stop playing 2/5 if this is a tough decision.

I think one has a set and you're drawing very slim. Fold this in a heartbeat.
