I don't see how you can NOT fold this on the flop

QFT.
I still insist folding these hands preflop is the best way to go een if its 5 cents to see the flop.
You will flop either bottom set or weak straights EVEN if nut straights.
Holding the low nut straight without backup is the worst moneyloser ever just like bottom sets.
Think about holding 54 on a 632 flop in a multiway pot without flush or set backup.You will pot flop and have to muck it on turn or on river more times than it holds up to showdown.

tho its only 5cents, thats not the issue. playing a hand up front is very hard and i'm pretty selective about that. playing marginal stuff up front makes it just too easy to lose money
and i wouldnt lead that flop. i'd check/fold. the turn, i dont know what that line is all about. either bet or check fold, the dude is so shortstacked he aint folding to a c/r.
check the flop.
check the turn.

QFT+ i actually dont mind CALLING a raise here if you have a read on your oponent knowing that he only raises w/ hi pairs/hi connectors.
hitting that flop w/ position against someone like this can win you a big pot against players that cant get away from AAxx which some retards do.
but a multiway pot this hand is usually death/weak. lose big pot/win small one
