Default Re: .5/1 Correct to peel?

I forget where I read it, but a saying that I like is to the effect of if you don't know whether to call or fold, you should raise. I think raising is better than calling here, but looking at the hand, folding may be the best option.

It doesn't seem like you are ahead of MP very often at this point, and if BB is on a draw, a lot of your backdoor draws could be expensive on the turn. But a raise could protect against some of the weaker BB draws, and could potentially buy you a free card, if you choose.

I don't like any of the options -- folding seems a little weak, calling seems wrong, and raising seems like spewing.
