Default Re: another low type hand

On the flop, you're committing 5bb to win most likely 1/2 of 12, giving away 2.5bb, unless you get lucky or the button is "at it".

Though there's lots of backdoor stuff going on (J-hi Diamond flush, b'way, wheel, 7..3, 8..4 str8), I really wonder where the value is.

Out of position
Don't know where we are
Likely 2nd best hand + drawing to 2nd best hand

On plus side, we're heads up and on a good day we'll make the nuts Hi or the 2nd nuts Lo.

Seems like Reverse-Implied Odds spot to me.

If opponent is not weak-tight, I can't see any hope of not getting looked up, even if we put in a turn raise. If the raise was with something like KK23 then we want them bluffing the river rather than giving up.

If we'd open raised, and got called then may be we'd have a story line. As is, seems like playing back looks like a "Dark Tunnel" bluff as Harrington puts it.

Yes it's feeble but I suspect folding or check/call-ing is the least bad play.

Pre-flop fold or raise, though it's double suited is it really strong to call with?
