Default Re: The Ass end of a straight draw

I play the hand the same way and I think we are leaking in doing so. An 8 will bet the flop and the turn and we are folding the turn UI. I think that this hand is difficult to play well even with position. I would either fold or raise the flop and take control of the hand. Sure this might lose you the overcall from the MP1 player but you can take a free card or bet improved. All in all I think the flop should just be a fold, the pot is small and you very likely have the worse hand.
