how do you play this?
Do you lead flop or is it ok to call?
I wouldn't like to get raised here.

I fold preflop unless i feel like squeezing. I'm folding flop aswell, if u hit ur straight you'll only get paid off if one of the other guys are holding af 7 and an 8 falls.

fold pf. 97s looks nice, but you can't play it profitably OOP. if you wanna play this you should 3bet, but i'm not a big fan of either one. so pf i pitch this.
flop is a muck too i think. the fd is out there and you're basically looking for a 3 or an 8. on both cards you won't get paid off OOP.

sc just don't play well OOP. you can flat call small pairs and hope to hit a set, but you need position with these sc to play them profitably.

Pre is close (only cause of stacks, def fold with 100bbs) but I'm leaning towards fold. If villain can fold a hand then shoving turn is pretty hot, cause that board sucks for him and you still have decent equity if he calls w/ an overpair. Flop is good.

I used to call in this sort of spot preflop but now I tend to just fold since it's hard to play draws OOP multiway, as this had demonstrates. The flop is tricky because if we hit our outs we're not gonna get paid off as our outs are so obvious. Also there is a flush draw out there. We are getting 3.3:1 immediate odds and are 4.9:1 to hit on the turn (discounting the flush) so we'd need to rely on some implied odds. We might get paid off for a small bet, but I think it's somewhat marginal at best.
