A read would be nice here, although MPs line is rather donkish, ie limping and then calling a big raise in MP with just 15 BB left.

Hmmm..Tough spot.I guess my line would been to bet 1/2 pot and to get away from it if raised? This will leave you with 7BB left and you still have a possibility to get back in the game. Also, evenn if he has an A or a better hand, you have some other outs if he just flat calls (a gut shot and a runner-runner draw).

Ouch, that's a pretty horrible situation. Betting and then folding to a raise would suck here. I'd go into check/call mode, possibly check/folding I dunno what's best for us really, reads would help sway me.
