Settle an argument (Stud8 3rd street decisions)

[HOWMANY]

Fold anyway. The upcards literally could not be worse. If it was only low cards in big ante game I'd consider playing depending on toughness of players. If the A up is a super predictable player and the other upcards were crappier I'd think about playing. I would never play if the A up is a laggy (good or bad) or imaginative player unless it was like 1/4-1/3 bet ante which does not exist in any games I play at the moment.

The game would have to be super-tight for me to consider playing this hand in this position against these door cards. I am not in the habit of sitting in super-tight stud/8 games.

Thanks for the all the replies. I folded pretty quickly and I feel that it was clearly the correct play in hindsight though I almost always would raise split Kings in an unraised pot on 3rd, this was just a terrible spot for the hand.

Here's another 3rd street decision from the same hand, I'm interested in hearing how people would rank raise, fold, and call from this guy's perspective:

7 Card Stud High-Low ($1/$2), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.50 (converter)

3rd Street - (0.70 SB)

How is there any dilemma here? Just throw it in the muck.

If you were playing at a table full of guys who knew how to play correctly and the A was not reckless then raise/fold might be the correct play.
