Plo8 10/25 - Thin wrap for high, backdoor low

Villain appears to live at the 10/25 tables, so I figured either trips, or a better draw than mine. Thoughts?

Easy fold in my opinion.

With ace suited of spades I re-raise all-in. But without a flush draw you're behind against a set.

Wait for a better oportunity.

you can't call off 1/2 your stack when you're almost always a huge dog here.

probably not a great idea to lead out on flop either.

Rainbow flop might make a call more attractive. But with A/Q/9 of spades being dirty outs for you I think this is an easy fold. Having no counterfeit protection for the backdoor low also hurts, I think your pot equity from that backdoor drops by 4% or so (from 12% to 8%?) as a result.

With just a gut shot and runner-runner NLD, I check flop. It's multi-way pot as well and peel a free card. I think a $2 bet serves no purpose here because nobody is folding.
