I am speachless. Everything I tried to type came out wrong, I don't know what to say.

[PokerJans]

I would bet fifth for a couple reasons. I will let other elaborate.

Also river is probably a value bet.

[RubbishCards]

Am I a nit for instafolding 3rd?

I would limp third. With the limper, you don't have much steal equity, if any. There are a couple of good low cards yet to act, and this isn't a great hand. With the vague straight possibility and the two-flush, I think it's worth a buck and a half, especially with this high ante. Folding would be non-terrible.

Of course you bet fourth street. I would bet fifth as well. You've got a four-card low with a gut-shot, and he is showing utter garbage. He should fold here a fair amount of the time.

Sixth is interesting. The Five isn't that great a card for you, although it looks good. If the other guy is playing at all decently, he's got a four-flush or two pair. Maybe he started with QJT. He isn't folding any of those. I'm thinking you should maybe take the free card.

I can't see much value in betting the river. Tens-up beats you, and a worse hand may not call. He's not calling with just Deuces, is he?

I think a 2 or 3 ante would be high, but a 1 ante isn't that big, it adds no more than 1/2 a bet to the pot at most. This is an insta-muck for me on 3rd, the pot is too small and we are playing for gutshot value at best.

Not at all, but I think it is close either way. I would really have to understand the flow of the game but folding definitely is not a bad play.
