I fold this preflop. The problem with middle cards like this is that if you make a nut straight a low is possible and if you make a straight with no low possible you might not have the nuts. Yeah you go chips here but this is a hand I only play from the blinds with no raise out.

I normally instafold that hand, too, but in this case, I had about 4x average chips and felt like a donk. (I say it was for the chiplead, but I was already #2 in chips before the hand...)

Of course, after spending three hours in the chiplead, I go out 25th, when my A-high flush in stud goes down to a hidden boat, and then my made 7 in Razz goes down to some dude who made a 6 on 7th street. $24 versus $450 kinda sucked.
