Trying to isolate the MP donkey, in position, I raise to discourage other callers. I get the two donkeys to call, though...

Flop far from the nuts, though I have a backdoor straight to go with my top pair.

BB bets $17.25, Hero requests TIME, Hero folds
Here's where we get interesting. What am I hoping he has here that I can beat? A3, A4? Since the board is all low cards, I am certainly not going to be able to play the board as a kicker. Just about any Ace beats me here. I also feel as though my flop raise has adequately represented the strength of my hand. That said, did I allow the donkey to push me off the best hand?
Clearly I do not want to get stacks in with a naked Ace; his pot sized turned bet implies stacks.
Final Pot: $17.25

I think you have to fold. If it's a mistake, it's only a small mistake. If calling is a mistake, it's a big one.
