FoldThis hand is below the first-street raise threshold: it has fewer than 2 points, no pair, and isn't 6-5 suited. 7-2 suited folds here — the small flush or straight upside doesn't cover the cost of continuing.
Folding forfeits only your ante and gets you to the next hand. Chasing weak starters is the fastest way to bleed a bankroll in Mississippi Stud.
