Analyze this hand for me

[Rhound50]

Should I fold this at some point? Or is this to bag a draw with to much money in the pot to fold.

That raise on the turn is horribly reckless, you should probably have called and kept the pot small. Really bad move; any low is FREEROLLING you so every dollar you put in the pot, you can only lose it or get it back.

Some would suggest just calling that turn and laying down on the river if a scare card comes (one that makes a low straight, or a flush). Some would even say you MIGHT think about laying down on the turn; personally, I think it's worth a call because there's probably a lot of cards will give you half the pot. Still, no way you can scoop here (realistically) so it's time to go into passive mode. Raising it up was really silly. Keep the pot small and beware of playing when you can only win half.

I agree with monk 100%, you want to freeroll you don't want to freeroll others.

There are 3 people in the pot so a 1/2 will still make you a little money. That brings two interesting points:
1) why raise because you may push one of the players out and get HU.
2) I would fold here almost everytime if I was already HU.

Like monk I would call here and if a non str8, non flush card hit on the river I would bet pot hoping to make everyone fold. If a good river comes then your opponents will hopefully be playing a naked low and you might be able to push them out of the pot. If not you will still be able to make a little money by 1/2ing. If a bad river card come then the pot will be small enough to easily fold.
