I made mistake - I misview straight on flop - if I would view straight on flop
I would fold
MAIN QUESTION :

I would fold preflop, this is a garbage hand that is only ever going to get you in trouble. The only thing going for it is a flush draw in hearts and any time you flop a flush draw, you're never going to get it in ahead because you have terrible sidecards that can not make big pairs.

Flop: And this is why we fold preflop, we flop bottom set (any time we hit a set, it's pretty much always going to be bottom set) so we have to fold to any action as we could be crushed by middle set or top set (plus we're behind anyone with a straight obviously).

I would typically stick to playing hands with pairs in from TT upwards and then obviously lower than that if they have good sidecards. A pair of fours is not good enough though in this spot.
