Where did I go wrong here? Fold pre-flop?

Table wasnt aggressive.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP2 <font color="purple">(passive)</font> calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB <font color="purple">(fair)</font> completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>

Pre-flop: Depends on the table, you want a really loose/passive table to open here with A5s.

Flop: Depends on your read of the SB. He didn't show any aggression pre-flop reducing the chances of being up against AK/AQ. Would be a really silly way to play a flush too. With a small pot, you can fold here if you think he's got a legit check/raise hand.

Do you mean call the raise and then fold on the turn unimproved or just fold to the raise? I hate to fold to raises since people may quickly start taking shots at you.

Either line is fine. If they want to take shots at me, so be it.
