5 way action to the flop

Flop 3s 5s Jh

It is bet to you (2 people to act after you)

Gilly - In my humble opinion it's a very clear fold. After the flop you usually want to be needing only one card (of the next two) to make a straight or higher. There are some exceptions, with a variety of back-door (two card) draws, but this is not one of them (although you do have some back door possibilities here). Sometimes fluke one pair or two pair hands win for high, but not often enough in these loose games to make playing a pair of jacks profitable, on the average, especially with two low cards and two suited cards (but not one of your suits) on the flop.

Ac Kc Jd 10d is a decent, but not great starting hand. One of the reasons Ac Kc Jd 10d is a decent hand is that you should have an easy time folding when you miss the flop, as you did here.

Lastly, you are out of position.

Fold.
