Should I have seen the Turn with bottom pair here?
 

Having a problem knowing when to play bottom pair. Usually I just fold it, but it seems that I could be missing on some pots by doing so. What do you all think?

I don't think so, small pot, not necessarily clean ace outs...i fold this a lot

Nah, that's a good fold in this little pot.

I agree with the posters, the pot is not worth it. Just get out.

The only time I'd think about playing this is if I read MP2 and Button as weak-tight, and then I'd bet out the flop and make that the last money I put in UI. Against typical loose-passives, don't get into a three-way penguin fight over a small fish.

grunching.

Fold here, pot is small, 3.5 outs.

Unintentionally?

Not to be mean, as i see that you're new, but this acronym guess made me giggle. E.g.,

"I would call a raise on the turn, then check/fold the river unintentionally."

Edit: Oh yeah, i forgot to add: good fold.

I might bet this flop, but I LAG too much at full ring, so what do I know...
