Re: Implied odds conundrum with A5s on the turn
My question with this hand is what is the gameplan if you spike an Ace on the river? Without reads, I would not even consider them as outs -- UTG woke up on the turn, and the button ain't never scared. I do not even know if your straight outs (or all of them, anyway) are any good. I would give ~2-3 outs for the straight (a 4 would put you in an okayish position, losing to T9 and 59, but spiking a 9 would not be all that great).
Regardless, you need to call. The pot odds are close, but with your strong draw and the given action, any deficit in calling now should easily be made up on the river.
