Calling seems odd on the flop, the way you played it you are calling 2 cold for a five outer and saying you have the worst hand, if you believe this, then folding is clearly the play. Betting the flop makes the hand much easier to play, this way you let players define their hand more. If the BB raises your bet, then you know he also hit this flop, if the button then 3-bets, you know you are smoked and can fold for only losing 1 bet. if button just cold calls, you can assume you are ahead probably, and either 3-bet or call. The truth is, you are probably folding the turn either way, but calling two cold on the flop seems quite poor to me, as it accomlpishes nothing in the way of defining hands, protecting your hand, or value betting. Also when you decide you have 5 outs, you shouldn't call 2 cold
