Fold? Clearly?

Beset - Fold.

Shorthanded, loose aggressive game with a loose player betting into you doesn't change anything? I agree folding is best FWIW but the person i discussed this hand with almost had me sold on a different line. The argument being that this card is more likely to have hurt him then helped him. I see a lot of mid and high-limit players raising in spots like this.

Maybe I am reading it wrong, but the pot doesn't look big enough to chase a 5, and even if you hit that card there's no guarantee you scoop. If you miss, you have a poor kicker with your Ace, so you could easily be up against a garbage low (but better than yours if the river spikes a low card) and an ace with a better kicker. I think the player is spewing money by continuing to play this hand, unless he'd doing it for advertising value.
