Re: Weak TP, weak kicker - How do you play this?
Edit your post so the turn makes sense. I'm assuming UTG bets, MP3 calls. You have to bet the turn. What are you putting UTG at that's better than what you've got? If he had a higher pair he would have raised you post-flop. Why are you worried about your kicker? Do you think he has an 8 with a higher kicker? What sort of hand would he have called preflop with? What about the turn scared you? There is nothing intimidating about a 5. You said weak top pair....this seems to be intrinsically contradictory, especially considering the board and the lack of strength the others to the flop have shown. Weak in comparison to what? UTG having a higer pair? He surely would have raised preflop and raised post-flop. On that board your hand is VERY strong. Bet Bet BET.
