I play bad.... A5s vs Turn Donkbet

[car ramrod]

so did we come up with a consensus on this one. I am still not sure what I would do.

Doesn't look too good for hero, but I couldn't fold here against an unknown. Would anyone raise again on the turn?

[DeathDonkey]

I'd call it down.

I certainly wasn't think in the least about raising. I think the consensus is to fold sans reads, as the pot is small and I'm behind a lot more than I'm ahead here.


Results:
I'm bad at poker, and I was confused by the donkbet, so I called. I spiked by 5 on the river, he checked, I bet, he called, he showed AT and MHIG, but I definitely should have folded the turn.

Open limping small suited aces UTG+2 is bad because you normally don't get an adequate number of overlimpers, even at .50/1.00, so I'd fold.

I like the flop raise. The gaybet is begging to be raised so he can 3-bet you IMO, or he's just an idiot. I don't see what logical hand you're ahead of here, given the action. I'm folding the turn.

I'm not being results oriented, I won the hand by getting lucky, but the action dictated a fold. Even without seeing his hand afterwards I was pretty sure I was beat and should have folded the turn.

I will comment by street:

Preflop - Usually I fold this from early position. I may call this in middle if there are a few players who have already called, and from late position I will usually call this, and will call a raise if there are a few (2-3) players already in.

Flop: You have top pair no kicker, and a backdoor flush draw, this gives you 6 outs if you are behind (I would likely discount this a little for the chance that you do hit two pair and lose to someone with an A with a better kicker.) Therefore your hand is slightly above marginal in my opinion, your raise is the right play, well done.

Turn: You lose your backdoor flush draw, but still have top pair no kicker, this means 4 outs to improving. I am still not folding this hand (I don't like folding top pair on an uncordinated board). However, I don't think that I am keeping my foot on the gas. I this I would call here with the intention of calling the river.

Including the turn call? If so, what's the reasoning?
