Default Weak fold or ok?

Party 3/6, 6-handed. UTG is 34/15/1.6, plays too many hands, but seems decent postflop. Button is a loose passive fish, I don't have stats, but his VPIP must be at least 70.

I'm MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Preflop: UTG calls, I raise, button calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG checks, I bet, button calls, BB folds, UTG raises, I call, button calls.

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG bets, I fold.

I doubt you're ahead here, and with a little creative out counting I think maybe you can consider you have 6 outs (maybe). Doesn't seem like you're getting the right odds to call, and I think too often you're already behind.

This is a good flop to not bet. You have two overcards and a gutshot but a flop with both T and J is infinitely likely to hit one or more of your many, many opponents.

The 5 on the turn is not a bad card for you because it gives you more outs against the most likely two-pair hand you might be up against. Assuming someone is on the flush draw, you now have up to 7 outs. The pot's big enough, I peel.

getting 8:1, i think this is a call.

utg would have likely raised JJ or TT preflop. you just cleaned up your aces and kings with the board pairing the fives. i think you're drawing to 10 outs here most of the time.

Ya I discounted a few outs because of hands like AJ, I think you can't really say the full 7 outs. at 6 outs you're just over 10% to hit this right ? So just from a pot odds perspective it's a little thin, I think I count 11 big bets in there, and you need to put in one, but with a guy behind you to act, maybe more then 1. I think it's thin, nobody could really say it's wrong to fold there.

Flush draw requires a discount, as does the fact that you aren't closing the action.
