Thoughts on how I played this on the flop and what is the best play on the turn.

You have outs to the possible win, about ~17% chance to win. He's betting 10 into a 23 pot... I'd fold it here unless your going to bluff.

The second call on the flop is mandatory, I'm not a huge fan of the first one because button's range is really really wide to cbet on such a dry flop. This means that even if you do hit on the turn, he's not likely to pay off.

Turn is a pretty easy fold IMO. I fold preflop too, but I'm a gigantoid nit out of the blinds.

Edit: Missed PF stats. Buttons range isn't as wide as I thought here, but still you're not gonna get paid enough to justify calling the $3.50 bet OOP.

he only has ~$10 behind. Gotta muck it.

Yeah with stacks that short you have no fold equity and no implied odds. You don't have immediate pot odds to chase, so fold. You do happen to have the nut low right now /images/graemlins/smile.gif

PF raiser is too short and too tight to make the call pf. That and it's button who called, so you'll be out of position on both. I'm a bigger fan of suited connectors as the bb than I used to be, but you have to have good stacks, and the right people in. Move button call to sb....and I like more.

flop, fine (what's with the little c/r from the pf raiser??). Turn fold.

I fold pre-flop. 53s is not a good hand, especially out of position. On the flop, everyone thinks calling is right? I don´t know, because the pre-flop raiser is still to be heard. You ended up paying a lot more. I thought about a semi-bluff, but there are 2 people in the hand and you are out of position, so you will get no free cards. Turn is a no brainer fold, imo.
