Fold pre-flop. Doing anything besides betting on this flop is dumb.

I probably just bet out here, and hope that someone ahead of me raises, so I can then put in a 3-bet. No one raised pre-flop, so I'd be worried about this getting checked through. Plus, no one is going to fold if they have a flush draw anyway.

I also agree with this. T5o performs terribly multi-way, and even in the SB it'll be a losing hand.

I figured with a table with a huge VPIP it might be worth a shot. And as for the second comment... I think I'll just shut this thread down [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Thanks for the help guys.

Fold PF. If you are going to play it, bet out on the flop.

What kind of strength does T5o have? No flush strength, no high card strength, no straight strength. And because you can't make a straight without one of these cards you'll be tempted to chase back door straights. This is why there are few situations where you would spend money on this hand pre-flop.

In this situation bet until someone plays back at you, free cards suck.

I'd bet the flop and if there are only two or three people left and ck raise the turn on a "safe" card.

Why do you assume anyone will bet the turn on a blank?
