I bet the turn hoping they call with a high card or some PP. If they have nothing on the turn its very unlikely they will hit the river so you might as well try to build a pot earlier and hope they don't believe you. Not much you can do though, you see folds in those situations most of the time.

I like betting the turn also. That way you have 2 streets of value against a 5 and may also get a call from A high, etc.

Bet the flop. Club draws will call.

by trying to slowplay pot is so tiny at the end I realize. I just think that like nothing is out there so I have to check to let someone hit a pair... Obv 5 is not out there.
