"decent equity"? All we have is a gutshot. If anything, I'd probably fold flop. Calling to float is ok I guess, though you should probably bet turn to just end the hand there.

let me ask u an honest question, would u rather raise the flop with AK or 56?

Against a calling range of {AT,TT+}, AK has 20% equity and 65 has about 17%. So I'd rather raise with AK.

well if Villain could have 33 or 22 then 56 is better. but u get the point.

a gut shot has good equity vs villain's calling range of a raise. and it's even better if we have a back-door draw to a flush.
