Fold. Not even top pair and it'll cost 2 BB to see the river.

Looks to me like YOU are UTG sir. You mean UTG+1 I think.

I'd call it down and be shown Ace Rag, or throw it away and save my money. A mathematician may tell us the EV difference between the two against an unknown but I'm guessing its not much.

When an otherwise passive player donks in a spot like this, I'm 90% letting my queens go. I need a clear read that the player could be getting fancy here to continue in this hand.

Maybe I've just seen Ace/Rag from the blinds too many times.

*grunch*

Fold. You're not gonna show down a winner here very often. I always hate to see the lovely ladies go, but when the morning sun's streamin' in the window you gotta wake up and smell the coffee. Whatever that means.

Smells like 2 pair or potentially even a set of 5s. Let the calling station (who probably has a weak ace anyway) pay to find out.

I don't know if I could fold QQ to a turn donk on a wet board. A c/r from a passive player, sure. You're getting 6:1, do you think you're good here a little less than 20% of the time? Have you seen this player donk the turn with at least top pair before? Does he get tricky with draws?

Against an unknown, I probably just call down two bets and take note. If the pot was smaller, and the board was dry I could fold. But the board is very wet, its a large pot, and its going to get larger with UTG padding. You can't raise and charge for a draw because you have minimal reads on SB, no one's folding, and there's a high card on the board, so I think I call down.

I think maybe SB had a weak A and thought you were on a draw and didn't want to give you a free card.

any move from super passive players on a board like this gives me a reason to throw second pair away here.

pitch it and let the calling station pay to get information for you. lol meatshields.

(Grunch)Based on your assertion that the SB is not agressive "at all" his turn bet probably means a monster- either slowplaying a hand that connected with the ace, or a made straight with the 5. Either way, clear fold.

bung ... you are not getting 6:1 - if you are making this call you MUST call the river ... also note: we have one extra player (he pads the pot more, but also makes it a lot less likely that you have any chance of being in front)
