the majority of the time this is a player who has picked up hearts, although it will occasionally be K2 or KT. I think given that we're in decent shape in the worst case (KT) you should pop it here.

If you were c/r I'd probably lay it down since it's a small pot and there aren't many wraps possible. If we know villian will c/r light w/ made hands A felt isn't too too terrible since we're in decent shape against most K5 hands.

I also fold this some of the time, UTG. High cards don't perform that well in early position, and the five is a real dangler. I appreciate this sounds pretty tight, and some good players won't agree with me, but it's something you should be thinking about.

I think we can expect KTxx or some sort of two pair with a picked up a draw or combo draw in this spot. I don't see how this is K2xx many times, cmyr???

I'd call this and see the river.

As far as preflop, I can see it going either way. I think its pretty game dependant so analyzing UTG opens is kinda hard without that information. In an aggro game, I don't mind open folding this and in a tight passive game I like opening this with the raise. So I guess it depends. Also, if there were any short stacks I'd lean a little more toward folding.
