Default top trips double paired board

OK I haven't been playing online much but I'm starting to enjoy Pokerstars. Table is somewhat passive. I haven't played much with either villain but neither of them is anything special. First one is somewhat passive, the second one I have seen overplay marginal hands and draws notably a big turn c/r with the turned Q high flush in a multiway pot against a LAG. I have been moderately active and I have bet a lot of flops especially when I was the raiser. How's my line and what do you do now?

I would bet it and *probably* fold to a checkraise, and if called would check behind on the river or call a smallish bet perhaps. You just outran someone slowplaying a 5 on the flop and you shouldn't let that hand fill for free. No one is likely to bet if for you on the river if they don't fill.

OK maybe I asked a silly question, if someone else put this hand up I would say the same, bet and probably fold to a raise, and sometimes bet the flop, and call it standard.

I figured here though worse hands won't call - a 5 is unlikely, a smaller Q is unlikely and there are no draws possible. Plus if I check behind now someone might look me up suspiciously on the river with something like KK.

I think this is bad though, KK has 4 outs against me and my passive opponents can easily have a 5 here (even with good/aggressive/tricky opponents this might also be true). A 5 has up to 10 outs and will probably call a bet now.

Results: A on river and I call a small bet from the first guy (I would also have called a big bet I expect) who has A5.

You're not playing QJTT to hit a QQx board. So long as you remember that, i'm sure you wont shove all your chips with just 5 outs to win the pot. You're either way ahead or way behind on boards like this and I would say that you're only going to win money by having someone bluff at you.
