[NSchandler]

Wasn't at the table very long. UTG seemed LAG, know nothing about CO.

Final Pot: $25.25

Not sure what to do in these situations. Heads up I'll CB this ~95% of the time, 3-way about 60 - 70% of the time, 4-way or more, almost never without a piece of the flop.

But when I get called, I'm kind of lost.

How's the size of the c-bet? I usually bet about pot, but I've been trying to scale down the size of my c-bets since I c-bet so often.

Do I need to call this turn getting 5:1?

[homeslice]

c-bet size is good. W/o any real reads as played, I'd fold here as well.

[silkyslim]

nice hand

[nitramee]

Jep ,looks standard.Sometimes i second barrel this, but only with a read and against well known ops.

[Raj]

I probably would have called the turn getting 5 to 1, but it seems the concensus here is fold. I'm not sure I agree. But nitramee is right, with no reads, it's hard to tell what villain would do if the A or K hits on the river and you bet.

[Sir Winalot]

Looks good to me. You can't call the turn bet as it looks like his TP just improved to trips.

I'm not sure the odds are overly important...if an A or K hits the river, do you think your hand is good? Either he's weak and we should C/R the turn or he's strong and we are (very likely to be) drawing dead.
