$5 NL HE: Possible straight on flop, w/ TP can I fold?

Was there anyway to get away from this one? Feeling like there was. No information on the previous player. Has been there for only 6 orbits. Not tight, but not loose.

I'm wondering why you didn't bet your top pair on the flop. If anything, it would have gotten rid of a couple of players in the pot.

I'm not sure that I fold this river.
Our bet on the turn looks like an attempt to buy the pot. It would make sense that we'd take another stab at the river.
This makes it more likely that he is on a semibluff with Ax (x not present on board) or Tx, or even a complete bluff with a missed draw.

You get a little over 2.5:1, so you have to have the best hand 39% of the time, which I think you do, but it may be a bit of a judgment call.

Totally agree with this.
I don't fold here either, i'm pretty sure the 2 pair is good here and you have correct odds to call

I'm less worried about the possible straight and more worried that with the ace on the river villain now has a better two pair. Only 86 makes a straight, and it doesn't make much sense for villain to be limping in from UTG+1 with that. There are, however, many more combos of Ax that now beat you, AT, A9, A7, and A4, and I think villains would limp Ax especially if suited more often here. I don't think he has only a pair of aces here very often either, would villain really float the turn with only ace high in a multi-way pot?

yea, I'm curious about the turn call too.
Hard call to make without any other information.

Bet-folding the river is the nuts. I think it was played well.
