Weak fold? (5/10)

I wanted to mix it up a little, had been playing rather tight, so I limped with AT. I figured I was either way ahead or behind on the turn, didn't want to pay off a better hand though. Bad fold? The player was new at the table, no particular read on him

Wow when did you start playing 5/10? Id fold ATs preflop in that position ecactly to avoid this decision.

I'm not really playing 5/10 to build my BR, it's more gambling with a portion of my BR. I'm mainly playing SnG's and MTT's.

I'd pop him right here. AK woul've raised PF even at this level, I think. I doubt he was leading with an A on that flop, otherwise he would've b/3b your ass to get you out on the flop.

AQ and AK are ALWAYS raising preflop and always 3-betting the flop in an unraised pot. If they don't 3-bet, they're c/c it down.

PF- The limp is fine, but you're better of raising to $40 PF to steal the button.

Flop- Raise more- to at least $110. Or just call him down to keep the pot small since it was unraised PF.

Turn- Call him down. AJ, 55, A5, A2, 52, 34, and 22 are all that beats us. A9-A6, A3/A4, 36, 46, and 88-66 are calling you on that flop all day. When he leads the turn, I'd cut him down to that range that beats us and A9-A6/A3/A4 and a small percent, he put you on shit on the flop and called with the rest of the range to bet the turn or floated with KJ. If you're gonna raise that weak on the flop, you'll have to defend it with TP when you're only really outkicked by 1 other Ace.
