I don't know if I made a good play or not but it made sense at the time. Tell me if I made a decent play or just donked this up and got lucky.

Pre-flop:

folds. Sunbob calls. camerr folds. teeze33 folds.
steelerjay calls. RotWithMe calls. somerdaze1
calls. Playenlucky calls.
UTG was a maniac jammer. He had been raising preflop and jamming post flop so I gave him no real credit. I figured I would take a stab at this hoping for a high flop.
Flop (board: 5[s] T[d] 3[h]):

somerdaze1 checks. Playenlucky checks. iamtchelly
bets $2.10. Sunbob calls. steelerjay folds.
RotWithMe calls. somerdaze1 folds. Playenlucky
calls.
This was probably a very loose call but I had two pair and had a hard time seeing how he was ahead of me, at least on a high hand. I wasn't expecting another caller though. I didn't like that.
Turn (board: 5[s] T[d] 3[h] J[h]):

Playenlucky checks. iamtchelly goes all-in for $6.44.
Sunbob calls. RotWithMe folds. Playenlucky goes
all-in for $5.42.
Well, that adds a draw to the nut flush and a gut-shot nut straight draw to the possible boat. I figured I had too many outs to put this down now.

A5xx is probably a loser in almost all of our PTO databases, even suited like this. I'd fold preflop, and if I happened to misclick I'd definitely have folded the flop. The majority of the time (and I mean like the VAST majority of the time) you will not get anything other than annoyed when you play top 2 on a board with low and str8 draws (neither of which you have).

Turn is iffy, but maybe the most reasonable when compared to all the other calls.

your decisions on all streets were very loose (not necessarily a bad thing). first, you got to expect tough situations if you play this hand pre-flop. if you felt lost playing this hand then you'd be better off folding pre-flop for now. i personally would call pre-flop in this situation given your read of the pre-flop raiser. the thing i don't like about the way you played this hand is your lack of consistency between your flop action and your turn action. if you're going to call on the flop, you need to have a gameplan for the turn. your goal in calling the flop should be to setup a big bet on the turn if a high card comes. the is a good enough turn card for you that you need to follow through with your plan. go ahead and raise the max on the turn and get it all-in. yes it is a wild and borderline reckless move, but don't call the flop if you can't stomache making this move. the goal on the turn is to get the pot heads-up and make the players going low pay dearly when your high hand is (hopefully) a solid favorite.
