I would have raised on the flop because of the top pair and fold if I get re-raised.

because there was no pre-flop raise, slight chance to be against a set (one of the holding pocket 2's) and I would put utg1 on Kx and utg2 on a straight draw, but still there is a high probability you're behind with a lower kicker if best hand is Kx.

anyway chances of improving your hand are quite small and don't think you had a hand here worthy to invest too much of your money in so I would've folded on the flop

Fold Flop... only continue free plays if u have TOP PAIR WITH J+ KICKER
ure just wasting ur money... just keep it to ur better hands

btw: u can bet out the flop(if u really want to play) to get information about
their hands... but if u get reraised... fold.

top pair 5 kicker is not a made hand so check fold acordingly

in this scenario, I think it's an easy fold.

HOWEVER,

If i acted first, I think I would still bet potsize, just to get some information, and perhaps steal a hand. And folding to a rereaise of course. The calldown to the river is a bad idea though.

stick to basic strategy tp no kicker fold flop, only trouble spot.
