Flop Analysis
Standard check. We have no range advantage on this low/middling board and must play our entire range defensively.
Don't peel wide vs UTG with high card hands that block the bluffs you want your opponent to have.

Folding is the preferred play here. While we have overcards and a backdoor flush draw, our specific hand is a poor candidate for a float.
Note: Peeling with K-high here is too loose; we block the exact hands (KJ, JT) that UTG might be bluffing with.
The board pairing the 5 is better for our range than UTG's, but with only K-high, we must check and hope to see a free river.
Betting here is a creative attempt to buy the pot after UTG checks back the turn, but it's generally unnecessary with our specific holding.
