I with the rest of these guys, Bankroll and game selection is huge! I say just try it a few times and see what you think. The 1st time I moved up to 2/5 I was nervous as HELL thinking I was going to be playing with better poker players. I quickly found out that wasn’t true. Good luck Buddy
Z.B I feel like you should have led out on the flop. It was a limp flop going 4 ways and with a flop with an ACE and 2 diamonds, This should hit some of the players hands. If you lead out you’re going to be called or raised with all flush draws or Ace X hands and since you have 2 pair you need to make players pay for their draws/ slash try to catch up. Half pot to 2/3 pot should be fine. In tournaments you need to build a stack early on. My question is why didn’t you raise preflop? I know A5 off isn’t the strongest hand but if it limp to you and you have an Ace you should throw in a raise. By doing this you give yourself a chance to pick up those chips without showdown. With it being limped around and you having an Ace it’s less likely someone has an Ace in their hand. Nobody should be limping really with and Ace I early position or a pocket pair. Say you put in a raise and do get one caller then you can start putting them on a range. If they 3 bet large then you can get away from the hand preflop if their a TAG. Hope this helps
It’s a tough fold but I would have done the same due to having players still having acted. Especially 2 players who have position on you. For you to raise and have 3 callers Preflop and then Bet and get 3 callers puts your hand at a disadvantage. Like you said if it was heads up then you should never fold to a lead out on the turn. Next time try to size your bets a little bigger to thin out the field and only have 1 or 2 players call. I noticed that in the 1/2 1/3NL if you raise 2 to 3 X the BB you still get lots of callers, so try to raise a little bit more like if you’re getting more than 2 callers.
