-----------------

Preflop
2 limpers so i raise it up 3x with a suited ace. Think A5 is marginal here, just joined table so was trying to build an agressive image. Min 3-bet by E worries me here put him on a better ace or AA-1010. 3 more limpers, just call now due to value in pot.

Flop
flop trips, donk bet oop by B. I raise up and get re-raised by E again. Jack the lad all in. I just call again unsure on the re-raise, think he could be defending with KK-1010. but still possible to have ace because he reraised me PF and on the flop.

Turn
I hate my own bet here think i should either be shoving if i think im ahead or check/folding if i think im behind.
Even after my stupid bet i could possibly fold here.

-----------------

After going over this i can probably get away on the turn if i had check folded rather than commiting myself with a small raise.

What do you think?

    fold it pre flop, raggy aces are horrible in a multi way pot due to situations like this, hit trips but still not sure if your in front!!
    pre flop as well if your gunna raise (personally i wouldnt have) but if you are going to make it 6 or 7 times bb otherwise your just inviting callers which you dont want with an a5!!!
    even with the trips on the flop i still think its pretty obvious your behind in at least 1 spot but in the end it turned out to be 2 so i think you could have got away at this point and saved yourself some money, personally dont think your ever in front by the turn wat can u put them on??? both on kk???
    fold it pre flop and definately fold it after the action that comes your way on the flop!

    raise bigger pre id flat turn donk lead your stack is only slightly bigger than the pot, such a dry board its easy to get money in later on
    c/c or c/f turn depending on his bet size

    Personally with the suited ace in late posiion I'd rather just limp along and try and hit a good drawing flop. Raising here is ok maybe but it has to be WAY more especially at this level where they'll call with any 2.
