I get dealt Ah-3h-4h-10h-Ks second to act
Situation 1) UTG raises. Call? Fold? 3bet?
Situation 2) UTG folds its up to us. Fold? Raise?
Its a great A-5 starting hand but theres 0% chance we can scoop. Anybody that plays with us, regardless of their cards will end up with half the pot. Do we just throw this away under most circumstances? Maybe we steal with it on the button?

You'r asking what to do with Ah 3h 5h vs an utg raise in badacey?
I'd start by not consering 3 betting

Ah 3h 4h, not Ah 3h 5h. We are probably 50-50 to get half the pot HU, and nearly zero to ever scoop.

This is the sort of hand we might call with in a big multiway pot from late position, right? But definitely not in EP vs UTG raise where we'll likely be out of position with a hand that never scoops and 3betting is just giving away money because why would you want to isolate when you want multiway with a one way hand.

Play hands that can scoop.
Don't play hands that can't scoop.
