We're getting 4.5:1. UTG is like a normal player. I'm inclined to defend cos he can have hands we are ahead of and also we're like 35% against Ax.

4.5:1 means you need 18% equity, this means defending is correct most of the time

I would fold. Part of that equity is getting to see 5 cards and win by the end of the hand.

yes fold this - it's so hard to realise equity with this kind of trash hand

There is more reason to fold deeper, because your reverse implied odds are worse.
