PF - call is fine w/ 57s.
Flop - we flop bottom 2 on a board with some possible SD's and one to the flush. We should be raising here to protect our hand. Make it like 1.25-1.55.
Turn - kind of a meh card. the 89 straight just got there, JT just made another pair, JJ setted up. But, it is off suit so we are probably still ahead in most situations. Probably need to make a PSB bet here if you got called OTF so you don't give your opponent odds to hit his flush.
River - third club finally shows up, and also its a 9 so any other SD just got there. Now we can think about folding.

AP - easy fold. Not a great run out for our hand.

Fold pre. Calling with this junk hand OOP vs 2 opp is just asking for trouble. You will rarely hit anything and when you do you are likely to get yourself in a though spot as seen in this example.

If you're beginning to learn poker (I'm assuming based on other posts, no disrespect) you should try to keep it simple and learn the basic concepts. That means not looking for tough spots like playing junk hands OOP. Keep it simple, tighten your range, and as you get more comfortable and can handle tougher spots, then you can think about broadening your range.

But 75s is just not worth it here despite what is seemingly decent odds to call pre.
