I'd be inclined to fold the turn personally. Your drawing dead if he has a 5, 3 outs if he has a King and you will need to call 2 more bets to see a showdown if you put him on a bluff. Definitely not a good spot to be in, so a fold on the turn is your best option IMO.Pre-Flop and Flop are fine btw.

That's kind of what I figured.I've gotta think he hit a set of fives since he woke up there on the turn.

It's one thing to be aggressive, but when you get played back at and have nothing, it's best to give it up. Yes, sometimes you get outplayed, it just happens. You have to be laying down the best hand sometimes if your playing well.
