I had been at this table for a while and had just won a few big pots leading up to this hand. So far, the table was pretty loose and pretty aggressive, but often with weaker hands (ie-overaggro with low PPs on high flops).

My initial thought was that I was up against two-pair on the flop. The possibility of J10 on the turn scared me a little.

What do you think?

Fold pre-flop. You cannot profitably call two bets cold with a small pp if only one player has entered the flop. You need 4 or more already in the pot to make that move.

As played, the flop is ok. But when you're led into on the turn, it's time to just call it down. You're behind AA, KK, QQ, all possible holdings for an utg preflop raiser. I do still call it down though, as AK would probably play like this at 0.25/0.50.
