Calling an UTG raise with A5s is a bit loose no?
I mean the only hand I think we need to be worried about really is JJ, 22 & 44 aren't always in villains UTG range but we shouldn't discount them fully. It's unlikely villain is opening 78/89s UTG though and stuff like AJ, KJs are in his range. Villain also has some worse flush draws in his range but I wouldn't think many.
Overbet polarises his range quite a lot imo so we can cut out stuff a lot of two pairs using the J, I doubt an overpair wouldn't bet the turn especially with the flush draw available and it would be a silly hand to turn into a bluff (although people do sometimes). I suppose he might check some of his 8x hands if he has them but he wouldn't then overbet the river.
Really I think we're best off just calling. I think his range is polarised and there isn't really anything we get extra value from (maybe 3 combos of flushes really) if we raise unless villain is a tard and it makes sense to play JJ this way.
