First 'story', please forgive any mistakes
3/6 Hold'em, 2:00am
Hero is the dealer with J /images/graemlins/club.gif10 /images/graemlins/club.gif.
Two middle position players limp in, as does Hero.
SB Folds, BB checks.
Flop 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Checked to Hero who bets. BB folds, the two others call.
Turn [5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif] 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif
MP1 bets, MP2 calls, Hero raises. MP1 calls, MP2 folds.
MP1 has been seing maybe 1 in 5 flops, but seems to never fold until the turn or river.
River: [5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif] Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
MP1 Bets, Hero fears the overcard that fell and sadly mucks his hand: $&%$# rivered.
MP1 flips his hand over smiling to everyone, and although it looks like garbage from far away, it turned out he'd turned the full house: 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Is there anything I could've done to keep my chips?
As I write this, looking back on the people in the game, I think I should've raised preflop, but after the flop I don't know what I would do different next time.
Could you even play this hand in a different way postflop?
In retrospect it was a good fold for reasons other than I thought, but would you have made the same one? There was no real reason to suspect he had a Queen, or anything for that matter, maybe I should've thought he had a smaller ten... oy, please help.
