Default How weak is this fold?

MP1 is on tilt because I won most of his stack earlier, and could have anything. No reads on MP3.

How was the PF raise?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

SB ($4.64)
BB ($1.40)
UTG ($4.13)
UTG+1 ($0.85)
MP1 ($4.15)
MP2 ($6.44)
MP3 ($2)
Hero ($9.18)
Button ($1.83)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $0.02.
UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, MP3 (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.1</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls $0.08, UTG+1 calls $0.08, MP1 calls $0.08, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $0.08.

Flop: ($0.55) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $4.05 (All-In)</font>, MP3 calls $1.90 (All-In), Hero folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.

I don't know how things are at that level. It's not a great preflop raise anyway, IMO. The only hands you are beating are 1010-KK and A with a lower than 9 kicker. I can see one going all in, but with the call as well it's probably better to just fold, because they most likely know you have an A.

I don't mind the preflop raise as a whole, but in the very loose live 5/5 NL game that I play at Harrah's, it takes 10BB's to isolate when so many have entered the pot. So I would think that if you're gonna make this isolation attempt, you should be betting $0.25.

I click on sit out and play on these tables and the $0.05/0.10 tables when I'm on tilt to blow some steam and it always takes at least $0.25 to isolate on these in a family pot. I play the .5/1 NL tables on PS and the penny/dime NL players call me the $100 TillerMan because of this tilt tactic. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Now, your fold is fundamental, not weak. You don't wanna be calling all in here.

haha! i do that too! i love to play the mainiac that jams every pot at .25/.50 limit in order to blow off some steam. it's a great way to cure tilt, esp when you pull some silly monster suckout and pass the tilt off on some other poor bastard! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

and i aggree that it's a mandatory fold, esp with one caller already.
