I'm just not sure I can fold this hand here. Can you fold this hand? I only have t30 chips committed to this pot.

MP2 (t760)
MP3 (t875)

SB (t715)
BB (t760)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP1 calls t30, MP2 calls t30, 1 fold, CO calls t30, Hero calls t30, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t180) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets t730 (All-In), CO calls t80 (All-In), Hero calls t730, SB folds, BB folds, MP1 folds.

??? Folding is ridiculous

Nope..

I think you'll see this move with 55 <10% of the time. Most of the time you'll be up against an ace, smaller 2pr, or a draw. The only other hand that is close right now is something like KhTh, and even then you have way too much equity to fold.

Not that this would make any difference in the hand but aren't you on the button??? Why didn't you raise to knock out the blinds and take it 3 handed instead of 5??? Obviously 5s call anyway but that's besides the point. Well to each his own i guess.
OHH yeah I call it in a second...

I don't play the same way with every hand. Sometimes I raise. Sometimes I raise a lot. Sometimes I limp.

I tend to just call with AQ here early in sit and go's.

This is gonna mean nothing coming from me...but I don't see anything 'fishy' about it. 55 is really the only hand you're worried about, and even then you have those 4 sweet outs to a higher boat. Glad to see it hit like a charm.

Just curious...what would you have hypothetically done if someone with a larger stack than CO had called in front of you? Still a call?

I don't know. I just don't think I can lay this hand down.

Scuba this isn't a bad thing. Folding this hand would make you a fish.
