PS $11...down to 11, could I have folded this?
 

Pokerstars...down to 11 players....my stack was quickly dwindling...could I have let this go and waited? My read on the button was that he could be pushed off hands..I hadn't had a hand in a while and I had only picked up chips coming over the top of his positional raises on me. So i saw this bet as possibly being a steal attempt that I couldn't come over the top of...

Easy fold IMO. Why did you have to call there? You really thought the button was stealing with a less better hand the majority of the time? I know it's 6 handed but AJ doesn't have a lot of hands dominated in that spot.

Not a naked steal either, the raiser has to be concerned about the suspicious limp from the CO.

yes, fold IMO as well......limper makes it official
