bottom pair, top kicker
 

Early in a PokerStars 30-60 session with a mixed field, I'm dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the big blind. EP limps, MP limps, cutoff limps, button limps, sb completes and I check.

Flop is:

3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Sb checks, EP checks, MP bets, cutoff calls, button raises, and sb folds. Is this a routine fold?

If it was raised preflop the pot might be big enough to call 2 here, but in this case you have to fold I think.
