Re: Was this correct to fold here
I think you have to get in MP's shoes and ask why he would raise so much here? Maybe a set or flopped straight (if he'd play such a hand PF that would make a straight on this board) would play it this way, but a lot of the time, these hands will risk one card with a smooth call to try and get your chips on the Turn, or will make a smaller raise, hoping you'll come along further.
The all-in smells of "I don't want you to call, but if you do I still have outs." You have top/bottom two pair. That's very strong against an OESD, flush draw, or overpair.
I'd call it, against the range of hands MP would play this way, I'd say you're a pretty good favorite (and even in a worst-case scenario, you have a few outs).
