Default Re: Bad Fold with a big pot?

[ QUOTE ]
Taj 15/30

Okay, very tight table but a few lags. I am on the button with JJ.

UTG (Hee Haw) limps fold to CO 2(Solid Player) who raises, I three bet Small Blind, another Donk cold calls, UTG calls CO 2 calls

Flop:
8s, 6d, 4c

SB checks, UTG bets (maniac) CO 2 calls, I raise, SB calls, UTG calls, CO2 call-raises, I Fold

I was trying to Isolate AK at CO 2, wasn't expecting all the action and I figure CO2 probably has aa or kk when he call-raises and one of the donks may have hit their set. There is about 24 SB in the pot when I fold.

Should I have check called, the flop and folded the turn?

I think you made a good read as this action on this board will always mean you are behind if you are against sane opponents but you still should peel one off on the flop and then fold the turn unimproved. You have the odds to draw to your set so see one more card. By the way if there was a flush draw on the flop then you should be 3 betting the villain to protect your hand, not thinking about folding. But when someone checkraises for value on this low rainbow board after you raised preflop, this means a set almost every time. So your thinking was correct but your execution was off by one street.
