Re: Easy fold.....
Is the flop call correct with this highly coordinated board and big field? It looks so easy to make a second-best hand or get outdrawn on the river. Aside from the obvious flush and straight possibilities, A9/A8/99/88 are all common limping hands.
The turn is awkward as you may very well have the best hand. SB could have a pair + straight draw, flopped two pair, or K9-J9. BB could easily be protecting an ace. Either or both could have a club as reinforcement.
You also could be in terrible trouble with about 2-4 outs and facing further raises. There are many cards you don't want to see. I think your fold is fine.
I would feel really uncomfortable about this situation even if the turn ace were red. You can't expect an ace to hit this large field and not get some heat. That brings me back to the beginning. I think the trouble started when you called the flop.
