Well, I'm sure whatever play you have made, I'm sure it was incorrect. Your $20 bet at the flop is awful. I mean, why are you betting $20 into a $12 pot? That bet just smells of BS.

Anyway, you're correct play is clearly to fold. You're getting less than 2-1 on your money to call....$75 to call with a pot of $107. Raising all-in is an option, but I am getting the feeling that the Villain is committing to his hand with his check-raise on the flop...He's committed almost 1/2 of his stack and is pretty much pot committed to call your re-raise. Half of the point of making a semi-bluff raise all-in here is hoping your opponent will fold. However, he has basically commited himself to calling you down and you can't beat a bluff yourself if you don't improve.

Clear fold, although it would help if you also posted all player's stack sizes (not just those in the hand) and payout structure in the future.
