What do you think, the action after the flop made me feel better. Villian mini re-re-raises with aces, trap-checks with top set, and tries a value bet on the turn, when he is committing himself to turbo call in all-in?

At the time, it was a weak, scared money fold, I knew right away I was going to fold, but I think it was right. You?

It was a lot of chips and you had two players to beat but you had kings, the second best hand. You've got plenty of chips to wait around. I would've put one of them on aces based upon the pre-flop action. It remains a possibility as does a set of tens or sevens or AT or JQ or QQ or JJ so you still might've lost if you called. I would say it was a good fold.

I would never fold this and would push preflop.

I think you answered your own question. This is a scared money play. You have the chance to triple up early with KK you can't let that go.
