Default Uncharacteristic Fold in a Big Pot

PP 3/6 limit ring

UTG+1 42/24/3
CO 33/4/0.45
BB 25/8/1.3

UTG+1 calls, CO calls, Hero (button with KdJd) raises, BB calls, UTG+1 and CO call. ($25)

Flop [ Kh, Ts, Js ]
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, BB calls two cold, UTG+1 threebets, CO calls, Hero caps, BB calls two more, UTG+1 calls, CO calls ($73)

Turn [ Ad ]
BB checks, UTG+1 bets, CO raises, Hero folds

Now everyone knows folding big pots are a sin, but what do you think of this fold getting 7.5:1ish?

I think your fold was appropriate-- it was bet and reraised in front of you. Under normal circumstances, against 1 or MAYBE at MOST 2 players you might call, but not when its bet at. Not to mention you still have a player left to act and another who might 3-bet and yet another who might even cap it.

Folding in big pots is stupid when it costs you a bet or two to see the finish, but your not even at the river. Smart fold.

You do realize you aren't drawing dead, right?

You have 4 outs to the probable best hand and 2ish outs to split the pot 3 way.

Uncharacteristic? CO holds KQ/QJ/QT here basically every time, and UTG+1 has at least 2 pair by the turn. You're always behind, UTG+1 may reraise, and you can hit your 4 outs on the river and still lose.
