yikes, that sucks, but I still think you made a good fold, given your reads.....just out of curiosity, what was shown down?

My Reaction? That sucks, but it's results-oriented thinking. What did everyone else have that's what I'm dying to know. Sure this time a Runner-runner AA came, but what happens the other 999/1000 times that it doesn't?

Does an Ace on the turn give me the green light, or does it depend on how the others respond on the turn?

it depends on how others respond to the turn. If you turned an ace, you're gonna want to see a river card if not the showdown. Its a matter of how aggressive you should be.

Given you're confident in your reads, I think folding the turn was probably the best move to make.

Results in white below: 
MP2 has 7h 7s (full house, sevens full of aces).
CO has 8d 9s (straight, ten high).
Outcome: MP2 wins 19.25 BB. 

Despite it all, I was ok with the end result.

I think this was a very good fold and very few of us would have been able to do it. The reason why I like it so much is that there are no draws to pump so these guys are very likely to be pumping legitimate hands. You're almost definitely behind two pair or worse (likely worse). If you had them as maniacs I'd get this hand to showdown but against a TAG and bunch passives this is correct. The only reason I can see calling is you have great position to see how things develop on the turn and this pot is HUGE. I still think you're drawing to 2 outs 90% of the time here.

Forget about what happened after you folded. It will not help you in future situations when you must do the same thing.
