If you're going to fold on that flop, just fold AA preflop.

What flop would you call an all-in when you're holding AA?

Alright, now that I've stepped away from the computer for a while, relaxed, and looked at this objectively, I agree that this was a really bad fold. I mean, really bad.

If this wasn't my thread, I'd be saying these exact things to someone else.

Oh, and I'd like to thank pshreck for his tactful replies. I'll be off to pursue other interests now, because obviously one botched hand is enough to judge my overall playing ability.

There's no way I would fold this, but it is not such a bad fold that you have to look elsewhere for entertainment.

I have certainly seen some people who flop trip Kings get over-excited and push. So the only things you're worried about are KK or QQ. But wouldn't either of those hands reraise pre-flop? Definitely a bad laydown.

I agree it's a call so I don't want to argue too much, but you also can easily be up against KQ. In an $11 having called 30 and then called a raise to 150 PF certainly doesn't rule that out. Same goes for 66. Actually, I think these hands are more likely because KK or QQ would have likely raraised PF.

Points well taken.

I did actually lose a hand earlier that was eerily similar to this one. Someone had flopped the nut straight, and moved in immediately after the flop against my aces. I called, and busted. This goes to show that at this level, folks aren't always trying to milk you.

Fortunately the other percent of the time some fish is turning over K4o.

If you never folded AA on the flop in a HU pot, ever at the 10s you would not be making a mistake imo.

When I first saw your HH for some reason I thought the 6 was a J, so I was like thats a tought spot. Then I started reading the responses and was a bit confused.

Easy call.

There are only 5 hands I am concerned bout here, and you still got to call, JTh, J9h, T9h, 67h, and 56h.

Those are the worst hands you can be up against in my opinion. I would put him on AK-T9, trying to buy the pot with a pair, or a draw.
