Yeah, by the turn I don't see what reasonable hand you could be ahead of. Good fold.

A better fold would have been preflop out of position vs a tight passive opponent's raise with only one other player in there.

Folding preflop is very bad IMO.

Do you really think it's "very bad"? Remember, this is not a default Party LAG we're talking about.

Doesn't matter. This guy's raising range here is broad regardless of his skill level. He's trying to isolate a probably weak openlimper and this hand plays fine 3-way as long as you got the postflop skills, which OP does.

Getting 5.7:1 with a button who plays poorly(tight-passive) we should be seeing every flop. We will almost always know where we stand postflop, and even if we didn't play better than him, we have more than enough hot-cold equity to make this work postflop. Folding assumes that by calling we will lose more than .5 BB/hand when we call. This simply can not be the case.

I don't think this is a fold from the BB even if he's heads up against the button raise.
