Default Folding AK preflop again

PokerStars $10 SNG, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed)

SB (t1420)
BB (t1185)
Hero (t2325)
MP1 (t2108)
MP2 (t1650)
CO (t385)
Button (t4427)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="red">Hero raises to t120</font>, MP1 calls t120, MP2 folds, CO raises to t385, Button folds, SB folds, BB raises to t650, <font color="red"> Hero folds</font>, MP1 folds.

Flop: (t1290) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

Turn: (t1290) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

River: (t1290) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

Final Pot: t1290
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: t1025 (t1025), between BB and CO.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB (t1025).</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: t265 (t265), between BB and CO.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB (t265).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows As Qc (one pair, jacks).
CO shows Kc 2c (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: BB wins t1290. </font>

I have entered about two or three pots at this point, raise 4xBB from UTG, and get a call, a raise and a re-raise (if you didn't notice). To me, the third raiser screams aces or kings, and will certainly call if I push.

Stars has its poor players, but I haven't seen any stupidity from this table other than from the CO raiser, whom I'm not worried about. I also felt I was in solid enough chip position for the rest of the tournament without putting my stack at risk with a drawing hand. Also, I couldn't know how MP1 would respond.

Obviously in hindsight this fold blew, but is it a good laydown generally?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
