    Any Comments on my fold below.

    I concluded both other players had Qx or one had Quads, and chances were one would hit a higher FH than me. Was this a dumb fold, irrespective of the outcome ? I'm more interested in Winning the HU than 3 way races usually.

    I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I would have called/reraised. The check-raise would have me worried, but you have the FH. I wouldn't have put either of them on a FH. Both limped in and you have 3 of the four 3's. I would put one of them on a Q, especially due to the check-raise and check-call (so what are the chances the other has the case Q?). If the other person did have the Q (which they did) it would increase your odds to win. My only fear would have been having the board pair. Besides, you have plenty to cover either of them.

    Then again, I would have lost half my stack there.

    Wow great read, I'd double them up right there esp against 2 opponents, odds are someone doesn't have a FH

    ..Les

    EDIT: PLus if the smaller stack has me beat the most likely I collect a side pot big enough to justify calling and lose about $500 on the hand.

    when u flop a boat 3 way, my general rule of thumb is to get the chips in the middle.

    seriously. (the fold might have been correct, as it turns out, but it was a 1-in-a-couple hundred that you were already beat... as you were, and with a little bit of risk as the turn and river comes, but EASILY worth it).

    It seemed dumb when I folded, but something told me it was better to save my chips for a later fight. The check raise, called worried me. I know that FH against 2 unknows, I was 90% favorite, but if I asume they both have Qx my odds drop to 66% and both these players i had played before, usually tight, and often winning these mini steps.

    You should get all your money in on the flop and go broke 100% of the time here.
