    No Info, sat at the table for like 20-30 minutes and had to run an errand, just got back and had to post the BB out of the blinds. Please only reply if you have reasoning behind your answer.

    Wow, how long did it take you to fold? Yes, a good fold. Before seeing the results, I put the SB on a flopped str8 (4-7) since he was willing to over shove his stack. So, yes a tuff fold but a disciplined one.

    In late pos PF I would raise with 55, but other than that it was played well.

    Its a good fold cuz you didnt have the best hand but i am getting it in there all the time. <STRIKE>I usually raise it preflop though</STRIKE> I am always raising it preflop with any pocket pair unless someone has raised in front where i can set mind. But in the case the hand plays out the same.

    I have some experience vs your opponent in this hand, and can tell you that the way the action went, you were never going to have the best hand. He'd almost surely have popped a big pair PF from the blinds to thin the field or take it down right there, and wouldn't be jamming it with mere overs plus flush draw.

    best case scenario is that they are both flushing. worst case is you are vs 6's and a str8.
    A usual case could be a set and a flush draw, in that case it depends what set he has as to whether you are ahead or behind.

    You are only truly scared of 66. If someone has a str8 you have the right odds to play this hand in this case. So analyse if you can see someone showing up with 66 here.

    That's my advice and good fold

    Why are you asking for our thoughts when you already made it perfectly clear how you felt about the hand when you typed/self-back-patted:

    ChipAndAPair said, "wow"
    ChipAndAPair said, "SICK FOLD"
    ChipAndAPair said, "55"
    ChipAndAPair said, "oh my god"

    Also, raise pre and don't post results.

    doubt i ever fold simply bc the board is so draw heavy, to many combo draw/ pr+draw/2 pr possibilities for me to fold

    i can tell u that im going broke with alot of hands that 55 is ahead of

    but was a pretty sick fold and gotta be a gr8 feeling

    good fold
    im folding here just because this board is so draw heavy+ 2 opponents check raised shoved on me which is
    extremely powerful considering the line im taking vs their line, im sure when they take
    this line on this board im not always ahead of BOTH of their ranges combined so it was a really good fold
    on your part, you saved yourself some money on that one.
