I don't see any good reason to call that.

I know I should not worry about the potential outcome, but sometimes I need reassurance I did the right thing. I was going to call the button, but when the SB went all-in as well I knew I should fold. He had been playing very tight.

Fold with fist pump. I didn't look at the Spoiler yet, but I'm guessing BTN had two high suited cards and SB has a small pair. When the flop brings an Ace you second guess your fold. I'll post this first, then come back and see how wrong I was.

OK, so I was a little off, but more or less the same result. All the players involved are in the Red Zone (according to Harrington's Book), but these guys are even worse off than you. I might be tempted if it were HU, but against two players IMO, you're more times than not going to be up against a better ace and a low pair. In this case here, You were a pretty big dog against both of these guys. Good fold.

I'm gathering that you're also second guessing yourself because you went on to get NO cards and ended up getting it in with crap? Just guessing as it's happened to me countless times.

I went out 50th I think. I got it in with TT only to have the guy two spots down call me with KK. I am getting to really hate getting TT. I always seem to get dominated, which I lose, or get into a coin flip, which I lose.

uhuh, TT got me last night, too. I was kicking ass in the .25 R&A thing on cake last night, sitting 9th out of like 31 people (30 ITM) when I got TT in middle position. I raised 2.5BB and the only guy that had me covered called. I would've let it go, but I flopped an up and down straight draw and knew if I bet it, he'd put me all-in just for fun. Long Story short he had KJ and got his king somewhere along the way. That crippled me, but still cashed. Why can't I EVER hit my fucking draws!?!?!?
