Villain is 33/22/3.3... had been trash talking back and forth with some other player the last 10 minutes, other than that I havn't noticed anything specific about his play.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $69.95
UTG+1: $54.35
Hero: $49.25
Button: $29.95
SB: $45.70
BB: $49.25

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with K K
UTG calls, UTG+1 raises to $2.25, Hero raises to $6.75, 4 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: J 9 2 ($14.75, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $7.5, Hero raises to $27, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: A ($68.75, 2 players)
UTG+1 is all-in $20.6, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $20.6 returned to UTG+1.

Results:
Final pot: $68.75

I was getting pretty good odds there... thoughts on fold?

raise more on the flop so that you can call the turn. another $5 ought to do it.

btw, since he has you covered, you realize you only had to call ~$15 here, which makes it a pretty weak fold, esp if villain would push a pair + draw type of hand, or just a draw which is a possibility.

 Flop raise is fine, at this point you're not getting away from the hand. You could even raise a little less and maybe get a couple worse hands to call.

Folding turn is bad. You only have to be good 20% of the time.
