I ran into a difficult spot with A-K preflop.

FullTiltPoker Game #2212994858: Table Laurel Ridge - $1/$2

Villan: ($197.75)
Hero: ($194)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero: [Kh Ac]
6 folds
Villan: raises to $7
Hero: raises to $22
1 fold
Villan: raises to $68
Hero: folds

I was unsure of what to do in this spot. Figuring that a villan's 4bet range was at worst A-K/Q-Q+, i folded. Was it a good fold? I decided to do an EV analysis to see if it was...

Good Fold?
