    I'm pretty sure this fold is correct, right? The tougher question is, what did he have? AK? Two pair?

    Should I have folded on the flop?

    First hand I'm probably playing the same way, yeah its a good fold. I'm pretty sure he's got at least AK here. Second hand I'm probably folding preflop. I'd probably call from the bb, but from the sb I'm looking for a pretty good hand, like K10 or better to call 3xbb raise to avoid being dominated like in this instance. Suited connectors are good too IMO when defending blinds. On a side note, I take it you go to UofM, me too, what year are you and where you living next year?
