please call me weak, but i fold after the SB minraise (what do you guys think you are ahead of?????)

You don't need to currently be ahead to profitably call a bet.

For instance A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] vs T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on a 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is currently "behind" but a favorite to win the pot in the end so it would be a mistake to fold to an all-in bet.

In this case, hero is getting almost direct pot odds and extremely nice implied odds to draw to his straight and should call.
