Re: Would you fold here?

The flop play is crucial here, and it illustrates an important concept. When the pot is big, your main goal is to protect your hand. Period. Checking and hoping that the bet comes from LP isn't good enough.

This is nonsense. Any situation where betting protects your hand against anything better than a gutshot would have also allowed protection if you checked.

You really can't go for the flop c/r in a hand like this unless you know that a late position player is all but certain to bet or raise with a hand you beat.

What's wrong with an early position player betting and then bloating the pot with probably the best hand? Why are you ignoring the possibility that someone has a hand that will bet if checked to but only call a bet?
