yes, fold this on the flop. You're reasoning is fine preflop, but playing tight preflop is the key to success with SNGs.

As far as the flop, the MP2 bet gave you good pot odds to see the turn, but the MP3 raise ruined it for you. So after that MP3 raise, you have to fold.

Folding this preflop is the equivelent to folding 22-66 preflop. So folding this preflop is pretty terrible.

Postflop is a fold though after the raise.

this defines your -roi. It is a hand to play, but in a fixed stack scenario with a bunch of manics, I don't think so. my 2 cents

welcome back to the forum, you made some good posts before you left.
