Default 100NL raising then folding preflop

I have this issue with folding to a reraise preflop. It's hard for me to do. I guess it comes from my limit game experience. Even this one was hard for me, but it's probably the "easiest fold ever".

Can I call if they both have me covered? If not, how big do all of our stacks have to be?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) converter

SB ($96.75)
BB ($95.60)
Hero ($144.20)
MP ($36.75)
Button ($53.45)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $10</font>, BB calls $9, Hero folds.

eh... i might make a call here. BB called... I'm in position...

thats probably a mistake, but i wouldn't quite call this the easiest fold ever

note- if BB folds, this is the easiest fold ever

you've got position and good odds, i think i call is ok. If the raiser is passive post flop and you think you could get a real cheap showdown if an A flops, then it is a definate call. if he cbets/fires 2nd barrels, then just let it go now, i don't think you quite enough implied odds for playing just a flush draw.

Yeah, I would not have a hard time folding this if BB didn't call or if the raisor was Button rather than SB, even though SB raising shows more strength than Button raising.
