[0.88x$7 is the amount you expect to lose so to break even you need to win 0.12 x n .

.: n = 0.88x7/0.12= $51]

So his stack would have to be at least $51 (It is actually more than this since AA can draw out on 55 after the flop.

He doesnt have the stack (and neither do you) so just fold.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 19.7741 % 19.60% 00.17% { 5c5d }
Hand 2: 80.2259 % 80.06% 00.17% { AhAs }
Aren't you forgetting the third person here? I was getting 2:1 pot odds. Had I hit the set I would have stacked two players, hence doubling the implied odds.

I think I made the right fold here, I am just bringing to light the small possibility that a call would have been another idea.
