I say its a good laydown here. You've got too dickheads going all in before you and all you have is a relatively small top pair. One is probably on the OESD, the other probably hit his set.

This is a very good laydown.

Though you probably have the best hand at the time (likely) it's not a huge favorite against 2 other hands. Valuing survival over pushing small edges, your fold was just.

OK thanks guys, just had to make sure I wasn't going insane here:

*** SHOW DOWN ***
IGotDueces: shows [:Ac: ] (a pair of Nines)
aslanky: shows [:Kc: ] (high card King)
IGotDueces collected 6063 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 6063 | Rake 0
Board [6h 7s 9d 4h Jh]
Seat 1: lucero27 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: IGotDueces (small blind) showed [Ac 9c] and won (6063) with a pair of Nines Seat 3: johnmr (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 4: Thumsen folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: aslanky showed [Kc 8c] and lost with high card King Seat 6: deeznutz88 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: Keledon folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 8: dwarfman1990 folded on the Flop Seat 9: DEVIL1 folded before Flop (didn't bet)

But anyway, bah!

You're 50% to win against those 2 hands.

Here's EXACTLY the same hand and board, this time in a ring game, and I laid down the turn with my overpair.

But I think this was my mistake, I misread my hand and therefore didn't raise it from my BB preflop.
