    Didn't have any reads really on the two of them, so I was going strictly on betting and position.

    The fold is fine. Given how many people started the hand I can see a jack, esp JQ or Jxss. You could bet the turn($12-$15) and he would certainly raise with a Jack since there is another person behind him. I would probably bet the turn in the heat of battle but really looking at the hand it looks like a certain check/fold to a bet and call.

    I can definitely find a fold there. I might lead the turn, though.

    If I check, I fold to that bet. I can see the river getting ugly.
