Turn is a Q, I bet $30 and he shoves for his last $40, and I cry and fold. Maybe that's a -EV laydown due to the pot odds I was getting, but in my mind I was 100% sure he had the straight, so I folded.
You're giving up a bit by not playing your best hands even harder due to the implied odds against you. Folding there is kinda silly.

Laying down because you're likely to be beat is a leak.

Throw in the donk factor and I think it's a pretty easy call.
