.....ummmm, huh?

When thinking about the hand, I think I played it correctly. It's hard though, knowing the outcome and that fact that I would have won and had a huge chip lead going into headsup. It worked out because the game ended quickly and we got a few hours of cash play in after.

I'm just second guessing my decision to fold.

No, I'd say you made the correct decision. And you made the money. Or at least didn't lose money. Just remember that kind of play for the next time you play a short-handed game with those guys.

this is one of those situations where you're probably up against:

a set
2 pair
a higher straight (aka 67 or even maybe if someone blows 62)

its also one of those situations where you just instapush, open your barf bag, and let loose when someone tables the higher flopped straight.

its okay to lose like that (similarly had you flopped mid-set and someone had the higher set).
