A rare good fold

Can you give details? I'm curious as to how this hand played out.

Preflop, the QQ's raised 3x, 44 called so I called to see the flop. AJ can be dominated by so many hands but it was soooooooted ;)

After the flop, it checked around. I know hoyazo to be very aggressive and Goat will be from time to time, so I was hoping to get a bluff from one of them on the turn.

On the turn, hoyazo bet out and Goat and I both called. I don't remember the exact amount. I remember thinking QQ could be out there, so we will see what the river brings.

On the river, hoyazo shoved all in, Goat called. I thought about it and figured I had to be beat. Bummer, because it was a great flop, but no way I was still ahead.

I folded and saw I was really behind from the start.

Out of curiosity, you think you're getting away from the hand if the river is an Ace? It would have made for a very interesting hand which, given your read on Hoy, I can't see me getting away from the hand. Just curious into your thought process...

I don't know if I can get away after an Ace on the river. Maybe. Maybe not. I beat several hands that I can't with the King coming. Also could be a gut call.
