They check I bet half the pot (around 30k), sb folds BB makes it 119k. I fold right away. Had never seen him and he was in 3rd at that time. Pretty much only block KQ and he could have just about anything in that spot. Well, he turned out to be pretty loose, so I was probably good there, but I pretty much made it risk free so I think was a good fold overall. Busted a low stack when I shoved with aq from the small blind and he had a5 in the big blind, but pretty much cruise control at the final table. Something else that helped was one player had about half the chips in play when we got 6 handed and he kept playing and winning pots that he didn’t need to be in, so that was a big help
