$Freeroll NL HE: SNG: Can you fold here?

I am UTG with 1080 chips and the blinds are 5/10.

I raise it to 35

UTG+1 calls (1000 chips) so does the SB (985 chips) and BB (870) chips.

Flop comes Kc8d3d.

I lead out. It really would not have mattered what I bet but let's just say it was a large enough.

UTG+1 goes all in. SB and BB both fold.

Can you fold here with top pair?

Grrrr,

Forgot to mention what I was holding. I was holding AA.

This early in the game, yes I could lay down the overpair. But here I don't think I would. Being a freeroll you will so often get TPGK making this type of shove that you are ahead of the range. Yes they could have flopped a set or 2P but this kind of push is usually something like a TP w/ FD.

Pot is still relatively small, you've led out on the flop..umm.. how much?.. how much is in the pot now?.. 'guessing' he's shoved for ~4x pot? Would he be shoving a set like this? (just cuz of the flush draw possibility?). I doubt it. 2pr?.. what K-8 calls this preflop.. K8s?
The bet seems odd... the stack sizes seem odd to me (are these 1,000 chip starting stacks?).... I just call here and get ready to get reg. in the next one.

considering it is a freeroll and early in the game. many donks are still at large.
he may either have a flush draw or a top pair. more likely that you are ahead
at this flop... i would call in this situation. better luck again next time. :)

there's no way i'm folding here. i'm more likely to stack off on a flush draw board too. i would however make a bigger preflop raise. maybe5-6xBB.

You can't fold here especially with AA...i bet the guy most likely had KQ. Since it was a freeroll players would play fast with those types of hands.

with the other two villians folding...i think it would be a good call here...he could have a set of 8s but i doubt it...it looks to me like he is married to KQ OR KJ

As said it's a call - you get these kinds of shoves from all TPs /TK,GK,BK, even flush-draws or air in freeroll early stages.

Bet out more pf though (I'd even go 100) as you will get at least one caller anyway but might want to isolate / limit number of callers.
