Am I right to fold here?

Just been moved, first hand at new table and no notes/reads on allin guy.My reason for the fold was that I have a very nice stack (didnt want to give away my stack advantage and a big weapon in picking up small pots at this early level of the tourny) and this came totally out of the blue (very quick shove). Its a toally benign flop, little draws and no real 2 pair combos and cant see a set doing this but I was more concerned that the 3 bettor could easily have AA<KK>QQ.
I chose to fold knowing its still early, I had no reads and have plenty of times to get in better spots.

    I call 101 times out of 100

    Looks like missed AK and no idea what to do.

    Could be QQAAKK but I call anyway.

    I know what your saying and had my stack been shallower I would snap call. But as I said, it wasnt just the allin guy that was my concern but the orignal 3 bettor. And that it was still early on.

    Appreciate any other thoughts. Just giving my thoughts and would like to how different ppl think about this spot.

    Very unlikely to be QQ+ with the action.

    If it's a BH its probably a snap call. Expect to see 8x/99/nothing most of the time.

    Meh, yeh I probably call.

    I think we can rule out him doing this with all sets and think we can rule out any 2pr combo (but ya never know).

    It's tricky.... obv not a very a good player so the above might not be true. Looks like 99/TT just trying to lock it up now but I don't love the fact the guy who 3bet our UTG open from UTG+1 is still to act after us.

    I don't think either option fold or call is gonna be that bad.

    I think the fold is fine you are likely ahead of him but still another behind who 3 bet you pre. Your reasons for folding are solid so fair enough. Call is standard but standard won't win a tournament

    Thanks everyone. I actually went on to finish 2nd but I just wanted to make sure it wasnt a terrible fold and that my reasoning was solid.
