Is This a Good or Bad fold?

Hello. Had'nt been on the table for long when i awoke to K, Q suited, followed this up with a 3xBB raise and caught 2nd pair with the K. Was a little worried by the A but called anyway, the weird thing was he bet smaller on the turn which i thought was possibly a weakness but i had no reads whatsoever on the player. I flat called again and he followed up with a pot sized bet. I put him on the ace obviously, possibly A,9 or K,9 for the full house.Looking back at the hand, i probably made the right fold. Anyone differ? Just thought i would put it out there. Thanks in advance!

    Looks fine to me.

    He has a raggy ace here like 95% of the time. 

    Leads out like a donk on the flop. 

    He then slightly worries you have him outkicked on the turn and bets like a weakling.

    River pairs the board and he then doesn't have kicker issues and he bets strong again.

    Just trying to think like a fish but I'd put good money on it this was the case.

    Thanks CLIOKID, never knew where i was on this one to be brutally honest. Is there an argument for raising on the turn? It crossed my mind at the time, but with no read i thought it best just to see how it played and react as i went.

    There is definitely an argument for it but you'd have to know that the villain is capable of folding a raggy ace.

    At these levels I'm not so sure it's worth your while.

    i think clios spot on here, as for raising the turn i dont think they fold, they love putting out small blockers and then calling the raise lol, you could shove to give them a tougher decision but i think you played it the best way
