Would it have been better for me to fold pre-flop?

I'm folding to the LRR. It's almost always AA, and I can't remember the last time I saw a hand worse than AA/KK/AK.
I doubt this loose-passive villain chose this moment to run a LRR bluff squeeze.
Fold to EGREGIOUS size LRR and it's not close.
What hands from my range would I continue with - only AA?
Honestly, maybe.
always default to assuming people are greedy, which means that huge pf 3b/4bets = AA/KK, with some occasional AKs.
Yeah, fold to the 3!. If he was somehow LRR bluffing, he would use a more normal sizing. If he is somehow making a play, let him have the small pot preflop. Villain is probably playing extremely face up and the way to exploit it is to fold.
The preflop call of the huge 3! is horrific. It seems like you are looking at the strength of your hand rather than the situation.
Somewhere between a shrug-fold and a chuckle-fold pre.
Yeah, def fold pre. If someone's playing their draws passively who doesn't play aggressive, they're not gonna be bluffing pre like that. I would even fold QQ here too but that's just me.
Fold pre.
Easy fold pre. AKo is easily the most overplayed and overrated hand in NLH cash games imo.
Folding, even kings become dicey from this sizing from this player type.
If you don't fold then shove, but fold.
