Q♦ Q♥ A♠

While the board is scary, folding a pocket pair to a tiny bet in position is a massive over-fold that ignores pot odds.

Flop Analysis

Folding here is a significant error. Even though the board contains an Ace and a pair of Queens, we cannot fold a pocket pair to a bet this small when we are in position.

Note: Folding to a 20% pot c-bet with a pocket pair is far too tight; you only need 16% equity to call, which 66 easily maintains against a wide HJ range.
