On the flop, I was sure I was ahead of the SB (he later said he had KQ), and didn't want to give up my position relative to the OR. I figured he would play his hand fairly 'face up'. I doubt he would have made a move at the pot with TT-QQ. That left a range my hand was doing terrible against: AA,KK,99, and some flush/combo draws, so I folded. Yes, I block a lot of his value, but I figured in a 5 way pot he just wasn't bluffing enough to make the call profitable.
