Hello poker people

So, I was playing in the 250k gtd on pokerheaven last night, 320 euro buyin which is way above what I would normally pay, due to being a tightwad and after about  1 hour of play or thereabouts this happened :

The blinds are 75 150 and I"m in mid-position with  :as: qh . the guy to my right limps and I raise to 450, the sb calls as does the original limper, everyone else folds. The flop comes  ac  tc   6h , sb checks as does limperman, I bet out for 900 chips, about 1/3 of my remaining stack and the sb goes allin as does the limper, I think long and hard before folding, sb flips over  ad1  5c and the limper has a flush draw with  9c  jc.

Turn and river brings two queens and the sb with A5 scoops a big pot. I would have had a full house of course :( Was this a bad fold by me? It was for all my chips and I didn"t really have a good read on either player at that point.

I am really interested to know peoples opinions on this hand if possible.

Thanks in advance.

How much were the small blind and limper all in for?

George2Loose:
Yeh stack sizes would be useful. You can easily put one of them on a draw so it"s close. If you"ve put that much of your stack in tho I"d lean toward a call.

For future ref raise more pre flop. If you"re first in then 3* is fine however when you get a limper or two you should consider 4-5* it otherwise you"re giving everyone far too good a price to call

GrazB:
thanks for the replies so far guys, all 3 of us had roughly the same amount of chips, somewhere in the region of 3k each before the hand started, I realise the preflop raise was maybe a bit on the small side but I"ve been burnt so may times with AQ I didn"t want to commit too much preflop, had the sb or limper bet out I woulda probably pushed allin after the flop but with them both checking then after I had obv showed strength and had played a very tight game up until that point I figured I was either up against a set or 2 pair with both of them pushing allin after checking the flop to me. I figured if I folded I could still play my way back into the tournament rather than calling off my whole stack with just top pair. The sb who called my raise out of position with A5 turned out to be a complete fish and I knocked him out of the tournament later on just before we reached the money. If I had known how bad he was I would have called with my AQ regardless of the limpers allin, I think :)
