Yes I've had bad feelings before about cards, I also have had good feelings about cards that I wouldn't normally wouldn't play too. I usually go with my gut. It is a good thing you folded nice fold..
It's good that you realized that you could be beat here. You could very easily have been up against a set, AK, straight or a flush. The more you can get away from these spots, the better off you will be a the long run.

i would'nt say it was a good fold, but a lucky one. you had the best hand till the end & sum1 was lucky enough to catch a flush draw, with um 6 high...a pot sized raise or so probiby would have gotten the 6 high to fold but u never know eh?.. im not saying you played it wrong cuz you never know whats going to happen in a game - all you can do is play your best & hope to catch sum of that luck that every1 seems to be getting...an so on and so forth...
Everytime I see a rat. I get a bad feeling, I always just play my flop and win but come rat the one with most chips win. I swear it gets aggravating sometimes.
Looking back at this hand that's a very skilled fold based on the preflop action. A minraise from early position is often an intiser to get players into the pot. The initial raiser holding A5 suited, could have easily had aces or AK. Though the flop looked to you, your hand would be easily dominated by a set of aces, having you drawing thin. Top 2 pair would have you needing to hit a 2 outer or running straight cards just to chop the pot. Another opponent could have held QJ, which resulted in the nut straight. You have to stop looking at how good you hit and think about how the board may have helped your opponent. A person with a flush draw is going to make their hand 1/3 of the time after the flop, so regardless the hold cards, they have enough pot odds and implied odds to continue on to the river.

lol rats probably not but i deffinately agreee the feeling is there.
same as you have a good feeling on a rag or the push to steal or the "i know he has it" feeling....
i'm not sure anyone here raelizes that OP folded PREFLOP.
which i think is fine. A10o is an OK hand, but not one that you need to play in every situation. this is one where its fine to fold. it also would have been fine to call or reraise the miniraise.
