Standard Bet Fold?? Standard Bet Fold??

I feel like I'm bet folding UI Aces a lot. Not sure if that's standard, or maybe a bit too weak/exploitable??

    Merge, $0.05/$0.10 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 6 Players
    Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #10463992

    UTG: $9.37 (93.7 bb)
    MP: $10.88 (108.8 bb)
    CO: $8.38 (83.8 bb)
    Hero (BTN): $16.71 (167.1 bb)
    SB: $12.65 (126.5 bb)
    BB: $10 (100 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is BTN with A 5 A Q
    UTG calls $0.10, MP folds, CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.55, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.45, CO folds

    Flop: ($1.35) 8 J 2 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $1, UTG raises to $4.35, Hero folds

    Spoiler:
    Results: $3.35 pot ($0.16 rake)
    Final Board: 8 J 2
    UTG mucked and won $3.19 ($1.64 net)
    Hero mucked A 5 A Q and lost (-$1.55 net)

    Super duper standard

    As far as exploitable goes, if your opponents are completely incapable of actively exploiting you, why worry?

    You mean at these limits?? Or does the situation not come up enough against the same opponents for it to matter?

    A bit of both imo, although I've mostly played on stars/ftp so the player pools are/were fairly huge and while it's obv gonna be profitable to pounce on this tendency, I don't think there are that many who are actually doing it w/o at least decent equity.

    I guess it might be an issue on merge if it's really reg heavy, I have never played there & it could be that it plays quite different.... if you check you db and it's the same dude like every time then something may be up

    It's not so much a matter of limits as opponents and their tendencies, but I think it would be fair to say that the % of villains capable of actually taking an observation ie. you seem to bet fold a ton having raised or 3b pre for example...actively doing something to exploit it (and giving you credit for bet/folding 'something' rather than just air @ a stake where many are stacking off realllly light) is prob small enough that you don't have to worry. Obv gonna fold the best hand some % but imo, better than getting it in as a really small fave vs something like pair or gutter + nfd or being completely crushed with negligible redraws.

    Preferable to be the one putting others in these spots, rather than being the one with something of a Hobson's choice.

    Fwiw, what would it take to reasonably check back AAxx here? I'd tend to chk it with something like a back door flush draw or a naked overpair + gutter, but almost always c-bet a hand like yours, figuring that it's super difficult to improve and/or get value past the flop. Might be thinking about this wrongly though. :S
