This is pretty close. A lot depends on the looseness of the others, especially the big stacks.

Fold.

You're in third chip position, you're UTG, you have a marginal holding, and you have almost 9 BB's left in your stack to hold out for a better time to pick up chips. Obviously, if you were on the button, or maybe even CO -- this would be a good push. Or, if the blinds were 150/300, this would be a good push. But under these game conditions, folding is the thing to do.

Yup, good fold. I think its close, but the blinds aren't quite worth the risk of pushing UTG at this point with a vulnerable hand like A9o.
