Default BB with a weak Axo facing a raise HU (situation 102a)

This is a really common situation I keep running into, and with hands like K8 to some extent as well. I'm in the BB with a hand like A2-A9o. Folded to UTG/UTG+1/HJ who raises, every one else folds to me in the BB.

In a 10-handed game I fold this every time (SSH says something like "the likelihood of domination is so great you can't profitably call for even 1 bet). In 6-max though the strength of the hand of a UTG/UTG+1/UTG+2 hand isn't as strong.

What do people do in this situation? Against tight rocks, I give them credit, but most people raise enough PF in 6-max it's not clear where I stand with the weak ace.

I havent played enough to know what to do but I would say reriase AT+, KJ+, 77+, and call the small pairs tand evaluate the flop.

Should the smallest pairs ever be folded HU or are they worth going to the river if the board doesnt contain more than one T+ card?
