Default Probably standard play for a flopped pair of aces

Inter Hold'em NL ($0.25/$0.50) full ring

This isn't too difficult of a hand, but I'd like to see what the SSNL forum thinks of how I play when I flop top pair against a weak opponent. Lately, I've been playing a few $50 games (and playing tighter, too), up from my normal $25's, and I'd like to make sure my fundamentals are good.

My opponent 27/5 over 37 hands. It's a small sample size, but he seems rather loose/passive from my observation as well.

Seat 1: SITOUT1 sits out
Seat 2: BB ($37.31 in chips)
Seat 3: SITOUT2 sits out
Seat 4: KING ($60.20 in chips)
Seat 5: UTG+1 ($57.65 in chips)
Seat 6: MP($86.80 in chips)
Seat 7: MP2 ($17.31 in chips)
Seat 8: LP ($77.55 in chips)
Seat 9: CO ($60.74 in chips)
Seat 10: SB ($57.40 in chips)
SB: posts small blind $0.25
BB: posts big blind $0.50

I check behind the river with only top pair. I only see better hands calling a third barrel.

You say you have tightened up, and yet you're raising ATo utg in a full game? This could get you into trouble. I'm all for having loose preflop standards, but not usually utg for a 4bb raise.

As for the action, I think its ok, but I don't see too much value coming from your river bet. I check behind there a lot.

The only thing I would change is not playing A10 offsuit under the gun in a full ring game you are not experienced in.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I thought I might get taken to the woodshed for my pf hand selection.

What do you suggest for my ATo UTG? Limping? Folding?

Would it justify things much to say that I find Inter NL50 to be very weak/tight more often than not, especially when they were running their $10 for a wired pair of aces promotion? I think the NL25 games, on average, have more action. I two-table, and usually one table is NL25 just because I can't find two good NL50s.
