AJo - easy fold preflop here?

[yecul]

I agree that you should drop this hand. I wouldn't fear UTG as much as the SB. When players check/cap pf like that it can be dominance or mediocre hands, often the latter when you know it's a fish. I bet he expected you to bet and wanted to get it over with.

Even if you do hit your A, can you play it aggressive with the thought of AK, AQ, or AA dancing in your head? I like the fold here.
