Default AA fold here?

This is the nightmare flop for AA. Thoughts? Nothing of note on villian, seemed rational.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

UTG ($1.90)
Hero ($27.85)
CO ($42.15)
Button ($13.80)
SB ($26.85)
BB ($1.60)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.35. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.5</font>, CO (poster) calls $1.25, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls $1.25.

Flop: ($4.95) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets .4 Hero raises to $3.4</font>, CO Pushes, Hero folds.

Turn: ($8.35) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: ($8.35) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $8.35

If villain is unknown then calling isn't such a bad idea. He could easily be making this play a-8 of clubs, 7-8, and at this level people will make this play with 10-10 thru k-k as well.

At PP 25NL it is hard to fold a-a after the flop and have it be the right decision enough for the fold to be correct.

I call and probably lose more than I win, but win enough for it to be slightly +EV

I think that's a pretty easy fold without a strong read. FWIW, I'd probably raise a little more on the flop (I'd make it $5), but either way I'm not in love with an overpair when he pushes against a bet/raise.

Yea, my dad was watching me play cause he wants to learn the game, so I didnt wanna show him bad plays etc. Villian had 77, and MHIG. Oh well. Way to coordinated to call that all in.

Now, maybe this is a little more credit than I should give to CO, but any chance he's pushing you off with a wider range because of the sidepot? I mean, if you fold, he's freerolling for the main pot with UTG who could have anything. I'd call.
