From his bets I believe he wants value. I raise from UTG so probably he will defend tighter. So I expect better aces and fullhouse from the flop. I dont expect him to play a flush draw this way mostly or some other pairs. Is this a tight fold? :/

I am at this level also and I think that you probably should have reraised him on the flop and see what he does. I think he could have a worse Ax than you. On the other hand I don't really fault you since you have 352 hands on this guy, maybe your mind has picked up on how he plays and were right in folding.

Pretty weird spot to raise. I mean, why would he raise Ax or 55? Still, I believe that guys on this limit are doing this mostly for value and will generally have a better hand than AJ there.

He has AK, AQ in his calling range. You can fold.

Well played. If you were in CO for example, then the play would be different. You are UTG so he is not 3betting bigger aces pre-flop and folding is fine.
