happens often, on the button or in the small blind with a small Ax... when it limps around, i usually fold but had to rethink after checking my tagged hands and noticing how many times id basically flop nuts and miss it for a blind or two in position... i dont like calling, i just dont think raising the a2o here is right and dont think folding is either so.. this time i call the limp, it gets raised - i fold. but someone else calls with a2... with worse pot odds than i had... albeit, it was suited but... with the better odds, is this a call instead of fold?

I don't like A2 to tell you the truth but in this situation I'd fold and let the others kill themselves.

I also think that this is an easy fold. Even though the victory in this hand went to UTG. On the flop, we had a very weak hand, worse, and you can not think up to call all in. A2 here is lucky, but at a distance this situation will be unprofitable.
