Don't you just make your standard raise to 2800, 2852 or 2999 here?  And why are you even looking at your cards?

Standard open is fine imo but folding can't be bad

I normally do a fold, with this kind of stack. It is just yuck when you get 3bet, going to need pretty good reads on the table to know whether to raise/call, raise/fold.

These spots are horrible as we never can quite bring ourselves to fold can we and then we go and get ourselves into a ton of trouble on an Axx board or similar.  Fold pre would be my advice and I wish I could follow it myself sometimes.

surely just opening and folding is the only line unless somehow you can find a reason to call when someone jams (not beyond the realms of possibility, but unlikely imo)

The table was really aggressive and I had been quite active. I thought I'd get 3bet loads. I didn't wanna raise fold but also didn't really like raise/getting it in with AJo. So I did a girly fold and felt all wrong inside.
