I am just curious what everyone's default is for ATo UTG in full ring. limp or fold?

Easy fold.

folding > raising > limping

Well AJ off suit is better, but really, if you play it expertly postflop, it probably won't make that much money for you anyway.

The problem with it, hands that will reraise you put you in awful shape. A lot of flops you hit will put you in awful shape. And, because you are out of position, you will both have a difficult figuring out where you are and controlling the pot size.

so folding is default, with the occasional raise mixed in to mix things up?

If this a full ten table, I think you can leave it out all together. I don't think there is benifit to mixing up your play in this way. If you were going to raise a wider range up front to disguise your monster hands, I would be more inclined to raise hands like 89s than AJ offsuited.
