can I fold aces?

When this hand happened I had no reads on the villain. He later turned out to be fairly loose, calling a half-stack PF all-in ($12) with A9o, making me question whether I was stupid to have folded aces. At the time I made the laydown, though, I felt like a hero and was genuinely pleased with my restraint. Against your average 25NL player without reads, do you guys give him the set or not?
