I think folding is fine, but why do people say this all the time?

he must have a made hand

What is a made hand? This term is rediculous a hand will win a certain percentage of the time regardless if it is "made" or not.

I get what you mean, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think I'm beaten, likely with a pocket pair.

The way that he played this is EXACTLY the way I play AA and KK, especially up against an UTG raise.

thanks for the replies all.

Call, see a flop. If you hit, push. If you miss, check/fold. It's still so early and you have the chips to call the raise.

But you have 1160 chips already, so--- I would call.

I think everyone knows my stance on this situation. Call if you are confident of your post-flop skills, otherwise push.

Luckily, the fact that you have AK cuts down on his chances of having either of these hands. You have enough chips and are getting a good enough price so that I think calling and taking a flop is a good play. You can get away from the hand if the flop isn't favorible for you, but you stand to gain some chips if it is.
