Preflop Scenario (hypothetical)

that's not true. if he only raises w/ AA, KK, AK, and QQ it's still correct to fold.

add JJ, 10 to his list of raising standards and I still think it might be correct to fold if he is a good post flop player.

flop has an A:
he has AA = you lose a big pot
he has AK = split
he has KK, QQ, JJ, 10's = you win small pot

flop has a K:
he has AA = you lose big pot
he has KK = you lose big pot
he has AK = duh
he has QQ, JJ, 10's = you get the point

Of course they are numerous other flops and scenarios, but I just don't think you make money in the long run if play AK heads up against a UTG raise from a solid player who plays well post flop and who has position on you. If you can add AQ or a smaller pair like 99 or 88 to his UTG raising standards then I play.

I have no mathematical evidence to back this up, it's just my opinion.
