how often have you seen this. Villian min raises in EP you have a good hand like AK so u want to isolate and therefor you have to raise so you end up re-raising like 8xBB or something thing. the flop falls and hits no one lets say it hits a K, you C-bet and villian goes all in.

Does he have AA, KK?

this scenario has happened a few times to me. sometimes I miss the flop and the fold is easy, sometimes I hit it and folding is hard. Do I fold?

It's not all that unusual that people minraise small pocket pairs from early position in my opinion, AA and KK are also pretty common.

In the situation you describe I fold almost all the time if I don't have a read that tells me something else. It will be a set or a monster pair way to often to make a profitable call. I mean, how often will he show you KQ or KJ?
