Default ($60) AK vs UTG-raiser plus caller

This is a spot I hate so badly it makes me sick. No reads on UTG. MP1 (the caller) is Str8$$$Homey, I don't really know how he plays but he's good and usually plays higher, but you probably know that. What type of hands would he call with?

I'm pretty sure I played this horrible, so what's the best line?

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t150</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls t150 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t225)</font>, Hero calls t150 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t375)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises all-in t1505</font>, 5 folds, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: t1355 returned to CO.

Results:
Final pot: t675

Barf...I don't really see villain doesn this with AA or KK (raise to 500 probably more likely) so you are probably a flip, but I could be wrong. Having said that I usually find myself folding in your situation.

Ok, but what I'm more interested in is the my first decision when I call the raise from UTG. What's the best line there?

Why isn't pushing the first time round not the standard play?
