RIVER: FOLD

Your behind on the Turn to a slowplayed K2 or A2, or to K3 or A3. These are the hands you would hope UTG had which would justify calling the Turn checkraise. However, you have to realize you might also be drawing to two outs versus slowplayed Pocket 2s, or less likely Pocket 3s.

Even less likely but possible is your drawing dead to a preflop limped AA, KK or AK preflop.

Anyway, fold the turn without improving.

Welcome to the forum.

Edit: After reading the thread, I realized you would be ahead of K3 on the turn. This is the only hand that you beat on the river though when the second two would give you a better two pair. Every other hand you lose to. I'd guess a river fold here is still slightly +EV.

Edit 2: A fold on the Turn wouldn't be such a bad idea either. You were getting insufficient pot odds to draw to five outs and only the implied odds made this call acceptable. However, that assumes all your five outs are clean. Since that is not likely to be the case, a TURN FOLD would be the better action here. The pot is just too small to justify continuing.
