AQo trouble on the flop

No specific reads on any of the oppenents in this hand, unfortunately

Absolute Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, MP1 3-bets, Hero... ?

What action do I take here? Its a very drawless board and the checkraise by MP1 has me worried. Any comments would be appreciated.

Cap, lead the turn. Donkeys, all of them!

Seriously, this is what I'd do.

Well, I'm guessing from the lack of responses that capping the flop was the obvious play. How did I play the rest of the hand?

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, MP1 3-bets, Hero caps, BB folds, MP1 calls.

Turn: (8.25 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero raises, MP1 calls.

River: (12.25 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 14.25 BB

After capping, MP1 still leads, should I have folded, called, or raised as I did in the hand?

I don't think i've ever had a hand where I flopped an ace with AK/AQ and got c/r by two ppl on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd probably cap the flop. Once you hit the Q, you are in for the showdown, if they have 88, so be it.

I like how you played this hand. After seeing the turn action, strongly suspect that you might have been up against A8.

I guess the only thing that worried me at the time was that two players essentially check raised me. When I bet after they checked then BB raised and MP1 3-bet, I figured I was more likely up against a set. I was seing this down no matter what since on the turn there was a better chance I had the best hand with a 4 outer to a full house. I just wasn't sure if I should've called the turn after being bet into again or raised as I did. I have been trying to take a little aggression off my game lately since I have this problem of always thinking someone is putting a move on me when most of the time its because I'm up against a better hand. This was a hand that I thought maybe I showed too much aggression.
