Default AQ in 15-30

utg +2 limps( no reads on him) and mp 2 limps(30/12/2.3), hero in co raises with AsQd, everybody else folds.

Flop Ah Ks 8h
Utg+2 checks, mp2 bets, hero raises, they call.

Turn Qh

Utg+2 checks, mp2 bets, hero??????
I feel I have way to much hand to fold, so which is my best option:

1. Raise and fold to a 3bet by utg+2
2. Raise and call if being 3bet by utg +2
3. Raise and fold to a 3bet by mp 2
4. Raise and call if being 3bet by mp2
5. Just call both turn and river

There's no way you can fold. How about you call the turn and raise the river, you're less likely to get 3-bet that way. It sucks when you raise the turn get 3 bet, call it down and you're no good but you can't fold.

The turn raise is forced, no other play could be right. Raise the turn and read your opp.

Why can't you raise the river there instead of the turn? If he has AJ or whatever he's paying it off and you make the same amount of money.

You have to get the other player out. The pot is too big to allow him to draw to a gut shot or a small heart.

I don't get it. Read what? Why is the raise forced?

The hero is most likely behind here to a flush. If that were the case, raising and having to possibly call re-raises is an expensive way to draw to your 4 full-house outs.

I would rather risk losing an extra bet when behind than just calling when I am ahead and letting UTG player draw out on me cheap.
