Default TPTK v unknown turn raise

I started today with energy and hope (and the plan to play tighter than ever and try and get back on track). After 450 hands at 15/8 I'm stuck 30 BB and pissed off. So maybe this hand is standard, and maybe it's not, I just don't know.

I raise UTG with AdKx, and get called in MP by an unknown. I have 2 hands on him. Flop is AcQd9d, I bet, he raises, I three-bet, he calls.

Turn is a 2s, I bet and he raises...

It's going to cost me two more bets to see a SD. Who goes there? Everyone?

EDIT to add: Party 2/4 BBJP table

EDIT 2: AKo

I think I can call down here, but you aren't going to win very often. He could be on Axd. Plus you have outs against both AQ and A9.

You have the nut draw on the turn how are you even thinking about folding? IMO the choice here is between calling down UI and 3-betting the turn. Basically a 3-bet can't be that bad as we likely have a ton of outs when behind and since we are against an unknown we are probably ahead here a fair amount as well.

You're obviously not going to fold the nut flush draw to his turn raise, so the only question is whether or not to call a bet UI on the river. I would...I think you get shown an overplayed medium/low ace or busted draw often enough to make the call worthwhile.

Even if you didn't have the flush draw, I'd call down. You're going to see a lot of poor players take this same line with a hand like A2, A9, Q9 (all of which you have hidden outs against), etc...to say nothing of semibluff raises with something like JT.

You also have outs against Q9, A2, and you're drawing dead against a set. She could also have a straight and flush draw. BTW, she can't have Axd. You have the Ad.

You are getting 4:1 for a call down, so it's very marginal. I just don't lay down TPTK a lot in these situations.

Since your unknown opponent seems to be pretty agressive, A9 is somewhat of an unlikely hand for him to cold call a UTG raise with. AQ is also somewhat unlikely because he almost has to cap the flop on that board and he didnt. So he most likely has AK, AJs, or a set of 9's. Only one of these likely possibilities scares you. I three bet or at the very least turn passive and call him down.
