Default Re: huge pot, protect Q split pair, A kicker on flop

Thanks for all the input. Yup, I should have capped preflop.

And I re-raised the flop, for protection and value

I was fearing an AA, KK, and am more of in a call down mode when faced with the UTG+1 donk on the turn. Raising won't protect my hand here, and I don't want to spew too much if I'm behind. Prefer to call and see the action behind. But now I'm facing 2 bets when UTG+1 re-raises... Chances are that my Q outs are tainted, as it might give someone a boat, and any A that falls will give someone a set of As.

What will you do?
