You must raise here to protect your hand. You don't want the UTG drawing to hand that can possibly beat you.

What hands do you think UTG has that hero wants to fold?

JT, J9, T9?

I dont think he has those.

He might have a few flush draws like AQcc and A8cc.

Protection your hand here is not that important


@ OP

Would you consider calling turn and raise a non A or Q river?

I think thats what I would do.

Since the pot is big, Hero wants UTG to fold any hand that can possibly beat him. He doesn't need to worry about getting more value from the UTG, his concern at this point should be doing everything possible to increase his chances of winning the pot.

Now if the board has two Queens and the SB donked, I be more inclined to go with a passive line, since it's very possible we're behind. On this board texture, I think Hero is ahead enough to confidently raise.
