Default A-K flops top two and faces heat

$.10/$.25 NLHE (DOES ANYONE KNOW A BODOG HAND CONVERTER?!)

Hero holds A-K off in MP with around $25 behind.

UTG limps, UTG+2 limps, Hero raises to $1.25. Folded around to UTG, who minreraises to $2.50 (??????), UTG+2 folds. Hero calls.

Flop A-K-Q rainbow
UTG checks, Hero bets $3.50, UTG minraises to $7, Hero?
UTG and Hero have virtually even stacks (UTG has about $15 behind after this action)

Now UTG's line stinks of most likely a set here, but I don't have any solid reads here and haven't been at the table too long. I think the set is a safe assumption here, but I want some feedback. I'll post results later.

without stats I can't really say. I don't think I could put him on a set. I'd push.

also AA and KK are less likely since you're holding AK.

Ahhhhhhh, I'd probably shove, but I just know that wouldn't be the right play!

It stinks of a set, you're right there, I think you can rule out TJ, I honestly just dont know!

As weak as it is, I think this is a fold unfortunately! I think a call to peel off another A or K is obviously stupid. All that said, I'd probably still shove!!!

The thing is, some of these opponents are nuts to the point where an opponent would make this play with A-Q, even A-J and A-10. What really convinced me otherwise was this limping-minreraise business preflop. That just signaled a pretty big hand and villains aren't tricky to the point where they'd pull this with an A-10 type of hand. Though it's possible? Any more feedback?

do you have stats on him? would just a call be so bad here?

No stats, it was on Bodog.
And about the just calling, I really thought about all three options here: fold, call, or raise. I thought it was an interesting (though not so great) spot that I was put in so I wanted to hear some thoughts.

It sucks to say this, but you are beat.

Players at this level think they are tricky when they limp reraise PF, but they only do this with QQ+. He has a set of aces.

Fold.

AA KK QQ are likely. I'd fold if I were there myself.

Then again, I would have checked behind on the flop after he limp-reraised me. I never reward those kind of plays.
