I don't think you should fold the turn.

I think you have to call the 3-bet here.

On the turn, a raise is often Tx (raising a scare card), or a standard turn c/r with Qx. So I think you should call down from there UI.
I don't like the river raise either, but I think you should call the 3-bet looking for KT or KQ.

Hell, the guy could even have KJ. I'm with the camp though...just call the river. If you raise, I think you've got to call the 3-bet.

Your hand is too strong to be folded on any street.

Like you, I am always inclined to always raise that river.
But that is probably a leak of mine.

Call down.
But don't fold.

Don't raise this river. More hands that beat you will call then hands that don't. Plus these hands will usually raise, costing you another bet.
