Very loose 0,5/1 action...lots of limpers and big multiway pots.
Hero is in MP: Q  Q 
UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, Folds, Hero raises, folds, SB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.
Flop: Q  A 2
Checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero...?

Call. Raising gets you no added value in this spot, and you don't need to defend against anything unless your opponents have AA or KJ/KT. Raise the turn if UTG folds. If UTG calls... it depends.

Oh, and if UTG or UTG+1 re-raises, take a while to "think" about calling. This is pretty much an non-drawing board and you don't want to call/raise fast here. Dead givaway.

on the flop you have to call. You don't want to give away your strength yet , you might get someone after you to raise - which is gold. But basically right now - the flop - the bets are only small bets , so you don't want to jam the pot just yet.

Call and wait until the turn or river to raise.

Call and then for sure wait to the river to raise. Unless you see a flush forming then raise or push. Don't let him get to many free or cheap cards.

It's limit. He can't "push."
Also, I hate waiting till the river to raise in limit. Call the flop, raise the turn. The board isn't draw-heavy, but you raised preflop, and with the AQ on board you're not getting paid off by many hands here anyway.
If he's got something, you'll get your money on the turn while he still has hope. If he doesn't, I don't think he'll bet the river a third time with nothing.

I agree, in limit, make your raise on the turn, that way if he's got a draw, he will peel off a card, he will just check/fold or bet/fold on the river if he's got nothing.

call and let the turn card determine your next action. if it brings no draws, you can call to string along the field, if it brings a draw, you can jam it to protect.
