UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls 100, MP2 calls 100, HERO = ???

-->I'm really stuck with what to do in these types of situations. And they seem to happen a lot at this level.

-->I figured I had 4 options:
--->A. CALL
--->B. FOLD
--->C. Raise to 300
--->D. Shove

I opted for B. in the hand. I figured the problems for the other options were:

--->A. Limping into a pot, with a hand where I won't know where I stand if either the A or Q hits with multiple callers. AND showing weakness to Late P players.

--->C. Virtually commits me to a pot with many players behind yet to act, who may come over the top, basically forcing me to call, AND two limpers who may STILL call (it's $0.50 turbo...).

--->D. I think would've been my option had I not folded. However, I saw this as quite a volatile play and thought there would be better spots.

What do you guys think, and how might I play in similar scenarios in future?

Fist pump shove.  Don't even hate making it 300 to induce someone to go nuts with worse.  If you think they're all gonna flat then probably just shove.

Wha how can you even dream about folding? I'd be so so so so so happy to get this in

I agree with bitb

Shoving, we have the best hand the majority of the time and there is 350 chips to be won.
