I don't like Options #1 or #2 either, but taking Option #3 (raising, not all-in) does give you a chance to learn more about yr opponent's holding preflop (and thus perhaps have more info to help you get away afterwards). Hard to imagine pulling that off tho', esp. for an amateur like me. I probably bubble here, too, although I suppose it is possible not to.
