Funky Final Table Spot
$150 Online MTT
We are on the final table with 8 players remaining. I am 3rd in chips at this point with about 70 bbs.
UTG+1 (chipleader - 88bb) opens 3bb, the BTN calls off of 45bb, and H looks down at A♦A♠ in the SB.
I make it 11bb and then, surprisingly, the Big Blind (2nd in chips - 80bb) smooth calls 11bb. UTG+1 also makes a fairly quick call, while the BTN gets out of the way.
FLOP (37bb)
K♥7♥6♠
Question #1: H? With SPR about 1.75 what sizing do we take 3 ways on this flop and do we ever consider check jamming?
If you want to write your answer to this without seeing the rest of the hand, do not open the spoiler which contains what happens next:

H cbets 13bb, BB jams covering both, UTG+1 calls quickly
H? with 46bb behind

I will typically lead out with 11 bb's (same as the preflop bet).
If both players call I will typically jam the turn if there is no heart or K. If only one player calls I would jam turn if its the shorter stack and sometimes I will bet 11 bb's again and then jam the river to make it look like we could have TT-QQ.
As to what actually happened it is a crazy spot but I do think we are behind a set. Still hard to fold. It is these situations where when I don't call and I would have won I tilt and don't go much further. My guess here is that UTG+1 has AK and BB has 77/66 but it could be KK. We block another AK so it is not very likely but still is possible...
