10NL Boss. Roughly 100BB stacks all around

I get dealt AA in the SB.

3 limpers when it gets to me. I raise to $0.70. BB calls, CO calls, rest fold.

Pot ~$2.50. 3 players.
Flop KTQ rainbow.

I bet $1.90 (what would you have done here?). Both call.

Pot $8.20. I have $7 left at this point. BB has a little more (maybe $10), CO has $8 left.

Turn is A, completes rainbow.

This is either a push or check/fold. I don't quite have the odds to chase the FH-- 3.6:1 to fill up and I'm getting 3.1:1 if they both call. Does the possibility that I'm just up against 2 pair make up the odds to make this an ok push?

 You played it fine preflop and on the flop.
The fact that both call is wierd, you expect most none J hands to either raise or fold.
I check the turn, and see the action, I think I am calling one AI but not 2

Why only call one and not 2 pushes? Anyone that pushes has the straight already (maybe they both hold a J), so we're going to need to hit our FH to make this hand worthwile. And if we do river one of our 10 outs, why not get paid 3:1 instead of 2:1?

 I would say at this level somebody pushing is about 50% likely to hold a J and about 50% likely to hold 2 pair or a lower set
