I am not sure I played any of streets accurately so I need your opinion on any of them

pre flop- should I call the 3-bet ?
I know the player and it's nothing but aces here. They may or may not be premium but we are playing against aces.
I have a pretty good hand but the problem is in order to outflop AA I pretty much need to flop a set or the nut flush draw
Should I call ?

flop- it's a low spr with pre flop agressor 1 and ultra low < 1 with the other two guys. And one of them has already acted.
Should I bet this or just check it ?
I am willing to go all in against the other two guys cause I will need less than 30 % equity for the push to be correct. And unless they flopped a set I think I will have that equity on average.
However I don't wanna get called by the blind and face the AA cause I am drawing almost dead
Any clear line ?

turn- 2 :diamond: is a great card for me giving me the nut flush draw
Based strictly on pot odds I think I have to fold.
I have only 8 clean outs for the flush
Most likely they are 9 ( the Q :diamond: is unlikely to beat me )
I probably have two 4s also and maybe the K :heart: is also live but maybe not

So Hero ?

One more thing to consider I haven't seen when I played the hand but I think about now when reviewing the hand.
We put the SB on AA for sure right ?
I have the A :diamond: .
So there are three AAA left and there is 2/3 chance that he holds the A :heart:
What is the chance that my opponent flopped the AA + nut flush draw and was just checking the flop that somebody bets it ?

28%.

Probably much lower chance. It would be a bad check, given the multiway action and the threat of Q9 to give straight draws. The hand that makes the most sense to me is AA with the A of hearts but no other heart. So now he checks the flop, and on the turn if another heart hits he can either bet out or check raise full pot.

Your play looks fine to me. If it weren't for the limited stack sizes and the two hearts on the flop, you might have had other options.

I think you have to fold to the 3 bet preflop, especially with holding an ace yourself. Now of course if villain is quite liberal with his 3 bets (and this is a good spot to squeeze with a lot of players in the pot, then 4 betting yourself is okay).
So you took the worst of the 3 options which was to call, of course it's full ring and a 3 bet is pretty much always aces...

Post flop play is pretty straight forward. You are never good here on the flop, especially multiway so check/folding is the only option, even with the best card in the deck hitting the turn for you, it still doesn't give you enough outs to stack off here.
