edit: BB cold callin pre and post leaves me totally baffled, he's 25/15... which should mean he's repping alot of strength, but why wouldn't he push AA/KK on that flop.... maybe he has JJ/QQ and wants me to bluff off rest of my stack? I know i should raise a big more preflop... but postflop, any real bet leaves me pot committed.

i don't think it's just the big blind that you have to worry about here. and being out of position against all three opponents sucks real hard on this board.

a half pot bet isn't going to protect your hand here -- it gives anyone who's interested 3:1 to continue in this monster pot. and against three opponents i'm not convinced my equity is high enough to commit myself (i.e. potting or pushing flop), so i check here and re-evaluate based on flop action and turn card.

Check/fold the flop. Open pushing is suicide.
