Help me stumble through this hand...

Posted in 3 parts as we progress. I wish I remember more about the board, but I am fairly confident it wasn't a big part of the hand.

Casino AZ 20/40

I have been playing overly loose even for me, and the two players in this hand know it more so than others. UTG+1 is poster Howard Beale, who has 3 bet me a few times preflop this session already, including when I raised with AQ, and he had AK, and I check called a 993 flop, and check folded a 3 turn, because I really didn't want to see two more bets go in hoping for a chop. Cut off is a loosish player who also gets aggressive early in hands, and ends up folding rivers a lot after putting in a lot of action, so it is safe to say he likes pumping up his draws, but he knows both Howard and I are winning players and a Howard 3 bet can't be much less than 99+ and AQ+ against my UTG raise.

So I open UTG with KK and Howard instantly 3 bets me, folded to LP and he thinks for a second and then caps, blinds fold, and both of us call.

Flop comes QTx, no suits, and I.....
