5-10NL live full-ring. UTG+1 TAG has $305, MP nit has $600, HERO covers both. My image is TAG with the occasional tricky play. UTG+1 raises to $40, MP calls $40, I am in the CO with AA. Raise to $100, call, call.

Pot = $315

Flop: 8 9 J rainbow

UTG+1 checks, MP checks. I put each player on a range of 99+ to AK, and am almost positive one flopped a set. Both players will always call with TT in their hand.

HERO?

Don't I want to play AA against those ranges? Is 4-bet to $100 too exploitable? What 4-bet makes most sense?

With at least 2 other players(BU and blinds yet to act), you want to charge them to see the flop for your big pockets in order to build a nice pot and isolate. Otherwise if everyone calls small raises and flop is drawy, there's too much in the pot for them to fold and they'll continue with their draws.

It's a 3bet, not a 4bet, and make it like 200 wTF?

What do you 4-bet to? Do the button and blinds call $100 with a large range with a TAG and nit left to act behind (these two players often fold with pocket pairs in a similar situation).

FWIW, I shoved on the flop and was called by both. UTG+1 had 99, MP had TT. Given how this was played preflop, does it ever make sense to check flop?

Also, at this table, no player would 3-bet pre to $200 with anything worse than QQ+. The table is very tight. I guess the $100 3-bet pre was somewhat of a donk bet.

Theres a good chance one of them has 99 1010 jj . I would proly bet $ 200 here and if checked raised on the flop, I would call to a shorter stack, and fold to a larger stack.

With a STP ratio of 5:3 you have to push on the flop. You might be beat, but a push is definitely +EV. Anything less than a push looks suspicious so just get it in. Preflop is not horrible b/c of the smaller stack sizes but I like a raise to something like 150 since the chance of two folds is small, even at a tighter table. By raising to 100, you're laying odds of 4:1 (240:60) to both players. This is too much.....A raise to 150 will likely fold out one player, laying odds of about 2:1 (230:110).
