For me this is 50/50 between folding preflop and calling to play for set value.
As far as getting odds to call in order to make a set...you're paying 1450 into a pot of 4250 which is slightly less than 3:1. Doesn't sound overly lucrative to me. Obviously the implied odds are there, but I think there's better spots to put in 1/5 of your stack.
As far as check raising all-in on a baby flop...this just seems suicidal to me. Clearly at least one of these two have you beat preflop, I don't really see anyone folding AA or maybe not even KK on a 742 flop after someone called 1450 more. I think you have to dump unless you spike a queen, and that's if you see the flop at all.

Shorthanded against superaggressive players, you can't be sure queens aren't boss. We're not raising baby flops to try to push people off KK-AA, we're raising because we think we're ahead.

Disclaimer: I don't play this high.
