Default KJo Limp gone wrong, but then got interesting...

I didn't have any reads on these guys, but this is primarily an implied odds question, so I'm thinking that reads are irrelevant if you have a draw to the nuts.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Bumbling Fool is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Bumbling Fool calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Bumbling Fool caps</font>, UTG+1 calls $1 (All-In), MP3 calls.

I usually fold with this UTG, and this hand illustrates why. But, this table had been pretty passive preflop, so I felt I could limp safely here. So besides the limp...

The cap here was an unsuccesful attempt at getting HU against the raiser. Is my intuition correct here? I want to isolate with KJo because its best value is in spiking a pair. Consequently, I want to face as few opponents as possible? Or, does the fact that I may be dominated reduce me to just calling? I should have known that UTG+1 was going to call the cap if he had already raised from that position.

Flop: (13.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Bumbling Fool checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Bumbling Fool calls.

6 overs, 8-1 on my overs, 14-1 pot odds. Easy call, but no raise because I'm behind on equity and the third guy was all-in, so no reason to try to knock him out. But hypothetically, if he wasn't all-in, a raise still wouldn't be appropriate here because with a pot this size, no one's going anywhere anyway, right?

Turn: (7.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Bumbling Fool checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Bumbling Fool?

Here, I'm thinking that I'm 11-1 or so to make the gut shot. Currently getting 9-1 to call. But I figure the way this guy has been betting into me, I'll be able to check/raise the river if I connect and get the other 2 BB out of him to get my implied odds. So what do you guys do here?
