You have to raise bigger preflop. These guys have no fold button so you have to make them look for it. Prob you should raise to about 1200 or so. When you raise to 880 utg is getting good odds to call with anything he has. For the others it is getting better and better.
As played I like the fold on the flop.

You have 60bb. I find it too much to shove pre. They might call with some small PP and you are flipping for your stack early. It is better to raise big and Cbet good flop I think.

realy 60bb, is more like 30 bb efective stacks in mine eyes, only btn has hero cover but i dont see btn as a big stack limping behind 2 players on btn with a hand that he will call a shove for 1/2 his stack

I tend to agree with this but it is a 1$ so they might do a lot of crazy stuff. Against the 30bb stacks I would get it in instantly with AK.

Just shoving is clearly an option, but this depends on your style and your comfort level with such moves. I propose you start experimenting with such unconventional moves and collect your own experiences since it can be a nice weapon.

You can and probably should raise larger preflop to avoid multiway pots. As played I dont see any other option but check/fold the flop.
