I have the nuts - now what?

7.50/15 Borgata 7 handed - the game is pretty juiced up.
Hero is UTG with 8
6
Preflop: Hero raises, UTG+1 3-bets, MP cold calls, 1 fold, BTN caps!, SB takes four to the face, BB calls, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls, MP calls
Reads: UTG+1 has been 3-betting a VERY wide range, though mostly against a different player at the table (the MP cold caller in this hand - she just moved across the table). She is familiar with aggression but I would say she doesn't apply it well. I did not expect her to 3-bet often here as I have a tight-ish image (for this game).
MP is really bad and pretty much just a calling station.
BTN is estornudo. He sees the table dynamic (of many 3-bets) but there is almost NO chance he is cold capping super lightly here.
Blinds are standard old person loose passive bad.
Flop (24 SB): 9
7 5 (6 players)
SB checks, BB donks, Hero...

Nice flop fish. Jam it now! Hope the board comes running 97 diamonds and one makes quads and another makes the underfull. 
Raise?
[x] 6-way pot
[x] the nuts
[x] extremely vulnerable hand
Fold preflop fish.
Now just gas it. This is actually a flop where you don't mind clearing out a player or two, you want people with JTo to actually have to face a lot of bets (and the only way to do that is to raise and have them not know how often it's going to get 3-bet behind them), and you set up some really sick turn action by raising now. Realistically this is just a spot where you're going to have to hold on to your hat but you should be raising a good portion of your continuation range here, I think, given the game dynamics, board texture, and pot size.
