1/2 Live at the Venetian
Stack: ~$450. 8 handed. UTG straddles to $10. The main villain in this hand is the gambling type that seems like he's taking a break from pit games to see if he can run something up at PLO. He's been stacking off pretty light and being aggressive. I've been playing tightish, and villain probably thinks I'm nitty.
I'm UTG+2 with A

Preflop:
UTG+1 calls the $10 straddle. I pot to $60. Villain calls on the BTN. SB, UTG, UTG+1 call.
Given how aggressive the villain on the BTN is, should we have flatted here hoping to 3bet if the BTN raises and get most of our stack in pre with bad aces?
Flop: ($300) Q

Checks to me. I pot it. Villain calls. Everyone else folds.
Is it too thin to continue on this flop? We have the A
blocker and a gutter, but we are in a 5-way hand. At the same time, we know the villain on the BTN isn't gonna fold if he has any piece of this flop, and we're ahead of that range.
Turn: ($900) 7
I bet my remaining ~$90. Villain calls.
Any feedback is appreciated. I'm hoping to improve my game in multi-way pots because that's one of the biggest differences between live and online.
