Frst-time poster, long-time lurker
Looking forward to getting some input from the many skilled players around here (and catching some flak as well lol).
Had a hand where I played super-loose pre (Fold PRE, I know, I know) and got into an interesting spot, wanted thoughts on the post-flop spot.
Playing in a 5/5 PLO/BigO Mix game that frequently has a straddle so is playing as a 5/5/10 mostly. Game is pretty passive pre-flop, most raises pre are absolute monsters (AAxx or AKJ10 in PLO, A23xx or AAxxx whatever in BigO), but I've seen some people over-value hands like AAKK7 during BigO already. There are a few gamblers there for sure, especially the guy to my right who I've seen over-value marginal hands and call very loose pre even when OOP.
Bought in for $1K total, stack is around $850 at the moment (was down to $600 running like ass but caught a few nice hands right before this and won a few pots to get some momentum going after being card-dead for an hour, which is probably why I chose to call Pre).

Table is pretty friendly (lot of regulars that know each other), guy to my left convinces me to straddle because most of the table is doing it and I'm a sucker that is easy to convince apparently.
Hero is in the straddle and is dealt 2

Folds to the Button who opens for $40, SB calls, BB Calls, and I call (typically I would fold this pre since it's marginal, but for some reason I just felt like getting saucy in a multi-way pot as the last caller...right after I called I even told myself "that was too loose, you need to tighten up." But the **** happened, so now I've got to play the hand!).
They all cover me (Button has $2500, SB $1500, BB $1000+).
Flop is A

SB checks, BB (guy to my right who likes to gamble) leads for $125, I flat with the nut-low + the wrap (though not the best one, could've used the 7 instead of the 6 there, but at least I have a blocker on a full-house if CO does have AA).
CO thinks for a few seconds and bets $600, SB folds, BB thinks for 10 seconds then goes all-in for $1K+
At this point there is $2K in the pot (that I could win) and I've put in $165 which is like 20% of my stack. Now I have to put in the last $685 to go All-In (getting 3:1 to stack off).
Read on Button is he definitely has AA, but I have no clue what BB could be doing this with (could be something like 444566, could be A66XX, could be the other 24 though that seems like a bold move to lead out from the SB with the nut-low when you know the CO is going to CB with AA on that board).
Is this an automatic ship as played on this flop?
***To reiterate - I know the ultimate answer to this situation is Fold Pre to avoid these spots where you have low equity and need to outdraw multiple opponents OOP***
