This hand took place in a 2/5 game at Maryland Live on a Thursday evening. Max buy-in is $600.
Hero: Mid-20's guy playing for the first time here (in the area for business and had a free night so I decided to check the place out). I'm playing very aggressive and have been caught bluffing a few times. However, I haven't made any huge mistakes and have shown down two huge winners in back to back hands within the last hour. I have the second biggest stack at the table and should be considered a strong LAG or TAG.
Villain: Late 20's to early 30's with headphones, sunglasses, and a hat. Every single dealer and a lot of other players know this guy so he is clearly a reg/maybe pro. I believe he has been playing pretty straightforward TAG poker but we haven't been in any significant pots. He recently spiked Aces full of Queens on the river against a flopped nut flush. Stacked the guy after going AI on the river.

Hero (UTG) limps for $5, fold, UTG+2 raises to $20, folds to Villain (button) who calls $20, folds to Hero who raises to $80, UTG+2 folds, villain calls $60 more.
I limped UTG with AA because this table has been a calling festival. I didn't want to make it $20 and get 3-4 callers and be out of position against the entire table with Aces. I was pretty sure someone would bet and then I would come over the top with a strong RR to hopefully isolate OR get someone to make a 4-bet mistake thinking I was stealing (obviously not as likely because I'm UTG, but still).
Flop ($187) Q
7
4
Hero bets $150, villain thinks about it for maybe a minute or two and goes all-in... I have $970 remaining.
I pretty much ruled out 77 and 44 because this guy is too good to go set-mining. Queens is obviously a possibility here but I'm skeptical because I think he would've raised the $20 or 4-bet. AQ and KQ are clearly in play along with a plethora of flush-draws, which is what I thought was most likely. My big struggle here is the gigantic overbet - do I really want to risk an additional 194 BB's with AA? Especially considering it's quite possible villain has QQ.
Do you fold AA in this spot? What do you think of my pre-flop logic? Should I have checked the flop to induce a bet so I could re-raise? Let me know your thoughts and thanks for the help! I will post the spoiler after (hopefully) receiving some solid replies.
