$5/5 $300-1500

Villain in UTG (~$2000)
Old Asian man, not gambol, pretty TAG for the most part. No real history with V.

Hero in LJ (~320)
Just spewed a **** ton of money about 15 minutes ago (view my other AQo thread)

OTTH

UTG(V) makes it 25, UTG +1 calls, MP calls, hero calls in LJ with AQ, BTN calls

Flop ($130)
T8T

Checks around

Turn ($130)
A

V makes it 45, UTG+1 calls, hero calls

River ($265)
J

V makes it $55, hero calls

I will sometimes raise pre flop since I don't typically like playing AQ multi way, but is a call here okay? UTG+1 is very aggro and plays almost anything and there was a Russian aggro behind me to act so I wasn't sure if I wanted to bloat the pot in LJ. Do we raise turn here?

I think you played the hand fine. Honestly, I don"t expect to be good here OTR very often, but would likely "Lol pot odds" call. When asian man raises pre from UTG, check the flop and then bets into an ace OTT and OTR, you are likely against a range of AK-A9.

I never like calling behind there, if this old asian is a tight player (you said not gambol that sounds like he's a tight player) I'm folding it pf. If he's wide there and there was only one other caller, I would 3bet to 100. I don't like squeezing with three callers anyway unless there were fish and stations in the mix and AQo does not play well in a multiway pot.

as played, villains river sizing is begging you to call. I think he's better than AK like he flopped f/u or trips hence the flop check.

While the absolute value of your hand is strong, with 64 bbs eff and a pretty tight raiser in EP I think folding pre is best. I think you are more likely to lose your short stack when behind, while winning a smaller pot the times you flop good. Other option is 3-bet pre and shove all flops, but vs. this raiser I'd opt to fold. Calling is the least optimal imho.

As played, I would have folded river. What hands are we beating when this type of opponent bets both turn and river?

Raise or fold preflop. Your 64BB is a bit of an illusion at 5/5, your effectively shorter because of the blinds and close to being short stacked. Against a tight EP raiser you need to decide if his range has enough pairs that your willing to stack off if you catch one pair or not. If you think is range is tight enough that you don't want to stack off with TP then fold, if not then raise so you have some FE (both now and on the flop).

As played, I call turn and fold river. There is just nothing you beat by river that a tight player is opening in EP. He isn't opening A9- or 99- often enough to call even given 5-1 odds. With a better read on villain, I might fold turn and I might call river. Against a generic villain I expect the most common line is taking a single stab on turn after flop checks around with anything he opens, but giving up on river if he doesn't have the ace.
