Huge (for me) live hand w/ A3KK Huge (for me) live hand w/ A3KK

Late in the night in my 0.5/0.5 game. I don't remember exact cards but I'll try to capture it as best I can.

I'm sitting with about 600 and the relevant villain has about 300. I'd been running very hot and villain seemed solid (relative to this group of players, all of whom are new to the game including me).

Loose passive donkish game. We're 9 handed.

I'm in MP. There's 4 or 5 limps and I look down at A3KK I think single suited. I raise pot and get called in 7 spots.

Pot $30
Flop 862 sorry I don't remember exacts suits but let's say there was a flush draw and I didn't have it.

SB leads for 15. 4 calls.

Pot $105
Hero?

Spoiler:
I pot. SB calls, the rest fold. Turn 7. He checks I jam all in. River 7. I table my hand and scoop. I have to assume he had A486 but I really don't know.
Maybe A4 and a flush draw or A4QQ. I ask him later and he won't tell me just says the pot got too big and he couldn't fold /shrug

Did I overplay this and get lucky? I probably wouldn't play it this fast now that I have some more experience in PLO8 but at the time it felt like a monster and I wanted to push the hand.

If villain is solid I prefer just calling. Jamming isn't awful but we don't want to fold out worse hands. Also we can get away from our hand if an a or 3 weakens our lo.

You overplayed and got lucky, but was a fine line. I probably do it the sane way.
