This spot is quite annoying but I think there's no value in calling here vs someone with such a low AF. You are looking at sets, combo draws and two pair here almost always, and vs that range, even with those pot odds, calling is -EV.
But why do you raise to only 5BB preflop from the blinds when there are already 3 people who called? AA is not a hand you want to play vs 3 other people OOP, and the same goes for any other hand which you want to raise in this spot. Your preflop raise size could be quite a bit larger to something like 7-8BB which will make the hand much easier to play, and does not give the other players such great odds to see a flop in position.
My standard raise amount is: 3bb + 1bb per limper + 1bb in EP
I don't always stick to that but it's what I raise preflop most of the time. I think it's a leak of mine where i'm afraid my aces won't get any action so I don't raise as much as I should. Thank you for bringing it to light.
I was pretty sure this was a fold but couldn't bring myself to do it here. Another leak...
