AA in a monster pot

very loose table but nobody is that aggressive except for preflop 3-better who is short stacked. Even then he is only LAG pre-flop, his post flop numbers are relatively tame.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button 3-bets, SB calls, 1 fold, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP2 calls, Hero caps, Button calls, SB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP2 calls.

Ok, 7 in for a preflop cap, i realize there is no way to protect this on the flop until the player to my right bets into me. Even then my raise won't knock anyone out but a three bet from the tilter to my left might. So I raise and he ends up three betting but it drives nobody away.

Flop: (29 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7 players)

I forgo the cap just because I was hoping to raise the player to my right's turn bet and maybe drive people out then, was this correct?

The player to my right is pretty passive and his bet set up my plan to raise but the flush card came. I figured I could raise here and in case nobody has the flush now but are still drawing to it on the river. His three bet tells me i'm probably drawing dead. Do I lay it down here?

How was my play up to this point?
