Default 400NL : fold AA on scary board, very loose aggressive

Very loose aggressive 400 NL (6 max) table. People open raise with any two, always continuation-bet, and frequent re-raise bluffs and resteals.

I get AA in early position and figure I'll win huge with all this action. I make the standard raise to $15. CO calls as do both blinds. Unusual to have so many callers at this table, usually only one.

Pot $60
Flop 7c8h9h

SB checks, BB bets $40
I raise to $140
SB raises allin (about $400 total)
BB folds
I think a long time and fold

I'm thinking maybe this should have been a call, particularly because of the table character with so much aggression and bluffing. On the other hand, there's a bet and big raise on the flop and this guy still pushes, so he must have a set, straight or at least two pair? If I call I'm hoping to see a flush draw.

I hate the flop raise. Let's him push his big draw and make you fold the best hand and shoves the money in fast when he has a monster.

Are you saying to not raise (just call), or to raise more, or just to push instead of raising?

So if you're not raising on the flop, are you just calling down small bets? Are you folding if any straight or flush draw cards come? At this table with all the aggression, I think you really have to decide on the flop what hands you want to show down and be ready to get all-in with them.
