I agree with Station Master: your preflop raise should be 3x (or 4x depending on your game style and bankroll management) + 1x for every limper: ergo 3 + 5 = 8 blinds or 4 + 5 = 9 blinds. 
The reason behind our check OOP is that many players will limp using weak aces. Plus, we don’t have a monster hand that requires protection. And on top of that, even when we have very good equity, let’s suppose you raised JJ+ and AJs+, even in this scenario our equity reduces a lot for we have five players yet to speak and just one of them is OOP. 
You got lucky, we shouldn’t assume weak players would fold weak/dominated aces when playing NLHE 2: this is the sole reason they limp preflop, to go to a river with any ace, they don’t understand the game. We should go for value most of times and not expecting a limper will have a common sense to fold some hand postflop. 
You got lucky all villains fold, most likely they hadn’t any ace. If they had it you would get called and cry on the river.
