Should I have played this differently?

9 handed $50 NLHE
I'm UTG +3 with Ah Qh and $74.50, 3 limpers in front of me and I raise to $3.25 and 3 players call pot=$14.25. The flop comes 6d 9c As and 2 players check to me then I bet $7.00 and 1 player calls. The turn is the Qd and he checks to me again and I bet $18.00 at this $28.25 pot then he goes all-in for another $20.31 and I call then he turns over 99 for a set and the river is just the 3h. Was there anything I could've done to avoid this trap? Thanks for your opinions.

Nope. Not IMO anyways.

AK/AJ/AT/A9/A6 will all stack here too; no getting away from this one.

Thanks but why would AJ/AT stack here?

Wrote that kind of fast and didn't think; AJ/AT probably won't stack unless they're very aggro players or think they have a read on you.

Regardless, my point was that there are enough hands that you have beat that take his same line that you have to make this call here.

Oh ya no prob, I figured you prolly just slipped those ones out off the top of your head thinkin too fast or somethin but thanks for clearin it up and also as always thanks for the advice.
