I wouldn't raise so big preflop. Besides that, i think you played it fine. Nice hand . If you open a wide range of hands i would use 2x or 2,5x opens. Not 3x / 3,5x.

Quick disclaimer - can't see the suits of the cards on my computer so don't have all the information.

Pre-flop - agree raise is a little too big. 2.5 - 3BB is good here.

Flop - you have middle pair on an A high board (plus a gutshot) with 2 pre-flop callers to act behind you each of whom has lots of Ax hands in their range. Not sure I like the c-bet in this spot but if you do c-bet it needs to be larger than 1/4 of the pot. I would be inclined to c/c here and re-assess on the turn. As played am ok with calling the villain raise.

Turn - happy with hero check as you would generally expect the villain to continue with their aggression. Surprising that they don't but as we now know their hand they were obviously trying to trap!

River - understand the small value bet given villain turn check but they do you a huge favour by jamming.

Summary - I would have played it a bit different but would hopefully have got the same result.

Just wondering what the plan is when the turn bricks and villain bets say half pot? Just check fold?

I too can't see suits of any cards although I am guessing there is no flush draw on the flop due to our straight flush only being K high.
