As for the results, basically congrats on running into one of the few players who is capable of triple barrelling and running into like one of the only busted draws he can have. Overall against the majority of the pool you're likely up against, I doubt you're going to be good enough of the time here.
ETA: I was in a somewhat similar situation a couple of sessions ago. I limp in AKo to reraise, only one other limper, and then a raise out of the blinds. We're about $300 effective, and I decide to flat (villain is unknown, but I'm facing a raise out-of-the-blinds, and I'm cool inviting a dominated Ace along and playing in position, meh?). Anyhoo, A93rAr2r runout, and I've called down to the river where he bets $100 into like $220 leaving about $120 behind. In the moment I convince myself this is a blocking bet with AQ enough of the time and shove, and get snap called by 99. Players at this level are super MUBSy; they are always seeing the worst and convinced we've flopped a set or have AK when they have AQ, etc. In general, they are not 4barrelling these types of boards with worse A's enough, imo.
