8/16 at Hustler. Fishy table. (Later on, I had QQ, the only other good player had JJ, and we capped the pot pre-flop and got beat by someone who called 4 bets pre-flop with 74 suited, hit a 7 on the flop and another 7 on the turn.)
Hero is in the CO with Ah4h. UTG+1 raises, MP1 and MP2 call, I call, Button 3-bets, everyone calls.
Flop is T63, all hearts. Checks to button, who bets, SB, BB, UTG+1, MP1, and MP2 call, I raise, everyone calls.
Turn is 9c. Checks to me, I bet, button and UTG+1 call, everyone else folds.
River is 3d. Checks to me, I bet, button folds, UTG+1 raises, I call.
UTG+1 has 9s9d.
Now, obviously, that's a runner-runner bad beat. But what I blew, I think, is that I should have led out on the flop in the hopes that button raises me. Perhaps that protects my hand better by forcing UTG+1 to call with his underpair?
(In reality, UTG+1 was a fish who was married to his pocket pair and was probably calling no matter what. But I am talking about what the correct strategy is here.)

You played it fine. Don't worry about protecting the nuts on the flop. Your concern on the flop, which you executed perfectly, is building the pot in spite of the potential for suckouts. They're unavoidable in this situation...shrug and move on.
If opp is truly a bad player, you could re-raise the river and call one bet back to you. I can see A3 and lower flushes play the same line.

HELL NO!!! dont 2nd guess what you did here. you had great relative position if you felt BTN was going to fire that flop.
what you needed was someone to raise/3b somewhere so you could really jam that pot. you did the best you could and took a run/run boat on the chin. its rare, but you know as much as me it happens.
be glad you only called his raise, i may 3! that sometimes. but, on a smaller limit live table, they only raise there when they arent afraid of the flush.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
