And you would be surprised, regardless of this hand, how often in these situations villains actually hold a strong pocket pair (or AKo-AJo) that draws for a flush.
if you want to add up deception in these kind of hands, just pfr in UTG bc is more likely that beginners call with suited connectors from the blinds ("since i already have one blind invested" - this is a very bad conception), or at least 3bet from the blinds with these kind of hands, if you feel weakness (since AQ-AT or Ax would fold 80% against very well timed 3bets).
about the villains' play, the pfr is newbish, but CO played it fair. had position and exploited you both with a decent hand that was made even better - i don't find it hard to believe he had Axs and drawn to nut-flush or maybe even a set and he just pulled out some profit from the noob in MP who tried to "protect" his hand (overpair or A9 if he is bad enough) with an invaluable bet.
