Getting away from hands (Folding)

Dear All, 

I don't normally post much on the forum but I would like some advice as I've been in similar spots before. Please see template below:

* Table type: MTT 
 * No. of players at table: 6
 * Player types: Loose (Villain called my Aks 4x raise oop with q7 spiked 7) prior to this hand 
 * Stack sizes of the relevant players: Villain about 18k, me about 8k after AK loss 
 * Blinds/antes: 50/100 iirc
 * Details on this hand:

Fairly simple, folded around to V in small blind me in big. I hold A3o. Flop comes A A 5 rainbow. Check, check. 

Turn is a brick, something like 9d.  He leads out quarter to half pot I call. At this point for some reason I'm beginning to suspect that I am behind and that he has the case ace in the deck. It's happened to me before but I couldn't bring myself to fold. 

Anyway, the river is 10c he shoves I call he shows A10o. Busto. 

It's my fault as I had a feeling he had the other remaining ace and if I were in a better mindset I would of given folding a lot more thought. But, I think the previous hand had influence plus I was hoping to reclaim some of the chips I had donated... 

So.. The question is how can you lay down a raggy set when mathematically it's unlikely (probably in most occasions) that your up against the case A set?

Any comments would be appreciated. 

Muchos Gracias

    Think the more relevant question is whether you're likely to be up against a better hand when facing a 20x pot river shove.

    No raise pre and yes, it's the shove reraise. As I said I thought I was behind (well, had an inkling) on the turn but didn't put him on an ace as no raise pre. I guess the question is at what point to lay it down.. After thinking it's probably after being raised on the river, what can I beat..?
