    Let me set this up the guy I was playing was playing alot of hands he
    was at 60/5. I thought he prob had a small pocket pair or maybe AQ AJ and would call a shove on the turn. He did but he had a set. How could I have played this better? Should I have raised more preflop? Checked the turn?

    Pf is marginal against a 60/5, except that we know he'll continue with every hand he opens UTG and I doubt he's positionally aware, so actually it's fine. Well, it should be 1BB larger because this is most-likely the worst hand in our 3bet range and we'd like to cut down implied-odds and build a bigger pot.

    Flop looks like a fold, you're beating AJ/AQ and that's about it and even then you're probably only a 3:2 favorite against that 2 hand range.

    Turn looks like a check-behind because it's tough for him to continue with a worse hand.

    His strong bet on the flop makes me believe he has a least a king. Fold.
