Big Slick and I'm on the rail

[Sunbob]

I was playing on UB - my regular Saturday night private MTT. Nothing big, $3 - 29 started. I'm cruising along - in about 4th or 5th place out of 18 when I get sucked out JJ vs 44. A 4 falls on the river and now I'm hurting. A few hands later, now I'm in 12th place out of 16 when this hand comes up.

Just how badly did I play this? I'm still steaming - I suppose because it was the same guy that sucked out on me both times. I went from cruising into the final table to busting out 15th. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

I don't know if betting more preflop would have mattered. I normally bet 3XBB but was feeling "in between" - getting short but not so short I go all-in preflop. I guess I wanted to save a few chips and bet 2.5X BB instead. I don't think going all-in would have changed the outcome. Later, on the final table, Villian called an all-in preflop bet with A6 suited so I think he probably would have called any bet of mine.

Would a half to 3/4 pot bet on the flop maybe have saved me if he had come back on me? That would have been 1/2 to 3/4 of my stack. I think I'm in a fold or all-in position here.

I guess I'm just blowing off steam here but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think you played it well. Preflop raise is fine, and any smaller raise on flop will pot commit you

There is nothing you can do against players who calls all ins with a draw on flop and calls all ins preflop with 44, A-rag and the like.
