Default 55 close to bubble in FT $17,500...

I just lost a huge all in with AA vs. JJ and this was the only hand I've shown at the table other than a set of 9s and 1010 on a 882 board so my image should be pretty good. Preflop I thought I would take advantage of that image and try to pick up the blinds and antes. If I get callers I am done with the hand on most flops...

Full Tilt Poker Game #3480925617: $17,500 Guarantee (26073606), Table 16 - 600/1200 Ante 150 - No Limit Hold'em - 16:59:14 ET - 2007/09/06
Seat 1: klosecall (49,941)
Seat 2: WallyWorld33 (27,830)
Seat 3: callmynuts03 (8,956)
Seat 4: Raysel (33,200)
Seat 5: PayMyRent (28,326)
Seat 6: johnitabriz (50,380)
Seat 7: cayman77 (7,140), is sitting out
Seat 8: lost_soul84 (8,530)
Seat 9: xian_hua (31,522)

klosecall posts the small blind of 600
WallyWorld33 posts the big blind of 1,200
The button is in seat #9
*** HOLE CARDS ***

It checked to me and I really had no idea what to do...

Rent, i think this is a pretty standard raise on most tables with your stack and the antes.

On the flop, I fire about 50-60% pot and give up if anyone calls/raises.

I understand that the raise preflop is standard, just wasn't sure what to bet on the flop... I bet 6000 and shut down when he called
