Your mistake is calling his flop raise.

I'd raise preflop, as well (of course, if you're going to limp you can't get into trouble with ace high).

I'd raise preflop. I'd also fold the turn if I didn't intend to call the river shove. You either think your hand is good or you're drawing dead to a red J.

This was so awful, that I just had to post to discourage any future Fancy Bad Play Syndrome like this.

On the turn, I figured I could've moved ahead, but saw no reason to raise when he would just check down the river with any hand that I was ahead of (like QT). If he bet the river, I knew I was dead. So I called, then folded.

Raise PF. Fold the flop since you called get it allin on the turn or river.
BTW If you think you're good on the flop raise don't call.
