How should I have played this?

OK. This is bad play from me. I had plenty of chips and wasted them all on this hand. What was the ideal play here? I'm thinking a smaller bet from me, then a fold when rundup raises me. Any comments appreciated I'm xtemplex

Re: How should I have played this? the only real comment i can offer is the obvious - dont go all in. Any smaller bet post flop wouldnt have helped either - he may have even flat called a small bet to get paid more on the turn and river. So the 1200 bet was about right, and he told you the answer you had asked - you just didnt listen to him and called. If you had folded you still had 1700 or so chips to play with which was still adequate.
