Honestly I think you owned yourself. Pushing 18k into a 4k pot reeks of "semibluff flush draw" in many people's mind. Why not raise here to 3k-4k instead? Or call and take away from him on the turn. admittedly 66 is a little weak here but I think a pair of eights might call there also. A 2.75x potsize raise/a 22x raise of the flop bet, doesn't look like you're betting for value.

I also think this is a much better line. Raise to 3k and fold to an all in. You stuck soooo many chips out there without a great hand and without a good plan. It seems like your plan was to take the pot away with superaggression. Playing that way into smaller stacks that can barely dent your stack is fine. Against someone who can cripple you there must be more cautious and have a better game plan if you are trying to "make a move."
