Re: Steal gone bad
Not everybody limp raises with big pairs. It gives the strength of the hand away pretty quickly. A common play is just to call and trap on the flop.
Who knows what he has. Quite possibly an overpair of some kind. He could be on a draw but that's pretty dangerous to be pushing into the pre-flop raiser. I don't think you have any choice but to fold.
I think your pre-flop play was good. It just didn't work out.
