Horrible bets on the flop & turn.

My preflop raise is about 4 x bb + 1 bb per limper. Isn't that about right?
Yesterday i had the identical hand and was betting into pocket AA, so i was a bit gun shy here. Should i have been after the huge raise? What do you put him on??

Grunch isn't criticizing your preflop bet. He's (correctly) saying that your weak ass $2 bet into an almost $10 pot sucked. BET THE POT, or 2/3 of it minimum if you're going to bet. If he's got 78, you're gift wrapping his draw.
You let him hit his kicker on the river by betting like a pussy. He had AT, no?
