Default Bad beat, bad luck, or bad play?

5 handed $1/$2 on Imperial Poker. I have AKs UTG and raise. UTG+1 reraises. Everyone else folds. I reraise, as does he. At this point I realize that Imperial has no cap when heads up, even preflop. Realizing that I'm behind to AA, KK, or any other hand he could 5 bet with preflop, I just call. Flop comes K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. (I have spades). I bet, he insta-raises, I reraise (hoping he has QQ, AK, or is a maniac with nothing). He reraises, I call.

Turn is another K.

Again, I bet, he insta-raises. I think about this for a second. He's been playing the hand super aggressive throughout. Very, very few $1/$2 players would 5 bet pre-flop with anything other than AA. If he has AA, I'm now ahead with my trip kings. So I reraise. He reraises, I reraise, etc. This goes back about 25 times, until I'm all in. River is the T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. He flips over A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the rivered flush. Ouch.

Anyway, what does everyone think of this hand? IMO, I played it less bad than he did. I probably should have realized earlier that he had AA, but the vast majority of the money went in when I had the best hand, and villain had to realize that he was either way behind to AK (ten outs) or drawing dead to KK.
