Default Is this a meltdown?

Hey guys. I am having trouble deciding if this was a meltdown by me or a long-term +EV legitimate Semi-bluff that just happened to not turn out right. The BB is sane, but has raised me every time I limped in from the SB. This is the first time I'm raising him at this table. I def. wasn't on tilt, but it's still possible it was a really dumb play. This is the stars $10+rebuys. There were about 180 players left. 81 is ITM. My goal is to make final table/win. Thanks.

You should have lead the flop. U would then have a had a better idea where you stood and would have avoided this situation.

Its a pretty obvious bluff card. It looks like he has a legit hand + more chips. I dont like the move.

seems crazy at first glance,of course if he folds it's a great play.in a live high buy in,you get away with this every time,and it's well played,but in a $10 buy in online,if most players have any card paired they call,just because the off chance they can double up.especially this guy,who is playing crazy as you've noticed,seems like the one guy i'd make sure i had a hand when up against.

i don't think this is such a bad play. if you're convinced the guy will bet anything here, i like it. he's very unlikely to have hit this flop, as hands with a 2/4 in them will usually fold preflop. and when you're behind, you usually have 7 outs, which is not a disaster.
