Your preflop raise is way too big.

I pop it to t60 there.

I don't think you could really be faulted for the way you played this, except maybe the PF raise, it was a bit too big (almost 7 times the BB). At least with a raise that size, you could be certain the caller was serious about playing the hand.

I like the size of the flop bet, kind of between a probe and continuation bet. His call there told you everything you needed to know. Firing another barrel on the turn or river would likely have resulted in a big-time reraise.

Nothing you could have done, even without the king on the end, you're most likely way behind in this hand. Good fold.
