I played this weakly because I had him on AT or an overpair. I, however, remember that he was in the BB, so I felt that a call here was best for my decent, but vulnerable hand.

This can't help him now unless he has TT or A3. I could already be drawing dead, so the pot-sized bet makes me wonder. I'm also hoping that the smooth call may slow him down a bit

Now I'm up against back-to-back-to-back pot sized bets. I didn't improve so I figured I was beat from the start. I lay it down.

Villain held T4o.
Flame away. I gave away $5.95 and laid down the best hand. It absolutely nauseated me to do that. Besides the obvious re-raise strategy (ie. not playing like a drunken muppet), is there anything else I could have done to avoid the mess? The table as a whole was exceptionally passive, and I had been running it over for the last half hour or so, as my stack would attest to. I was winning the majority of pots uncontested, and when I did win a big pot, I showed down monsters each time (flopped Broadway straight and flopped trip Jacks, turned full house). All this guy did was take my aggression on the flop and play it back at me. Grrrr.
