LOL Donkaments

Alright so tonight I played in this private donkament on Stars. $11 no-limit. As usual, played well in the beginning and then blew up at the end. There were two questionable hands. With the blinds at 75/150, and 8 handed, UTG+1 opens for 300. I am next to act and have A J . I consider moving in but the UTG player was pretty passive. I decide to flat call the 300 with only 1355 effective stack behind (I have him covered by 600 chips). Luckily for me everyone else folds.  Flop comes down K 4 4 . He checks, I put him all in, he calls with AA, and of course I can't hit my flush. My bet was more than pot sized, but anything commits me there, so I figured I'd put him in and if he had something like 99/TT/JJ, maybe he folds since it's for all his chips. I think my mistake though was preflop, shouldn't have even been involved in the hand. If I had unsuited AJ, I would have folded without much thought. Two hands later I'm UTG with the blinds the same and I move in for 600 wi
