Default Can I play this any better?

Don't usually post hand histories but this one I just don't understand. I show strength pre-flop with a 5x raise. I hit top pair sith A kicker and make a pot sized bet to take it down right there, but get raised by a draw??? I'm baffled. Fink, help me out here

I knew this one would wind up here. Like I said in the chat I fealt that with your excessive raising you were trying to bluff the pot. You raised me just about every hand I was in. I was figuring I would take the chance with the draw. If I lose so what. It was $5. Simply I had had enough of the raising while I had a hand worth playing. Would it have suited your fancy that I just call you to the river and beat you? It was a beat we all give 'em and take 'em part of the game.

Oh yeah and if your intent is to post this to make me look bad, not gonna work. I do that on my own and don't need any help. I got it covered.

Don't think you can make me look like a fool because I have that part under control.
