Was this a bad play or just a bad beat

Hi
Played this hand in retrospect i could have had some pot control and not lost my whole stack.. perhaps calling the raises and having a bit of pot control. - though my thoughts against this i wanted to prevent draws and get max value... Or it just an old fashioned bad beat
ALSO do you guys think it is good to go all in a protect strong hands against flush/straight draws on the flop or is this a way to just increase the variance in your game???

this was just unlucky, you want to be called by a big ace and try to avoid their kicker. after a bet and raise before you, i would shove with top 2 to protect. u may get flush/straight draws to fold and even a big ace may fold thinking of a flopped set because of the action on the flop.
