The problem with premium pairs is that they rarely make a hand larger than one pair.  Villain made loose call preflop, but with middle pair and a flush draw he was not going anywhere.  You need to control the size of the pot- you don't want to make pot-sized bets with only one pair.  Yes, he is very likely behind you and may be drawing and you don't want him to catch.  The bigger pot also gives him better odds to draw.

Looking at the stack sizes I don't think there was much you could have don't to change the outcome.  Your bet on the turn was too large, but if he jammed the river if you checked to him you probably could not fold anyway.  You should study the hands you played and it is not the outcome you should be most concerned with, but what you could have done to play it better.

Tonight I busted out of like 5 $20 tournaments which is frustrating, but 4 out of 5 of those I got my chips in as a huge favorite either preflop or on the turn, and the villain got lucky and pulled miracle cards.  This is the nature of poker and you cannot dwell on the fact that you lost, only that you made sound decisions.  If you continue to do this you will be a winning player.  Yes I was pissed that I busted out of a bunch of tourneys tonight- I ended the night down about $45 dollars, but I'm up about $350 for the week.
