Could also be your image. Have you established yourself as someone who constantly bets, raises and folds but never calls? If you're seen as very aggressive he's much more likely to be trapping you to let you hang yourself.
You sound like you're building big pots at times when it may not be correct to do so. I would have liked to see a check on either flop or turn - maybe even both. You have a hand with showdown value, you don't need to build the pot so aggressively that you cannot possibly be good if he calls. Also go to Robb's operation thread and read the most recent post by bjsaust where he quotes a post in his own operation thread about range manipulation and how we sometimes manage to manipulate our range in a way that is to our detriment.
Also, buy PNL and take part in the book club.
