Should I have raised a little preflop? Just a bad beat period.

just a bad beat. some people like to raise with suited connectors, but the winner was already in the big blind and might have came along anyways. a serious bad beat, tough break

WP, probably raising smaller flop if hes not a massive fish but given he limped in and a freeroll seems good
