I'm pretty new to PLO and thus still pretty ignorant. I was deep in a $5.50 + Rebuy tourny on PokerStars the other night when this hand occurred. I'm not sure if I played this poorly postflop or just got unlucky.

Villain was playing fairly tight preflop and very tight post flop. With this in mind I put him on AAxx, KKxx, or QQxx (I'd only seen him raise a total of four pots preflop in 2 1/2 hours. With this in mind I decided to call his preflop raise thinking I might be able to take the pot down if he missed it. I'm especially interested in how you all think I played this hand on the flop. Did I overvalue my hand or just get unlucky?

Shove preflop on him, for sure.
As played on the flop given stack sizes, you're never getting away from this, and nor should you.

Also leave out results. Stack sizes definitely matter. Can't get away from this on the flop since there's 51000 in there with only 14k to go from the villian.
It's a cooler. It happens. I mean, do you think you were you supposed to check the flop and fold the turn?
This is a great flop for your hand, and it just happens to be a better flop for him.
