What does "I was cooked" means?

Complete sentence: I was cooked to pick side A.

Does that means he was predisposed to pick side A ?



Thanks
 
It doesn't mean anything to me. Where did you find it?
 
A US Customer said this to me.
Conversation:
A: Why did you allow them to sucker you into buying that stupid thing?
B: I guess I was cooked,So I did not give it much thought.

My guess is that it might have been used in the sense of "deceived".
 
I am not a teacher.

Another guess would be that 'cooked' means 'intoxicated' or 'drunk'.
 
'Baked' is slang for being high on marijuana, but I haven't heard 'cooked' used this way. However, like Roman, that would be my guess as to that person was trying to say.

Edit: When you cite the source, it appears that you said this to the Customs officer yourself, so why are you asking us what you meant?

Edit #2: In certain limited contexts, it could be used to mean you're sunburned or feeling the effects of heat exhaustion.
