Aggressively bid on job, think I got it and realized theres more work than expected

Just do it, get it done, then have a beer or four.
You will be remembered and liked, doing it cheerfully will get you referrals. In time, it might not seem like such a tough break after all. It is what it is.

they will most likely recognize your efforts, so just make sure you do the best job you can. 
Also remember there is actual costs doing a job and than there is your time, time is always flexible, I don't worry about investing extra time especially if it may lead to more chances in the future. Sometimes I just tell myself I would rather do photography than be home watching TV. It usually balances out in the long run.....Your still getting the same money you quoted, so what if the hourly rate is down a bit... You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.
That's what a REAL man would do.
Seriously though, these things happen sometimes, you have to just put up with it unfortunately. Happened to me many times, especially with video projects. I quote an amount I think is fair, then find out i have to spend way more time than I initially thought. Oh well, I said I'd do it and I have to do it now.
At least you're getting paid.
Not long ago my business partner signed us up for a job with the promise of more work (which = free... quite common in photography with models... it's a model agency, but not so common in the video world where time = money). Turns out I had a heap of work to do and he had just 1/2 days work to do. 
Jokes on him, this weekend I have a job where I work one day and get paid a whole bunch of cash... from that same client we did free work for. His reward for this work $0 (because he's not in HK at the moment). AHHHH AHHAHAHAAHAHA AHHAHAHA etc.
