Thanks, i came to pretty much the same conclusion. The main reason i posted this is because i kinda like your suggestion and wanted to see if anybody else suggested it...

Which line is better:
1. the line i took which maximizes protection for my hand
or...
2. Call the initial $30 bet from the guy on my right trying to play a smaller pot with this dangeous board? I think this strategy has a lot of merit because it should make the turn much easier to play.
