You have to ignore the results here, as this was an obviously rare stroke of unintelligence for your opponents here.

As for the hand, I would consider open limping here with stacks reasonably deep (30x+) and go from there. For the same reason that you wouldn't open raise KQs UTG on the first hand, because it's tricky and can be played more safely and profitably from a limp.

Given that you raised I like the rest. I might raise a bit more on the flop (pot is 4800 when it gets to you, make it 3500 to go). You really have to SHOVE drawing hands out of this pot. A "decent" raise just won't do the trick.
