I reraise 4th, the guy pairing his door card doesn't scare me that much (considering a 2 just hit seat 8), the reraise should give you a feel for where you are in the hand. In this situation the reraise would've (should've) made Seat 7 fold, then Seat 8 should fold his lone pair (which he only called with because he sees trips unlikely, your fold, and Seat 7's lack of a reraise).

I think “getting a feel for where you are in a hand” is overrated. You simply pay too much for that information; what’s more, it often won’t be accurate. What do you do if the guy who paired his door 3-bets? Now do you fold for one more small bet?
The rest of your analysis is based on the results and therefore no good, sorry.

I certainly don't consider these kinds of raises to be expensive, or innacurate. It's not like they're being done on every single hand, they're almost reserved specially for hands like this. And, how are they not accurate? If Seat 1 3-bets, then you call. On 5th street you should know where you're at in the hand, and if necessary, you can get out before the bets increase.

The rest of my analysis is based on the results, so? I offered my advice and then outlined how the hand would have played out, if the advice was followed. If you'd like me to give an alternate ending (for example, what to do when a player we thought would fold, decides to raise instead), I can do that as well.
