Proof that I need a long break?

[passion]

I agree about taking a break - and play under a different account or screen name when you return.

Putting in a big raise PF might solve a lot of problem in this hand. First, it may weed out some crappy hands that have the capability to bust you (T7 for instance). Secondly, it lets everyone know that your very serious about your holding. This makes it less likely that they will try to make a stand with something like J9 or J8 on the flop.

Given the way you played the hand I think you have to give the guy credit for something good and fold to the turn bet.
