Default Table image: putting Humpty Dumpty back together again

I've made the leap to NL1000 on Party twice now and failed miserably both times. Sometime around fall (if all goes well) I'll be giving it another shot. In the meantime I need to fix whatever leaks I've had up there before I even think of trying it again. Failing a third time would be horrible.

When I've played 5/10NL on Party (about 25K hands...-~2bb/100 btw) I find myself being very concerned about my table image. PT tells me that I'm very aggressive on the flop, fair on the river yet passive on the turn. The turn is where I tend to encounter the most problems. I seem to be folding a BUNCH on the turn after putting a decent amount of money in the pot...time and time again. As an example, I have, say, KJ and call a PFR on the button. Board is J 8 2r. PFR bets pot, I call. Turn 3, PFR bets pot again, I fold. So then I start to think that the table has adjusted to me being being the type to call a flop bet and fold the turn so I start being overaggressive on all streets thinking "F him if he thinks he's gonna run me over! I'M RAISING MY AIR, BITCH!" And that's where everything falls apart...bad play follows tilt follows bad play follows sicko monkey tilt and ends in total and complete disaster.

I don't seem to have this problem at my comfort level: NL400. Sure, I'm passive on the turn and the AF numbers are actually similar (don't have them here...sorry can post later) but I'm completely comfortable on all streets. As a comparison, after ~45k hands at NL400 I'm at +5.5bb/100.

I know this is rather vague but do you think that I'm too worried that the table has caught up to me? Am I not adjusting for the increase in aggression from NL400 to NL1k? Is it REALLY all that much more aggressive at this limit? Need any other info from me? HH's?

Thoughts/comments welcome
