Proof that I need a long break?

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.

I should have said guy(s). The fact that you are up agaist two players make the turn into a bigger fold situation.

What do you think are hand ranges for each?

I'm not going to treat these guys separately in speculating about what their holdings might be because I don't think there is any reason to. From you perspective you might as well treat them as one super player. They both have you covered so there are no side pot considerations from your point of view.

At a minimum I would speculate that your looking at JQ and a draw (like J8). Other probable hands include JT, T7, J8, or J9, all of which have you destroyed by the turn.
