And maybe I should. It's not his demeanor that bothers me, but rather the fact that I might played a hand badly.
this kind of stood out from the rest of your post. I respect and understand your attitude of perfection, but you also have to understand that NOBODY plays perfect. In poker, everybody makes mistakes. You can't play the game perfect. The great thing about the game though, is you don't have to, you just have to play better then your opponents (and rake). As long as you learn from your poor plays (you will make many, just like everyone else), you are heading in the right direction.
As for the hand...
CLEAR fold preflop. Not only is your hand trash but you are also sandwiched between the PFRer and the rest of the field preflop and on all subsequent betting rounds. Being out of position for the rest of the hand makes this even worse.
Flop texture is pretty dangerous. Ad, Td are dirty, so you really have 6 good outs. You are nearly 8:1 against hitting a non-diamond straight card on the turn, which is exactly what you are looking for. Villain's stack isn't deep ($64 preflop) and your are OOP. Implied odds in these situations are bad. check and fold to the $8 bet here. If you were in position with deeper stacks, we could talk about a positinal raise/semibluff. Not here though. For future reference, I would avoid calling a preflop raise with a hand like KTs without a very good reason to do so. Like I said before, position makes this worse.
