You really don't want to hear this right now, but that pre-flop call with 77 is somewhat borderline. The raiser doesn't have a deep enough stack for implied odds, so you have to feel that he's capable of raising with a lot of non-pocket pair hands to justify calling with the chance that you're up against a much better hand pre-flop (which you were). At least you're going to have post-flop position on him, but this is still a pre-flop fold IMO.

That being said, OUCH! How many suck outs can one guy suffer?!?

Get well soon, golfer.
