My Biggest Loss Ever

Yesterday I lost more money playing poker than I ever have before in one day. At one point early in the session I was down 26k. I scrapped all the way back to -6k before finishing on a downswing and wound up down about 22k. I was massively unlucky and my cards were incredibly cold, but I also misplayed some hands very badly. During my fight back I thought I played about as well as I ever have, but then I screwed up a hand very badly:

Seat 7 is the button

** Summary ** Main Pot: $13397 Side Pot 1: $3446 Rake: $3 Board: [ Js 4d 7h 6h 8h ] ReadMyAvatar balance $16843, bet $6173, collected $16843, net +$10670 [ 7c 7d ] [ three of a kind, sevens -- Js,8h,7c,7d,7h ]
APotIsAPot balance $1917.41, lost $6173 [ Ah Ad ] [ a pair of aces -- Ah,Ad,Js,8h,7h ]
svizec24 balance $0, lost $4450 [ Kh Ks ] [ a pair of kings -- Kh,Ks,Js,8h,7h ]

I knew exactly what was going on here and I didn't do the right thing. Whether that was because I hadn't had many hands all day, because I had gotten into a penis-measuring contest with ReadMyAvatar, because I had been playing for a long time and was fatigued, or because I have been playing more tournaments than cash games lately (where overpairs are unfoldable), I'm not sure. The fact is this should have been a casual laydown, and making mistakes like this is completely unforgivable.
