(96s) A nice reraise from two pair when I flop the straight with jtrey’s backup hand.
(AQo) I would fold AQo to a heads-up reraise from an unknown, but “don’t raise m” loves huge shoves with a wide range.
Interesting. I mean, the guy was calling with the best of it until the river with 66, but that seems terrible. Raise or fold, but what does he think I have that he’s beating on the river?
(Js4s) I would have done the same thing with the ten-high flush, there.
(QJo) Again, a villain flat calls when I raise to test for a c-bet with my top pair when they should be reraising (he has AQo). I’m mentally done when he calls, but then I hit my three-outer, and he pays me all the way from there. He mutters something about me being a big lucksack after, but he took his chances by not reraising me on the flop, and then couldn’t get away from it.
I’m close enough to

O8
Still no expert, but I have been reading on 2+2 and I can’t get back onto NLHE because of the 20 minute rule plus
(AsAhKcTs) No raise pf with no low, but I liked the flop probe bet with position. With a caller, I slow down, but then I make the second nuts on the river. I raised pot hoping he had Broadway and would call, oh well.
(9s8h5s2s) D’oh, I would have scooped!
Eh, now I just want to go to bed, I’ll quit before I’m stuck.

Nice hands, sir.
I probably would have played the QJo hand differently against an unknown (fold preflop, or failing that, call and call his flop bet, then start raising when I turn the two pair).
Double barreling your straight draw with QT seems a little dicey without reads. However, if you know that guy's passive then you're probably not getting raised off of it, and probably getting paid off when you hit it. Otherwise at these levels I'm assuming I don't have the fold equity to semibluff that draw. Given that he limped PF and called you down, he probably overvalued JT or QJ.
Other than those nitpicks, well played all around sir!
Re: QT: I forgot that on that hand, the villain's holdings don't show up in the public hand history--adjusted the post. He had 66, which is why I thought his play was odd. Without knowing what he actually has, there are lots of hands you could put him on that make sense. It's seeing the 66 that didn't. And yes, I played the draw much more aggressivley than I usually do. I thought his call meant he liked but didn't love his hand, and that another bet on the turn would get him to fold; I was wrong, but plan B ( actually making a hand) worked out.
Re: AQ: For starters, I didn't have the guy pegged as a typical .02/.04 donk...i.e., will c-bet, and will fold to pressure with marginal holdings. A fold was probably in order, but I had the button, it was a smallish raise, and frankly I expected more callers. When I hit my queen and he leads out, I think the most likely scenario is that he has a small pair that will be afraid of the queen, or two big cards that he's c-betting, with the possibility that one is a queen.
I figure a raise will define things for me, and has an excellent shot at taking down the pot right there if he doesn't have KQ or AQ. If I just call and *don't* hit a gin card, I will be like the guy with 66: facing a big turn bet with no clarity. I'd rather pay for the info up front, and as soon as he called my raise, I was done betting for the hand barring that specific turn.
