These hands kill me, especially out of position but folding would be too tight. I'm glad he checked the river but is this a reasonable way to play this?

Too strong? Didn't want to let overpairs hit and with 6 people in, thought someone with a T might play back. Only way to win a big pot is to make it big and in PL, I need to bet.

Flopped top two pair and nut flush draw and I lose to a gutshot on the turn. I guess I played it where I lost as little money as possible.

Hand 1: I put either opponent on a low wrap of the 76xx type, or A7. I am in check-fold mode on the turn.

Hand 2: softlee softlee catchee monkeee. Or something. In any case, far far too aggressive. Bet enough on the flop to get rid of AA and then move yourself into milking mode. You flopped a killer and you want anyone with a bare ten to catch their kicker. $1 on the flop is probably enough to get rid of KK, AA type hands. From then on, you want to present an air of great vulnerability each time you bet. Half pot or less is good, you want your opponent to become so fixated on his hand that he just can't stop betting. There is a lot to be said in poker for sometimes sitting in the shadows and letting someone else fall in love with his own hand. Now is that time! I would bet $2 at the most on the turn. If someone is going to catch a top boat with a ten in hand you want that to happen, and take their stack!

Hand 3: Your opponent kinda sucks. You played it fine. I don't like a river bluff unless there's some specific read on him to suggest he lays down a straight to a paired board for a full-pot bet. Otherwise, check the mofo down and take your medicine. Next time he'll line your pockets.
