Couple of questions:

Villain is 29/4 here

Is it bad play raising with suited connecters here to mix things up or should i be only raising from late position?

Should i call min re-raise pre-flop smells like he dosent want to play this hand post-flop maybe JJ's or TT. Im playing to hit a straight or flush here so i should have implied odds if i hit either and i will be in position, unlikely 1 pair will win anything here

My Plan is to check/fold flop unless i hit good flop, he comes out with a poor bet again of 1/4 pot giving flush draw odds to call, still smells of JJ and hes afraid of the King. Im getting a good price to call here considering i have 1 pair. Should i call here or re-raise to get him off an underpair to Kings??

Hows my re-raise on the turn here, dont want to scare off TT-QQ here with an all in???

Whats my best option to get the as much of his stack as possible in here on the river giving the range i put him on or how do you recommend to play this river?

Once you're not opening all SCs from EP it's fine to mix it up a little so that thinking opponents can't assign you a really tight range for EP raising. I'd be inclined to bet 1/2 - 2/3rd pot on the river and bring AK to value town.

yep. I wouldn't really be a big fan of opening scs here too often at fr though.

Whats fr??

I pushed on the river for my final $50 or so and he folded. Taught after he called the re-raise on the turn that he wasnt getting away from this hand with $75 already in the pot. Possibly had the flush draw so he might not have called anything

full ring,

preflop and flop are fine

raise more on the turn

river push is fine
