Its really the 7th nuts, although it is unlikely AA, KK, jj, 77, 44, and Q10 are all superior after the river. and unless you put your opponent on any of those hands (77 being even more unlikely than 44), and I was wondering why you preferred to check the flop with a potential flush draw on the flop. Q 10 suited is a possible money burner for anyone with cash to throw around, and since you checked twice he could have just as easily been trying to push you off a weak K or J ( weak kicker) having outs with either the up and down, or flush outs. Villian is betting half pot or more on each street, so it looks like you saved money...until you moved all in on the river, which I understand the A was the worst card that could have come out save your K for trips dominated by Jacks full...your not folding either of those. Keep grinding and IMO there is never one right answer, I was just spewing out some of the thoughts that occurred to me as I read your Hand details.I'll get the ball rolling with this little beauty.
Villain is a solid reg who (rightly) views me as a spewtard.

I knew my image was shite, my hand underrepped and I figured I looked full of shit. Thing is I got so caught up looking in to my range I didn't think about his value range here which is going to be very tight as he can't realisticly bet lone aces and expect much value, I have AJ loads and he is unlikely to double barrel it.Leaving me with just KJ and loads of stuff that beats me.
That and although I don't check/call QT here alot of people probably do. You feel like such a tool when you ship for thin value, villain tanks then hero calls the 3rd nuts
