No need to raise here when blinds are small unless I am willing to risk my stack here..... what happens if i raise to a 3 bet (450)...then comes a raise to 1000 and then a all in for 2200, i am folding AQ here!! So i think to safe chips waiting on my big hands which would come within the next two blinds b/c you get dealt JJ-AA 1 every 52 hands!!!!

Yes you fold your AQs to a reraise and shove. And that's ok! Instead, you let a guy who would never had called a raise in cheap, he flopped top pair and he decided he's pushing it to the max. Blinds are NOT small at all here, 75/150 is quite large when you have about 2500 chips. Pick up those blinds while you can man!

Raise preflop, or if you limp preflop then shove turn

The small blind was the guy with the 10-8. He shoved before Nutz got to act.

There is absolutely a need to raise here. You are in mid-late position. Your range is even going to beat a blind shove, in my eyes. Sure, if there is a 4-bet, you're beat, but your hand slaughters most of the table's range. Thus, you raise.

Also, flatting that flop? His hand is about the best of his range. Thus, you're drawing to 15, and a FAVORITE. Thus, you raise. You WANT him to push.

You played this hand far too passively the whole way. If you want to start going deeper, you are going to have to reach down and find the next gear for your play.
