 My thoughts, but wait for the experts to chime in later - I'm in the very early stages of learning about poker...

Pre-flop: perfect
Flop: Good. You have to raise, and you did. Then I probably call the re-raise. At this stage and with this many people calling, I think you're looking at a set, 22, 66, or other overpairs (77-kk).

Turn: My line here is raise-fold, unless I want a cheap showdown. Why not raise here, you might force better hands to fold? Otherwise check-call, hoping to check-call the river as well.

River: River, good fold. Hard to fold AA, if it was one bet to call I would be showing down. But it wasn't... What do they have? CO 3-bet pre-flop (unlikely to be 33, 44, 55), then re-raised the flop - his play reeks of kk, and you have that beat. UTG+2, difficult. Calling all the way before launching at the river - I think low set (33, 44, maybe even 88?) scared of being up against a bigger set. I can't imagine anyone having 67s... Shame if it's JJ vs KK...
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

You may not be able to imagine it, but he showed 6 7

You might also have trouble imagining a player who (over 35 hands) had a VP$IP of 85.71!!! Obnoxious, too, but that's why there's a "Block Chat" option...

I see why (3-bet, that is).

Mind you, this guy would have called any number of bets apparently because his b**** would fall off if he didn't.

Oh, after remarking on this guy's VP$IP I checked over my limited sample size (about 850 hands) and noticed that of those with at least 25 hands I see a range from 97.37 down to <drum roll> 2.00. Howinthehell do you get 2.00??? I know you can get the former number by calling every PF and accidentally clicking "fold" somewhere along the way.
