Re: <---------upside down bottle of dom
no, BB is "big bets," i.e. 34.25x4=$137
Not a huge amount of money, but more than a single buy-in.
As for those saying I should stop playing poker, I withdrew my entire bank roll a few days ago.

These two thoughts are contradictory.

Re: 5/10 KK
I call, and check-call the river. It looks like he was worried you wouldn't lead the turn if he capped the flop, which makes me think he's not concerned about getting any hand to fold. That's bad,...

Re: Heads up AA paired board
I think raising the turn is ok, but it might cause him to fold on the spot. Getting value out of weak opponents who don't have much is an art, and you may have got the maximum here.

Re: TT in a giant pot
