Re: thoughts and results

OK I guess I should have elaborated that my read and personal feeling about the button was that he is a poor player and would overplay his hands. I also felt his postflop skills were poor. I had seen him reraise from late position, and won a decent pot when his 6-7 offsuit flopped 2 pair... point being I had him in the crosshairs the whole time.

Reraising from late position with 76o isn't inherently bad in itself.

The weak flop bet was to induce a bluff, which worked. I think he would have folded had I reraised all in on the flop.

If you felt that was the best way to extract chips from this particular villain - that he would blast weak looking bets - then it's probably a fine play. This can't be criticized without criticizing your read, which is difficult to do. Reraising all-in on the flop would be far worse than the line you took; with an overly aggressive player, you want to give him enough rope to hang himself.

Going with my initial read, I risked giving him a free card when the ace fell, cause I thought there was a decent chance he'd have an ace and would bet, or would bluff if he didn't. Obviously that worked out well for me.

As I commented before, this is the part of this hand that I liked best.

The reason I posted this is, although it worked out for me in getting maximum value, I didn't feel too good about how I played the hand and I just wanted some opinions.

You used your read and a little luck to stack him, so it looks like your read was pretty good. I still dislike the PF minraise for the reasons I mentioned before, but it sounds like given your impressions of the player you're up against that you played postflop fine.
