Re: Taking you to school.
JT isn't a straight draw, it's a straight. (This is a constant problem for Mr Glimne, he is unable to read even the most obvious straight. Straight-blindness is a problem in any poker player, especially an 'expert'.)
I don't think his preflop decision is the best here. If the raiser was on our immediate right a cold-call would often be best, as we can encourage more calls behind us. But here I really want to 3-bet or fold. Without the possibility of a multiway pot I want to punish someone who is a loose raiser, and avoid the tight raiser completely.
His flop decisions are correct as the hand played out. Now he leaves a rather gaping hole in his discussion, what to do if the turn blanks and it's checked to you again. Then you have to bet.
