I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing. It seems so easy from this blog -- tighten up. Admit to it when you're beat. No, he's not bluffing. Play within your limits. I'm not doing ANY of this.

Pre-flop:
puttputtking3 folds. ssharpster folds. DSDLOSTINTXcalls. onegreenchip raises to $1.10 (value raise on button). ZachAttack88folds. stupidtexan folds. DSDLOSTINTX calls.
Flop (board: 7d Ad 4d): <--BOOM DSDLOSTINTX checks. onegreenchip checks (I have the nut flush. Maybe he can catch up and call bets later in the hand.)
Turn (board: 7d Ad 4d Tc):
DSDLOSTINTX bets $2.55. (this looks like a pretty obvious steal, here. If he has any non-flush hand, he isn't going to put any more bets in after this. I decide to make a value-shove and hope it gets interpreted as weakness. "Go away, I don't want you to have more cards because I'm vulnerable) onegreenchip goes all-in for $21.47. DSDLOSTINTX folds. onegreenchip is returned$18.92 (uncalled).
$.30 is raked from a pot of $7.65.
onegreenchip wins $7.35.
(I know I could have gotten more value out of this hand. How? Minraise the flop? Screams too much strength. Check/call turn doesn't let him bet most hands on the river...I mean, what does he think I'm merely calling a pot-sized bet with? the Kd?
I'm sure he had a little something, but what line would have allowed him to bet on the river?)

i think you're overthinking situations and trying to play too tricky. put the money in when you're ahead and fold when you think you're behind. do the math and if it's overwhelmingly one way, then go with that decision. that's poker.
MISPLAYING THE NUTS - never be afraid to not have your hand get paid off. you've flopped a monster. what's your goal? GET THE OTHER GUY'S STACK. what's the easiest way to do that? put money in the pot. more specifically, you're trying to let him catch up, but you have the top 2 nut cards. even if he has the Jd, which he likely won't be stacking off, you're going to feel pretty stupid if he fills up a boat because you gave him a free card. get the money in.
RIVER RAT - you're shoving here regardless of texture because of the stack sizes (i think that's what u meant) anyway, i play this the exact same way, nice.
DON'T FUCKING SLOWPLAY - raise em. if you are gonna slowplay. as played, you should be betting that flop. the raise is fine. but when he SHOVES over, you're done with the hand. don't get in the habit of trying to be a hero and pick off bluffs -- it wont work for your winrate at this level (and below 200nl).
I SWEAR HE'S BLUFFING - not a bad board to c-bet on, but proceed cautiously. that's just a tough hand. he could have had a big draw (QK) or QQ also. this isn't so terrible, some people would do this with AJ. keep in mind that a 3 bet on the flop usually signifies strength from a solid opponenet (sometimes jackasses will happily get it all in here with AT, so watch for them).
MESSING WITH THE BIG STACK -- i dont think you should have checked there -- i like your line.
FLOPPED A SET THAT WAS NO-GOOD - arg, calling is bad :-(. anyway, you flop big. JUICE IT UP. both would have lead you to get all in on the flop, which would have sucked, but that's kind of a cooler. anyway, make your river raise bigger in this spot if you're going to play the hand passively, OR just flat call, don't make a pussy raise that won't get you much value AND opens your jaw up to being re-raised (then you're like, oh shit, now what????).
NO PLAN = NO CHIPS -- this is something i've been learning about. you can lead these hands for like 1/2 or 2/3 pot. if someone has you beat they'll let you know (they'll call behind you or raise, then you simply refuse to put more money in the pot). your hand isn't strong enough to c/r -- then you're out of position for the rest of the hand. don't decide that people are bluffing. i do this too and it loses me most of my money.
?? -- this is a really close decision; i'll tell you why. you c-bet; opponent MIGHT think "oh, i have an overpair, he has AK so i'm gonna charge him" RAISE. here's the thing though, if you re-pop, you're likely going to get him to fold 66-JJ. he'll shove you with sets, straights, and AA. so you only get hands to play you that BEAT you and fold everything else out. this is why CALLING his raise (like you did) is great. you have position on him. he has the lead in the pot now. it's big enough where he's almost definitely going to be shoving the turn. PLUS, you've under-represented your hand -- it looks like you have an ace and are being stubborn. ALL of this is why you would call the turn shove. BUT, a really terrible card came which completes a bunch of straights. (this concept is called Way Ahead, Way Behind). now here's the thing -- it seems that he's not afraid of this card a bit as he's still shoving. this could mean he has it. in any case, it's a pretty borderline decision (probably not + or - EV longterm in spots like this). i like how you played this.
