$100NL. 6max. no reads. I usually bet alot more on each street, but from previous posts it seems that may not be thebest way to get the opponent(s) to commit all of their stacks. Is this hand played good? What would you change? much thanks again.

LOL!!
Why would the guy bets $1 in a $105 pot?? I think you played that great. You gave them odds to get their flushes/straights, so they called.
If they had KK or QQ, then good for them, nothing you can do.
Now if you won, it was at least a $105 pot. Now imagine if you would've bet 2x the pot like on that KK hand, you would've probably only made like $10. Now you made $105+ by reeling them in.
That $35 raise at the end is not bad IMO. It could mean you missed the flush and you're trying to steal.
NH.

Thank-you very much. And that $35 raise was just enough to put the second guy all-in. On that KK hand, that guy did end up calling though  . Only difference between this hand and that hand is that I flopped the nuts this hand. So, is this a better way to get all the money in the middle? It certainly did get all the money in the middle, which was what I was hoping for.

Actually, I would have checked the flop. But other than that, it looks good.

It all depends though. I mean, sometimes you can flop the nut straight, but the board is suited, or two cards of one suit, you necessarily won't play the same way.
Another exemple, you hold K2, and the board shows KK2. You'll play that very differently than 99 on a 922 board.
Anyway, you know what I mean.

Nope, luckily not. The only poker I play besides online is a home game every once and a while with some friends.

Not a comment to this hand, but in general about valuebetting.
It's largely dependant on how you play, betting 1/2 and 3/4 of a pot is _not_ the key to poker.
Overbetting a high pocket is silly if they'll only call with a set, but it's gold if they'll call you with sets, top pair or a flushdraw. Stuff like that, it's hardly set in stone and what size of bets an opponent is likely to call may vary greatly.
For example if you give alot of action you'll get alot of action and you can pot and overbet for value your heart out, and you'll lose big but also win big so it probably evens out anyway.
The original of this post was very long-winded, but I realize now that the subject in general is just too big to cover, there are too many facets to this subject.

I like it the whole way through.
Occasionally check that flop, but nothing wrong with sometimes betting.

Thanks! I was thinking of checking the flop, but I think that would have looked weird since i have made continuation bets almost every time at this table up until now. I usually bet about 2/3 - 3/4 of the pot but I only bet 1/2 the pot here. I think I like how i played it in this situation. Anyway, here are the results:
The guy acting after me called my raise all in. The guy who made the $1 donk bet called the all in as well. The guy who made the $1 bet had K5hh for a pair of Kings and a flush draw. The other guy had QThh for a pair of Queens and a flush draw. In hindsight I like the size of the bets because it kept them in with their flush draws. Thanks for all the feedback
