I think I've improved a lot since first lurking at this site. My ROI and profit have recently gone positive and, with good bankroll management, I've only made one deposit! Please critique...

Well done on the win! Some specific comments below:

1. AJs - fold to the EP raise. There are 6 players left to act, you have to get out here. If you were on the button and CO open raised maybe call but here it's time to fold. Once you get re-raised time to get out SUPER quick.

2. AQs - preflop is fine. I don't think I make a c-bet on that flop either with two opps seeing the monotone flop.

3. 99 - I would probably limp rather than raise from UTG because if one of the bigger stacks shoves over you have a tough decision. As played, obv call the shortstack push, he does this with a LOT of hands you flip (with odds) against or dominate.

5 A BU (M = 7.76; f+f+f+F) (between 4 and 5) - good fold with your stack size

5. AKo - I open shove it with <12x BB. If you get flat called and miss the flop you'll be desperately short if you c-bet the flop and get called or raised and have to give it up.

6. J4o - I just check behind on the flop rather than betting, particularly against the big stack. If you're going to bet, bet a bit more since you'd really like opp to fold here. 200 is good (but I'd still check).

8. ATo - this one is close, but at a $3.40 I think they call you wide enough to make this +EV. AJ I definitely shove, A9 I fold.

6 A SB (M = 6.40; f+f+f+F) (between 8 and 9) - I shove this for sure

9. J8o - shove over on the flop. The pot is big enough for you to want to take it down now and if an overcard comes on the flop you're in a tough spot. Plus it could look like you're trying to bluff opp out of the pot if you shove.

11. 22 - nonononono, don't limp this ever. With the big stack in the BB, I'd just let it go. If you were the big stack I'd raise it.

12. AQo - I just open shove it rather than raising 2/3 of opp's stacks. Believe it or not there is a risk of misclick folding here! Also, a shove can often look like a blatant steal; it's clear here that you'll never fold. LOOOOOOOOL at opp's shove over with T7o with ZERO fold equity!

14. 77 - with the shortstack shove and call by big stack, get out. You're flipping or dominated here. If it was just shortstack button shoving I would call for sure but with big stack calling, GET OUT. As played, sorry to be harsh but your flop and turn play is awful. Just try to check the hand down unless you hit a set.

17. 96o - I tend to check the turn rather than second barrelling, but it seems to have worked for you here.

18. Q2o - no, I just check and see a flop. If you hit top pair then C-R AI.

19. J8o - I just check behind. Opp has shown that he traps with hands you beat, just check and see if you can flop something nice.

20. 72o - I just fold this. Nothing wrong with letting opp know (if he's watching) that you're not playing ATC. As played, if you're going to raise then raise more, say to 1200 since you really would like opp to fold. As played, flop shove is nice.

21. 62s - as per 20, just fold it - if you're going to raise then raise more.

22. 98s - nononononononono, this is bad, you're often 2:1 dog and almost never a favourite by calling here. Just let it go, there will be better spots.

Tai, considering our stacks, what would you call with here? This is a move that I probably only make with given stacks.
And please don't apologize for the tone. I do win a fair amount of these but I know I have tons of leaks HU and 3handed. That's why I posted these, so hammer me... and thanks for the advice...

It is very read dependent on how wide opp is shoving. Looking through the HH, it doesn't seem that he has OPEN shoved all that much (although he has limp/re-raised and shoved over your raise). Also, he has 12x BB here so he doesn't have to shove ATC.

Say he shoves 35% of hands (44+,A2+,K6o+,K3s+,Q9o+,Q7s+,JTo,J8s+,T9s), then you call with 33+,A6o+,A2s+,KJo+,KTs+ (19.0% of hands). In a game, I would probably call with any pocket pair, most aces and better kings and that's it. If I was very confident that opp would shove absolutely any two cards in this spot then your 98s call is OK but I don't think we have evidence of that from the previous hands.
