Dealt 
in the SB. Table LAG raises to 20, the TAG pro that got me awhile back with his 8753 garbage raises button, I repot to $255 with about $650 behind
TAG on button calls, creating close to a 1:1 SPR
flop
I bet pot, he shoves and goes once
Turn
River
He announces flush, I flip over the nuts and get the full double!

That board was very favorable for my hand, including it pairing, given what his range should be
True, but based on your description of the villain that'll play basically any 4 cards, I wouldn't be so sure

He is actually super nitty. That one hand was an anomoly for him based on seeking revenge against the other pro Charlie
@Payback saw him at Bellagio last week when were were in LV.
I no longer call July 4th "Independence Day."
It is now officially known as Martino Day.

See a flop holding 
Flop is
Checked to button who bets 50, I call, shorty check-shoves for $125, button calls with about 125 behind, I rip it. They only go once
Shorty has a set of 10's, no blockers. Button has a set of 5's, no blockers
I whiff my draws

Do you work odd hours? Are night games easier than day ones? I always thought it might be difficult on a relationship if one works during the day and the other at night.

Some short stacked guy got up from the table in the middle of a hand, dealer mucked him and he threw a stink
Floor ruled his hand dead, guy started getting verbally abusive towards dealer after this, myself and a couple of other guys shut that down real quick
He wound up taking his remaining $115 and left lol

Get it in with a set vs three short stacks. Biggest stack only goes once and flopped nut straight. We pair river

Multiway to a Q77 flop and it's checked around
I have KJJ8 one suit. Turn J, we all check. River J, I bet 25, guy with QQxx just calls? Wish I had bet the turn behind lol

WHEEE! THANK U POKER JEEZUS!
Good on you.
While it's the right thing to do, it's also extremely intimidating to be the first person to speak up when someone gets nasty with the dealer. In your spot it can also be -EV, since these players are usually the ones who are shoveling chips your way.
I don't get the turn check at all. I understand (but don't agree with) the logic behind the flat on the river. If he raises and gets 3-bet, that's very often 77xx or JJxx.
Many bad players can't raise-fold, so they just flat.

I can't stand those who abuse frontline workers
As far as my turn check, I figured I had the hand locked with jacks full, wanted someone to make 8's full on the river and pay me off

Does this mean you will be attending someone else's parking lot strip show?
Sorry, I meant that I don't understand why queens full checked the turn. He should have bet that 100%.
Yup. The guy that verbally abused the dealer has the stage tonight as punishment.
