What are we supposed to learn from this session? How to be a luckbox?

Yes, I'm extremely lucky and that's about it.

Plain and simple, this is what you should learn from a session like this:

1) Make a nice dump early. The second hand, when I'm called on the turn, I KNOW he's calling for my remaining $9. Why do I do it? I'm showing that I'm going to the felt with air.
2) I'm chatting a lot in the channel. Why? To see who is paying attention and who isn't.
3) I'm raising a wide range of hands (primarily in position), but sometimes OOP and showing mt hands. Why? I want to apply as much pressure as possible to my opponents and keep them guessing.
4) I'm folding some hands that I'dm raise when there are early limpers. Why? Because you have to have a 'feel' for when players are trying to trap you. There are several examples of this on this table.
5) I'm not folding to a re-raise. Why? Like the 86 hand you mentioned, this would be a really BAD fold. If I'm going to raise a hand like that OOP, and someone re-raises me in position, I have to call if I want to continue to apply the pressure to my opponents. If I fold, I'm saying - go ahead and come over the top of me and I'll fold. By calling, even if I don't like it, I'm continuing to keep them guessing because they have nearly NO idea what I'm calling with. If I happen to hit two pair on that flop or something, I'm likely stacking off against his over pair.
6) I raised primarily to isolate the loosest & worst player at the table when I had position, and the action dictated that I could get the hand HU'S. Count how many times I did that. Otherwise I primarily folded when I wouldn't have position on him (not always though).
7) As a result of my play I got people to play their hands sub-optimally. Why? They didn't know how to make the correct adjustements against my hands.
8) I overbet the pot with weak and strong hands, and only showed my overbet bluffs. Why? Because I want to overbet when I have a strong hand and have them think I'm bluffing in order to pay off my good hands.
9) I got otherwise weak/passive players to stack off against me with very marginal hands, such as the last hand example where a 14/2/0 player raised me with his pair of tens and called off his stack against my straight. There's no way in heck he is doing this against any other player.
10) The culmination of ALL my plays led to the final result. If you don't understand, I can explain further.
