"Anyway the flop comes down xJQ rainbow. I now have Top pair top kicker. I  bet $1 desperatly trying to drive this irrational opponent off the  hand. Anyway, he reraises to $2 and I have just 2 dollars left now so I  re raise all in. He calls and flips over Queen Jack.... to make 2 pair.  Anyway I was lucky enough for the Turn and the River to bring King King  giving me a Higher two pair and took a nice $10 pot."

I bet the player you lucked on is thinking "how do I beat these damn donkeys". The way you played that hand was just awful.

What hands does he call all in that you can beat?

Lets look at the flop QJx, lets make hat x=2 for clarity

Flop QJ2.

Now I dont know jack about villian, but I expect him to call with the following hands that you can beat

QK - yes thats it.

And the hands he calls that you cant beat

QJ,QJ2,J2,QQ,JJ,22,AA,KK.

So next time you are considering making a shove (with one pair lol), pause and think about what hands he will call that you can beat.  And also I think the underlying reason for you shove is that you dont want to have to make decisions later in the hand when scare cards hit.
