25NL how do I get value?

I need som help with my bet sizing when I'm most likely ahead and need to extract the max value.
I've noticed that 25NLFR is super nitty compared to 10NLFR, and that ppl of course aint paying you off as lightly.
I've tried smaller vbets, but sometimes I feel that I'm losing some value because of it.
Feel free to comment on everything else if you wish.

lol someone wasn't paying attention Anyways...

1) Shove river.
2) Raise to like 10 or 12.
3) Def raise the flop to like 3.

oops I meant I just joined.
Anyways I was thinking about my flop play in hand 2, is calling really the best move when it's a 5way pot?
At the time I was thinking that a raise in that spot would accomplish nothing more than 4 folds.

problem is you could lose all value if a 4th heart falls and a set or small flush gets scared.

this and with 5 people there's an ok chance that someone has hit a smaller flush.
