Some $10NL 6 Max hands

I play SNG's so naturally i suck at post flop. Decided to take a break so i could play like lagtard (i think i ran like 35vpip 18pfr over 100 hands i played).
I sometimes mix in some $25NL FR but decided to goof off at 6max. In the future i want to learn to be a good cash game player , so bear with me if i played these hands awful.

Hand 1: Loose raisor/player , only thing i've seen him showdown is garbage.

Hand 3: I should have been betting bigger on flop/turn to get the big stack more commited , right? I guess i was hoping one of them had a Ace (wtf did they have than?? lol) and would re raise me. Value bet too much??? WTF is the short stack folding here??

every hand is good but bet river in hand 4

1) fold preflop
2) good
3) good
4) bet river

Why bet the river on hand 4? What is going to call us that we beat that calls a reraise on the turn? Or is just because it's $10NL and I will get value from weaker hands?

Nevermind I'm stupid...i get it now lol.
I guess the reason i didn't was i was dead set on my read that he had a overpair and not A-10/K-10/Q-10/J-10....
I forgot that i still have a better 2 pair than all those hands.
Obviously we bet/fold the river right? (assuming he c/rai us)

this is NL10 we are betting the river and calling any push

At what $ Level do we start giving our opponents credit for having some kind of knowledge of poker , or i guess a brain for that matter?
$25?$50?
Generally when i play cash it's @ $25NL , but now i have a roll for $50NL so when i decide to start grinding the cash tables i think i will start at $50NL , which is why im wondering.

I play at 50 and it is very surprising how dumb people are. Even the smart ones are predictable.

on the third hand bet close to a psb on the flop becuause if someone has an ace or qj..even a Tx--KK, then they call a psb the same frequency as a 1/2 pot bet. turn and river are read-dependent but generally ok (prob 1/2 pot on river). btn folded a draw like qj/97.

4th hand, raise $2+ on turn fast. river check is ok with ur read. two pair is coutnerfeit and no value from draws.

Being a full ring freak I am stuck with reading hand 4.

Are those suggesting betting the 4th hand doing it because we fold better hands? i.e. higher pairs? By betting again strongly I think we are repping FH or str8's on this board and might fold a lot of hands but anything that shoves over that is surely beating us and the only reason I can see calling is because the pot will be so big???????????

They all seem ok with your read. Hand 1 I wouldn't normally reraise KJs but if he's such a crazy donkey then sure, hand 4 if your read is overpair then the river check is ofcourse fine. But given his line I think it's unlikely he actually has an overpair, more like A9/AT/KT or something. If you bet river and get raised, fold.

1) I wouldn't 3 bet this even if he's a loose raiser. There are better hands that play better in this spot, KJ is too easily dominated even if he's calling you light. Also if I am 3 betting i'm making it larger like 1ish.

2) I play the same. 3 bet size is good.

3) I also play the same. I would c/r river if I was 100% sure that one of them would bet it, but since you can't count on that obviously bet bet bet is good.

4) I would raise a little more on the turn to like 2 or 2.5 but river is fine if you're going with you're read. I wouldn't say that a min raise is always a big pair though. At these stakes a min raise is a lot of the times their standard raise. There so much goofy shit going on I wouldn't use preflop bet sizing tells unless you have a large sample.
