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.

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.
