Hey all, brand new to cash games and would like some input on the following hands. Thanks.

Villain has been aggressive and making many large bets that have not been getting called down. I have been very tight.

It's difficult for me to not overplay overpairs and tptk coming from sngs. Am I losing value by not raising throughout the whole hand or should I be keeping it smaller with just an overpair?

H1 i think is fairly well played IMO.. might think about raising the flop to punish any drawing hands..

H2 im not really sure lol... theres a lot of limping/checks so 96 or flush draws are in play. i dont think its a mistake at all to lay this down.

H3.. i dont mind calling that flop cause i think its not in UTG+1 range, but i deffinately come over the top on the turn. IMO your in front and want to build the pot, maybe .50c? or are we keeping worse hands in the pot by calling again?? not sure about that bit..
