I mean "give up" is relative. You're in position. If your flop C-bet bought you 2 cards 'cause Villain with check to you OTT, then that's great.
Just remember that unless you have a note on Villain that they bluff... don't assume they bluff.
Play cautiously on the River if they bet, and don't feel like you have to fire a bet on the river when you've missed and they check to you.

The first rule of bluffing is that you never try to bluff someone who can't be bluffed.

If you've seen them call down with a 1-pair hand, then they can't be bluffed off of 1-pair hands. Don't try to.
If you've never seen them fold a pair (or reasonably surmised they probably did), then don't try to bluff them off a pair.

If you have a strong reason to believe they've folded a 1-pair+ hand to pressure, then make a note of it, along with board texture (dry, wet, super wet). Maybe their aware of board texture, but maybe they just didn't have the hand you put them on.
If they can be bluffed, then you're OK to try to bluff them maybe once an hour or every 90 minutes or so. Bluffing isn't a big part of 2NL. Many Villains call way too light, and can't be bluffed off any 1 pair+ hand.

This is WHY you ALWAYS value bet at the micros. It goes hand-in-hand with the (almost) never bluff rule.

Way too many Villains bluff way too often at the micros, and the reality is that calling down on the river with bluff catchers is usually not the worst thing you can do with your money.

Often, it's pretty bad. Villains can make hands, too, after all. But just the same, if you do it against the right people and not the wrong people, then you can print money calling down smallish river bets light.

It depends on the Villain. There wont be one correct answer to this.

Against the player pool, just play ABC, "face up" poker and you'll do OK. Once you've established a read on a particular villain, then you don't use the player pool read on them ever again, and you adjust to beat them as an individual.
