Bonus note; be patient in those small stakes cash games. Live in general is just so much slower that a lot of newer players tend to force themselves into playing too many hands just because they are seeing so many less hands per hour.

Live cash players in general are not very good at the lower stakes.

Those small buyin tournaments are probably not very beatable given how high the rake is and how small the fields are.

You can def play with a much smaller roll playing live if you want to go in as a tight solid player and at those stakes with the massive mistakes people make it will still be profitable.

Def agree to make it bigger preflop oops in these type of cash games. Like you mentioned people are defending their limp regardless. Push that preflop edge.

I think the bet on the turn as played actually gives you some more information which makes his hand look more like hearts. If he does have a set or like top two pair and you bet $50 into $188 he raises most of the time. Plus on the river you need to be corrected way less then 50% as someone mentioned above. $288 + $120 = $408. So your putting in $120 to win $408 which makes this call very profitable given his range.

Hand 1: I think as played and given the size of the bet you need to call the river.

Hand 2: when you call this preflop you can't just fold when you have an overpair. However, given your history with the player and your reads of how aggressive he is preflop I think I would prefer either a fold or shove with JJ.

Hand 3: I think this might be a fold... you saying that he is a weak player he probably isn't doing this with the only possible draw (JT, QJ, QT) or bottom / top pair. In theory he shouldn't have that many kings with a worse kicker then you either.

Hand 4: shoving the flop is fine. You can also call, but being out of position it makes things a little tougher. Shoving depends on if you think he is the type of player that will fold a hand like QQ or A9 this deep on this flop or not.
