Villain is a 51/12 (with overall 3% 3b) recreational player over just 80 hands.

I think you can find reasons to raise the flop and turn, but in the spot I choosed not to, let Villain to bluff on future streets and keep his range "wide". I think his pf 3b range will be big broadway cards, big pairs, and some nice suited connectors. So when he barrels on the turn, he can have TPGK/TPTK, overpair, FD's. And he can have some completed flushes. I'm not sure that he will bet river with a hand like KQo with a spade. Now I think it's more likely.
Anyway... do you vbet here on the river?

Villain is a 44/6 (with 0,6 overall 3b) recreational player.
I think flop and river play is kind of standard. I usually fold in these spots like the river here, unless I have some read, that Villain are able to spew.
My main question is on the turn. Do you vbet here? In my opinion this is a thin vb, because V can call with any turned FD, any 2x, any 5x (these are most likely backdoor FD hands with a 5), any 6x, any 7x, big broadway hands (like AK, AQ, KQ, KJ). And of course he can have some 8x, and a few overpair. So I think he has more worse hands in his calling range which I beat than not.
Also how do you play here from the flop vs a standard regular?

Fold to FCB: 62. Fold to TCB:0 (4/4). Fold to RCB: 0 (1/1).

I cbet the flop, because of protection.
OTT: I think he is kinda strong. At least TPTK plus GS, or an overpair, flopped sets. I thought that a King is a scare card so he might fold his overpairs.
OTR: The backdoor flus completes, so if he still has an overpair to the flop, he should definetely fold here, so I fired.

Is it good vs regs? Or V range was too thin?
What do you think?

Villain is a rec with high VPIP. Loose-passive.
Do you try to barrel him off OTT?

I decided to take a free card, but river missed too. When he checks his range looks really weak, but I don't sure he can fold any pair. So I gave up. This is ok?

Villain looks like a reg. Kind of an agrressive one.
When he skip flop cbet, it looks he has some 2nd pair type hand, or A hi.
OTT my plan was to bet turn/river. I thought he don't fold any strong 2nd pair, weakTP, but maybe he can fold some bottom pairs, A hi-s.
This play is ok? Do you bet river? (or turn?)
Which cards are the best on the river if you bet? Or bet 100% ?

villain is a regular, who is also calls 3b ip @ BTN: 50%.
On this flop I cbet 100%. (This is good?)
What is the better play ott? b/f or ch/call?
I think if we ch/call turn, there is a good chance that Villain will bluff on the river.
If we b/f turn, Villain will call worse pps (so he can't check back with them). If I b/f turn, I b/f river too.
Also his bet ip vs missed cb stats in 3b pots: f:40, t:30, r:33.
Raise vs cbet in 3bp: 5.

In retrospect maybe b/f would be better, given Villains low betting tendency ip, after a check. I'm not sure.

Where I'm really unsure is the turn, and also preflop.

SB is a recreational.
First raisor and the caller are regulars.
Ingame I thought that I should 3bet with my hand, because it is too weak to call. In retrospect now I think maybe that was a bad thought process, because villains can easily call with KQ,AQ, some QJs... With 3b I can achive: fold out smaller pocket pairs, smaller suited connectors, and smaller Axs. With flat both players weak holdings are in. When the rec cold calls my 3bet, the regulars should call really wide there, so the regular should have a fairly wide range, around 9-10%.
The rec will have also a fairly wide range, at least 10%.
On the flop I think they can fold a lot of their holdings against a bet. I am not sure in the sizing, but 1/3psb shouldn't have to work all the time to be profitable, so I thought it's the best.
OTT: If I put a bet here, I go allin. When both player calls my flop bet, I thought I don't have too good chances to win immediately, so I choosed to check and see a free river.
