Okay, I've been meaning for the last 1 1/2 years to put in a chunk of cash hands, so...better late than never. My PAHUD isn't up and running yet, so no great reads (which obv. makes a big difference). Curious as to what the thinking is as to what "standard" lines are for any of these hands against somewhat typical opponents at NL $200.
Hand 1:
MP seems to open wider, and button hasn't yet done anything funky. Hero's multi-street plan? (if it involves something other than folding)

Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks,
CO bets $14, Hero (?)
Hand 2:
I've raised this limper a number of times, he limps some stronger hands (completed AK in SB with limper in), and does some odd funky stuff (i.e. is showing he's more apt to playback at me).

Do I still raise PF here and inflate the pot? Flop/Turn/River bet sizing? When I have a big hand I'm trying to find that balance b/n betting small enough to get paid/keep someone in, and not giving too much of reverse implied odds/ensuring I get paid properly from worse hands that will pay off.
Hand 3:
UTG seems to be raising semi-wide, and is laying down to aggression (I think I've 3-bet him 3 times already across tables and he's folded so far).

Too loose PF to call? Flop lead okay? What's SB's likely range of worse hands that C/C that flop and checked Turn & River? River bet-sizing? Bet River and insta-muck to any raise? I didn't have much clarity in any part of this hand.
Hand 4:
3-bettor has been aggressive so far (not many hands) - I think he's 3-bet 2 or 3 times in the ~10 minutes I've been with him. I've been opening a lot of pots and playing aggressively as well. My recollection is SB is pretty loose/foolio (in a loose-passive sort of way).

Is this just spew to call the 3-bet with suited connector here OOP of initial 3-bettor? Is the Turn bet-sizing okay?
Hand 5:
I believe the two callers in this hand are the looser-calling type (PF).

I don't like risking the free card, and I don't like betting, getting called, and seeing close to half the deck on the Turn.
Hand 6:
This opponent has been coldcalling some raises, 3-betting a fair amount, raising postflop in spots, etc. - I'm suspecting he's a floater/playmaker on some boards.

When I pick up a draw on the Turn and this player small raises, is this a good time to mimic a King-holding, or is it a bit spewey here? What about the Turn bet-size if I'm going to lead as played? Should I check Turn and take a different line against this player?

Okay, that was long, ty in advance for any responses.
