The lower the stake and the higher the rake the less BvB play matters from a “where is the EV coming from” POV. Can play pretty straightforwardly pre in both positions (tight in this context).
When deeper, limping tons makes sense with a healthy mix of limp/fold, limp/call, limp/rr

For those that grind sims/study lots of theory, I would implement the heuristics you pick up.
For those that don’t, I would pick one size and x/up to to range on a lot of boards.
So you can do 33%/check on boards like K-7-3 and 50%/check on 8-4-2.
Play a pure strategy.
Probe aggressively when flop goes x/x as people tend to overstab with their value and don’t xb enough draws/made hands.
Follow through with your good bluff candidates when called, even after overbetting.
Implement overbets when probing and delay probing
x/r aggressively if you x a ton otf
put the stack in more often than you’re comfortable with (especially as the aggressor).

Completely depends. Try to direct your focus to the heuristics in your study.
More often than not good bluff/blockers = big sizing
Bad bluff/blockers = smaller sizing

pick up postflop plus, gto wizard, or some other gto trainer and hammer bvb
it’s inexpensive

Focus on making the highest EV play on every street if that helps.
For those that aren’t playing nl50 for the $ passing up marginal spots on earlier streets makes less sense as it hinders your growth in a variety of ways
