[Supwithbates]

i just tooka shotat 25nl and it didn't go too well... I feel like I'm getting floated a lot, and everyone plays every single hand as if it were a float (it goes raise/call, check/bet/call, check/check, bet/???)
Every time I look them up they're donkslowplaying something like AA, but my top pair top kicker is no good.

Like this hand(not on my computer ssono hh):
I raise AJhh, tilting shortie calls, 30/15 SB min3bets, I call, shortie calls. Flop comes jack high, SB minbets .25 into 5$, I raise to 5$ for information (Is this wrong? I didn't have much of a read), tilting shortie calls allin, SB calls???
Turn goes check check
river blanks, I still have TPTK, SB bets 1.5 into 20, I call obviously, he flips up KK...

even when i hit a hand i feel like im floated off my hand
I raise ATdd OTB, SB shortie 10$ stack calls, BB folds.
Flop T88r, SB bets .50 into 2.25, I raise to 3, SB calls. Turn Kh, SBchecks, I check (should I bet here? it commits me to call a shove vs his stack). River Jh, SB leads for 3 into 9... I havetofold at this point, but I'm not sure if and where I went wrong...
