Hand #1:

Player is 15/12 over 150 hands, so he's not getting out of line. this is the first time he's reraised me.
I really didn't like calling in on river, but I figured it was probably a split, or he might be making a move on me with a weak hand, trying to push me off the king. Should I play this differently at any point? I guess bet/calling turn is a better option, but shouldn't i go broke here even if he has a set?

Hand #2:

villian is 23/14.. fairly loose

This is an ugly, ugly hand. I was running bad so it influenced my play here. I was playing this player on multiple tables, and I think i had been re-raising him more than a fair share of times. He hadn't called any of my raises this far however, and right after I raised I noticed he had odds to call for a set. So I bet, then on an extremly dry board he makes a smallish raise. Is there an argument for a fold here? or should I just push it in. If I'm calling, I just auto call / push any turn? I feel so bad about this hand.......

BTW- I don't think he's the kind of player too make smallish raises oop to find out where he is / see if middle pair is good.

Do I need to go broke here every time just so I don't get abused by other regulars?

There is a ton of draws on that flop he could be raising with, so I decide I'm going to look him up. The turn nothing changes, except my odds of winning are better. The river, he makes an absolute tiny value bet, and i think its clear i have lost the hand.

Hand 4: Final hand of the night..

villian is very tight 11/6 or something. I know that he semi-bluff's a lot of his draws however. I was planning on pushing a non club turn. the club comes, and i decide I beat nothing but AQ. Should I fold or stay in the hand?

I folded, and he said AcQ later.......
