Default 50NL: I get taken to valuetown without a whimper

Main villain UTG: 50/21/5
Unimportant villain CO: 57/5

I find this kind of thing happens quite a lot: I know I am being taken to valuetown by a better hand and yet -

a. Have a decent price on each street to call
b. Lack the balls to try to take it away on turn or river

Is this a spot I need to be playing hot-shot poker and making fancy moves/steals etc., or is it ok to just keep the hand under control, take the odds being offered and just move on if I don't improve?

Comments on preflop also appreciated.


Thanks.
