are these supposed to be blocking bets or something?

Is this standard? I meant to raise the turn to 34 but typod and didnt notice. If he calls my bet I check behind all rivers? Given there are like a million draws he could have, what do I do if one of them hits and he leads, how much am I looking to call? Or do I just fold beacuse your typical 100NL isnt bluffing one of the other draws after I've showed so much strength?

This is usually either a marginal made hand or some kind of draw that's trying to get to the end cheap, so yeah they are a kind of blocking bet. You typically can't just call here, so the question is how much to raise. I would have raised a bit more since you're giving him 3:1. I would have gone to about 30-35.
