$50NL: Learning to play position

[avfletch]

I've decided to spend a bit of time improving my game rather than grinding $100NL badly so I've dropped back to $50 and I'm making some questionable plays.

I've only been at the table an orbit or so, so no real reads. So first comment is this is too loose without reads preflop?

Given we called preflop we snap call such a dry flop right?

Likewise for such a small turn bet?

Do you check behind river?

As always, thoughts on all plays but please tell me WHY!
