Default Flopping a pair OOP

I've been having trouble adjusting the way I play my marginal made hands in 6-max when I'm OOP. I played full-ring before, where you couldn't often get more than one street of value out of top pair. Balancing pot control and extraction OOP in 6-max is a problem for me at times.

******* Hand 1 ********

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $7</font>, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($22, 3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $14.5</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($51, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $33.5</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $33.5 returned to Button.

Results:
Final pot: $51

100bb stacks. Villain is multitabling reg who often does not pay attention to hands he plays.
My line looks bad to me, but I can't think of a better way to play it.


******* Hand 2 ********

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $5</font>, SB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($10.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $9</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($28.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $27</font>, Hero calls.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($82.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero is all-in $59</font>, Button folds.
Uncalled bets: $59 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $82.5

100bb stacks. Only a few orbits with villain but seems loose. Lead flop? As played c-rai river?


******* Hand 3 ********

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $2</font>, CO folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($8, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $6</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, Button folds.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($20, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $13</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $26</font>, Hero calls....?

100bb stacks. I have no idea what's going on here. What does villain have? Checking the turn for pot control bad? Bet more, fold to raise? If I bet more and villain calls, how do I play :spade" river? C-F? Villain is unknown.

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($14, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $8</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($30, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($30, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $15</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $45</font>, Hero ???

Should I have bet turn? Do I call this? Villain is unknown.
