Is the river c/c standard here or am I loosing too much value by not betting?

I think it's better to bet & fold to a raise unless villain could bluff there frequently, which is very unlikely at this level.

I think you are losing value. I dont even know if you should call this river vs straight forward opponents. I like a bet to 80-90 and fold to a raise. 200nl players arent aggro enough to raise you out with anything you beat.

Bet/fold half pot. The stack sizes are a bit awkward, but it's your best option.

This bet is too big. Not only does it makes worse hands fold, it puts in 75 percent of eff stacks, making our fold when he raises wrong.

I think a bet of 50 is better. Its small enough to be looked up by hands we beat, and we can fold safely to his raise.

I agree with lucky. Betting an amount close to your turn bet will get a call from worse hands and also give you a chance to fold. By betting more, the opposite applies.
