Some hands from NL100

Hi there.
Just moving up from NL25 to NL50, but this NL100 table seemed pretty nice (it wasn't, still made some $$$).

Is this basically okay on NL100?

Had been raising about 1 hand per orbit, mostly from the CO, and never gotten called before, then these 5 hands came up:

One hand after the one before. The original raiser is the one from the previous hand. Both players had a PFR of 3 at that point.
What made me want to play was:
a) their position
b) CO's short stack
Had this been NL25, i probably would have 4-bet to maybe 25BB, driving out MP and calling COs push / folding to a push from MP.

There's not much about this one that i like.
OOP, no hand, unknown villain, strange play on my side.
Thought for a second and decided not to c-bet and probably c/f. Mistake? On NL25 i guess i would have made a c-bet.
With the jack on the turn i felt pretty sure that a) i was ahead and b) he'd fold to a bet.
Should i still bet out, with the flop checks given as played?

CO had T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and LOST (-$30.00)
Hero had T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (three of a kind, Tens) and WON (+$36.00)

Thought for quite a few seconds about betting on the flop. Pretty much everyone except from CO was a nit.
CO was running at 29 VPIP over a very small sample.

Should i bet more on the turn?

Hands 1-3 are standard...

Hand 4 - What the heck man, just cbet that flop...

Hand 5 - Looks good. I usually bet this flop after it's checked to me. As played your turn bet should be larger. Good river bet.

I would bet a little more on hand #1 - it's a drawy board and people aren't going to fold any draw or a queen to a PSB at these levels.

Friendly suggestion for the future--don't post 5 hands per thread. One or two (max) will do fine and you'll get more and better resposnes.

I 4bet to put CO AI in hand 3.
