I would c-bet almost always, but my standard c-bet would be a touch more. 2nd barrell occasionally, but mostly looks good.

C-betting that flop against one player is not a leak, but as said previously, I'd prolly bet a little more. And I might call that river bet depending on your read. The flop board was pretty drawy and it looks like everything missed.

IMO a good percentage of the time, quick calls are draws and not made hands, and coupled with the check on the turn, that would be my guess, so i probably call the river, but folding the river is not bad either. otherwise, looks good, i c-bet that flop always as well

If I had a real hand I would bet more. Are you guys betting more on the flop to increase fold equity or to balance with the times that you have a real hand? If its the latter I don't think it matters here because this is a 6.50.

It does both, increases FE and because that's how much I'd bet with a real hand as well. You have a point regarding the alertness of your opponent at a 6.50.
