Default 5/10 Reads. 3 hands on FT...

If anyone can tell me what they recommend in these spots I would appreciate it. I just moved to 5/10 and realized 2 things very quickly. 1. 5/10 is much more aggressive. 2. I could get away with simply out-carding people in 2/4, but at 5/10 it looks like what separates the winning players from the losing players is how good a players reads are. Which brings me to another question. What would be the best way to work on making better reads? Thanks!

Hand 1: wtf? fold to the reraise. Also you can bet smaller on flop.
Hand 2: I usually bet turn smallish but check is probably fine. I think a river call is good.
Hand 3: fine.

Hand 2 I enjoy betting the turn sometimes, but not always. If I do bet the turn, I'm like 2/3 and fold to a raise.

Hand 1: Why on earth would you call? I would bet less on the flop, too. Maybe $100

Hand 2: Depending on players, I might raise/call or raise/fold flop, but calling is okay.

I would bet the turn for sure, since I would pretty much hate to give a free card here, and KQ is unlikely, since you have two Ks.

As played, I would definitely bet the river for value. If I didn't, I think I'd have to call the river bet, since it's pretty unlikely anybody has two pair+ here, given the turn action.

Hand 3: Pretty standard, IMO.

Don't post results. Convert your hands.
