still kinda feeling my way from tournament play to cash play.

Hand 1
Ok with the bet on the turn? Can you find a bet on the river?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed)

Staresy ($23.65)
UTG ($12.65)
UTG+1 ($24.75)
MP1 ($15.30)
MP2 ($17.80)
MP3 ($19.25)
CO ($22.55)
Button ($46)
SB ($8.45)

Preflop: Staresy is BB with 5

, 5

.
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, Staresy checks.

Flop: ($1.25) 8

, 6

, A

(5 players)
SB checks, Staresy checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

Turn: ($1.25) 4

(5 players)
SB checks, Staresy bets $0.75, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, Button folds, SB calls $0.75.

River: ($2.75) 6

(2 players)
SB checks, Staresy checks.

Final Pot: $2.75

Hand 2

The re-raise is so crappy that I have to call (esp. with position) - this ok thinking?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed)

Staresy ($25.05)
SB ($10.70)
BB ($24.75)
UTG ($14.80)
MP1 ($17.80)
MP2 ($19)
CO ($22.55)

Preflop: Staresy is Button with A

, 7

.
4 folds, Staresy raises to $0.75, SB raises to $1.25, 1 fold, Staresy calls $0.50.

Flop: ($2.75) 4

, A

, T

(2 players)
SB checks, Staresy checks.

Turn: ($2.75) 7

(2 players)
SB checks, Staresy bets $1, SB calls $1.

River: ($4.75) 2

(2 players)
SB checks, Staresy bets $4, SB calls $4.

Final Pot: $12.75

Hand 3

In a tournament, I would probably raise here against one weak limper, esp. OTB. In a cash game, is it worth it?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed)

Staresy ($33.45)
SB ($14.30)
BB ($24.80)
UTG ($10.10)
UTG+1 ($11.25)
MP1 ($14.95)
MP2 ($25.70)
CO ($4.55)

Preflop: Staresy is Button with A

, 6

.
3 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.75, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.50.

Flop: ($1.75) 6

, 3

, A

(2 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks.

Turn: ($1.75) 7

(2 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks.

River: ($1.75) 3

(2 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks.

Final Pot: $1.75

Hand 4

Opp. was limping all sorts of crappy hands. Seemed to like the two-s00ted combinations. Do I give him a chance to bet on the turn, like my continuation bet got picked off or do I not give him credit for this level of thinking and bet out again?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed)

, T

This isn't a T vs $ issue. It's a money depth issue. With lots of money behind A7o sucks donkey balls.

I get what you are saying here Fnord. Just seems a bit tame to pass up a hand where I'm certain that I am ahead pre-flop and I fancy my chances at post-flop play.

Are you saying that with such deep stacks, I don't need to force this kind of play where my edge is marginal?

I think you should raise more preflop. My standard opener at 25nl is 1.25. Chips in cash games aren't quite as valuable as chips in tournaments, so don't worry about burning a few on a PFR.
