Please comment on the river of these hands.

HAND 1: Vilain is 45/18/1.3 after 300 hands. He likes to call but has not made any undue moves on me except one hand when he bluffed me off of the better ace and showed. This hand was before that though.

I checked the flop to guage the action before committing.

HAND 4: Vilain is the same as the last one. After 2 checks can I value bet my lowly 2s? Tiny, tiny pot.

All these were at the same table in the first 45 mins. I did play a lot stronger in similar situations later so maybe am making this post to stop myself playing so weak in the future. Feel free to laugh, name call and lambast in ever conceivable way at my bad play!
