Don't bother with let there be range, most consider it an extremely overpriced/unorganized book.

you're kind of asking how to play poker, which is a tough question to answer.

I would recommend reading a book on it. Small Stakes No-Limit Holdem by Ed Miller (and others) is a great place to start.

I'll help you out, what you're explaining here is the wrong way to look at a cash game. Start with a book.

Once you have the vocabulary down, you can start to rely on Google to go out and research situations yourself (usually on the 2+2 forums) or post your hands here using the proper terminology and listing all the proper context needed (stack size of opponents, your position, their style of play so far established, the actions of other players before you, the size of the pot so far, etc. etc.) However, without that vocabulary and knowledge of what you should have been considering it's very difficult to do this. Don't look at the other players at 1/3 as inspiration. They would likely move up if they were great players.

Poker is a complex game with literally billions of possible situations that you need decide correctly a good majority of the time to become a winning player. The reason people are questioning if you are trolling or not is that the question of "is there a better way to play" and "what may I be missing" is like telling a lifetime speaker of Japanese that you've watched a couple of anime movies and just wondering if you're missing anything else. While your intentions may be sincere you're up against a legitimate lifetime of possible learning about this game. The beginning player comes in wanting to learn "how to win at poker" but an actual student of this game realizes that's the wrong path, you need to learn how to think about poker before you'll ever learn to win any money at it.

Read SS NLHE by Ed Miller, helped my game tremendously

Books can only become outdated if you assume that your opponents are reading the same books, understanding what is taught, believe that you are following the same strategy, and can adjust to beat that strategy. That is of course bullshit at all levels.
