1/2 Hollywood St Louis

Villain in question is a 60s white guy who has been quite loose but has also applied a fair amount of pressure. He is clearly a thinking player and fights for pots on coordinated boards but is far too loose. I.e. he will limp too much and call too many raises with weak broadways or low connectors, etc. He is probably a small winner in this game given he gives too much action to super tight players. Hero is young 20s white guy who has a fairly good image and has just recently stacked another player w/ JJ on JTx vs KQ.

1st Hand

Pre: 3 limps including V($750) and H($400) raises to $16 with AT in the CO, folds back to V who calls
Flop($39): AQ8 V cks, H bets $25, V calls
Turn($89): AQ8J V cks, H cks back
River($89): AQ8J4 V bets $50, H calls, V shows ??????

Since the last hand the V has moved to the seat directly on my left now and has made it clear with the table earlier he does not chop.

2nd Hand

Pre: Folds around to H($400ish) in SB w/ Q9 and makes it $10, V($900) in BB calls
Flop($20): QJ8 H decides to ck, V bets $15, H calls
Turn($50): QJ82 H cks, V bets $35, H calls
River($120): QJ827 H cks, V bets $60, H calls, V shows ??????

What do you guys think of how I played these two hands. Both calls or both folds? Both of these hands I had decent blockers I believe.

Which hand do you think is a winner and which is the loser?

Spoiler:
Hand 1 was the losing call as the V turned over KTo
Hand 2 was the winner as V turned over 67o

Didnt read spoilers.

H1 seems good and totally standard. Ott when we pick up a GS but the turn is a great card for his range, completing lots of two pair and straights we should check. We arent looking for 3 streets. River call wp. Good size pre

H2 seems really good as well, otf we flop tp + bdfd + gs on a board that heavily favors his range where he is going to mega bluff a lot on multiple streets and we cant get 3 streets of value, we can get raises liberally otf and be put in a bad spot. River i call too.

If you got owned in one or both hands, kudos to him for sucking out. But i think both hands were played very well

I did read before posting but villain is going to have a lot of ways to beat you hand 1 and his sizing is begging for a call

Hand 2 is a much safer run out

Yeah I can agree with hand 1 is a bit more iffy with the board but I think with the blocker I still have to call
