Hand 1: First time playing with villain, seen him raise/3bet button frequently couple hands where I open he 3bet I fold, then I open him 3bet otb and folded to my 4bet, then I seat changed to his immediate left folds to him in the SB he calls I make it 50 he folds(I don't chop), Very next hand: (I have about 1500 behind vill covers)
Folds around to villain otb he makes it 45 I have QQsc in the SB make it 160 he calls
Flop:889dd
Me: 160
Vill: ~390
Me: thoughts?
Hand 2: Villian is very solid player who I have played with before but not anything worth noting.
Im UTG make it 35 with QQ folds to fish who calls otb villain makes it 195 in the BB I call, fish shoves for 35 more villain and I call.
Flop: k73dxx
Villian: Chk
Me: Chk
Turn: 10d
Villian Chk
Me: thoughts on his range based on action so far, then whats your turn play?
Thanks!!!

Reason: wrong info
Hand 1, go with it. There is plenty he could be playing back at you with that you crush.
Hand 2, agree on checking turn. I'm calling a 2x river for around 50% pot. Against unremarkable TAG players, that is usually AQ or JJ. If he tried to trickily play AK or KK against you, then note it and move on to the next one.
h1 - agree on raising. folding seems to tight and calling sucks. what about a cib to sth like 740? I think i prefer this option to shoving.
h2 - same as stated before. cb turn, call riv
Hand 2 I'd bet the turn half pot both to protect equity from Ax and JJ and get value as well. If he's never betting worse than QQ then why are we giving a free card. I feel a 1/2 pot bet can get called by jj here and your more likely to get called with a Stab on the turn then one on the river IMO.
