Not the most interesting hands, but I didn't play many, so this is all I have.
Hand 1:
Hero ($400)(UTG): TAG, probably nitty image. Have played very few hands
V (covers)(Button): TAG. mid 50s. Most active player at the table but doesn't seem particularly tricky or thinking. C-bets most of the time. Have seen him double barrel and then fold to a raise. calls too many raises preflop. Not particularly sticky facing aggression from what I have seen.
Hero is dealt K
Q
.
Hero raises to $12. Only V calls on button, blinds fold.
Flop: ($24) Q
A
2
Hero checks, V checks.
A bet here is just a bluff. V may bet with worse. I plan to check and evaluate.
Turn: ($24) 6
Hero checks, V checks.
I'm pretty sure I'm ahead here but can only realistically expect 1 street of value if I am lucky. I think I am more likely to get a street by checking turn and betting river. Plus it gives villain a chance to bluff the turn after I check twice.
River ($24): 9
Hero bets $20, V folds.

Hand 2:
V (UTG) ($200) V limps a fair bit but is a super nit. limp/folds a lot. Doesn't call many raises. Doesn't raise post flop without something resembling the nuts. Is not sticky post. Tight/passive but limps too much preflop. Not a thinking player, usually just assumes whoever is betting has something good.
Hero (UTG+1) (covers): TAG/nitty image.
Hero is dealt K
9
V Limps, Hero raises to $12. folds back to V who calls.
ranging V at 22+, AJ+, KQ, KJs+
Pre is bad here, should be a fold. A bit of boredom tilt. It is the best hand I've seen in an hour.
Flop ($24): 4
5
6
V checks, hero bets $10, V calls quickly.
I decide on a really small C-bet here. My reasoning is that he is probably not folding an overpair or a high club to any bet here, but will likely fold any of his broadway hands that do not contain a club to a very small bet here. SO I bet obnoxiously small.
Turn: ($44) 6
V checks, hero checks
I considered barreling like $30 here, but decided if I did that I would have to fire river as well, and could end up value owning myself if he has like JJ or TT here.
River ($44): 6
V checks, Hero checks.
I think I should have bet this river. He calls with all of his PPs but folds all of his missed Club draws. I can probably get away with a $20 bet here and it doesn't have to work very often to be profitable. I was kinda autopilot checking down after my c-bet got called down.

Hand 3:
Hero (UTG)($400): TAG Image. still nitty
V (UTG+1) ($170): Super nit. his pf raising range is probably QQ+, AK. very cautious post flop. I've seen him fold AA to a single flop bet. Limps a decent amount and defends his limps reasonable often but very fit/fold post.
Hero is dealt 2

.
Hero limps, V raises to $10. 4 callers in between, Hero calls $10.
Flop ($60):2
5
6
Hero bets $30. V folds. LP calls all-in for $27. everyone else folds.
MHIG is good at showdown. V says "oh whew, I folded QQ". I believe him
pf is standard.
meh, I didn't think V would be able to get away from an overpair given his stack size. I bet smallish to induce a shove which was probably optimistic. Given shallow effective stacks, I like a check/raise better here I think.

Hand 4:
Hero (Button)($450): Still nitty, this is fairly soon after the 22 hand and that had been my only aggressive action in about 45 minutes.
V (MP)(covers) same villain from hand 1. active TAG. His standard open had been $10-$15.
Hero is dealt A
4
1 EP limper, V opens to $7, 2 loose passive callers, Hero calls $7, both blinds call, EP limper calls.
Calling is ok here, but as soon as I called, I wished I'd 3-bet. I think it's an easy squeeze spot to pick up the $25 out there. V makes a "pot builder" sized raise and is almost never defending to a 3-bet in this spot. The too passive nits that called the $7 are unlikely to continue against serious action either.
Flop ($45) 3

K
6 checks to hero who bets $35. everyone folds.
Worked out anyway. Once the whole table checks I just need to hope nobody has a 3 or a strong King. I can probably get away with a little less here, but given my image, I think the stronger bet actually gets folds from some weaker Kx hands that the blinds could have.
