Live $1/2 - 2 Marginal spots vs Agression

hey everyone, my first RIO post. I am currently playing $1/2 and $2/5 NL live cash games full-time.

Live 1/2 NL ($400 Max Buy) During a small-town tourney series.

Hand 1:
Hero(MP) $400
V1(UTG) $350
V2(UTG1) $90

-Hero has LAG image vs table, but table is Weak Loose Passive overall.
-V1 early 30s rec player. Only other Aggro player at table. So far Vs Hero have had 2 large pots. One where H squeezed the BTN vs Limp + his $10 utg straddle, V checkraised a Q74 flop and tabled K7 after hero folded. A few hands later, the V Raise-Called vs my Straddle 3b, and then stacked off on T high board to Hero ATs.
-V2 is middle aged weak player who has VPIP of nearly 100% so far and is playing a weak-loose game. No real history other than watching the previously mentioned hands and also folding vs H raises a lot.
-
Hero has QhQd
V1 Straddles to $5. Ep Limps, V2 Limps, Hero raises to $25, V1 cold-calls and V2 calls.

Flop: Kd 6c 3h
Pot: $83

V1 checks, V2 Bets All-In ($65), Hero Calls. V1 Tanks for about 30 seconds before raising to $165. He has $155 behind.

Hero ? ? ?

Hand #2.
Hero (btn) $400
V1 (UTG) $1k
V2 (Co) $280
V1 is a middle aged wealthy Filipina woman who has around 1k in front of her and plays relatively Nitty and snug w big hands. Always is worried about the other people having the nuts against her.
v2 is the same middle aged man from hand before with around $280 after rebuying 3x.

Hero Kh8h
V1 r $12, utg2 C, V2 C, Hero C.
Pot: $50

Flop: 6hJc7s

V1 B $65, V2 C, H C.
Pot: $145

Turn: Th

V1 B $115, V2 Allin $200. Hero ???

My thoughts:

Hand 1: V1 is known to make moves against me and also isnt very strong. When he makes this raise here and DOESNT shove, I feel like it is often somewhat weak as he would most likely Put it in with Sets and 2p vs me as he knows im fairly aggressive and wants to force me to call off instead of see a turn. When he 1.5x click back here it looks like a weak-iso attempt where he knows i might be calling wide vs an all-in and is putting pressure on me with a marginal hand. I know sometimes im against a King here but what i am trying to deduce is how often he has anything worse than QQ. By his raise sizing, i almost feel like i have a bit of FE vs him and that he would probably call with $% vs raise so its hard to have him on any air here.

Hand 2: OTT, i am fairly sure the V1 has a strong hand such as AA-QQ, all sets and sometimes AJ. Her line of B/B into 2+ shows she isnt bluffing here and has something she is betting for value and also protection. She is not the Check raising type so i have seen this strong line before from her with good hands. V2 is wideopen here and im not too worried about him at this point as I have no FE vs him and put him on a pretty solid range of 2pair type hands incl the T or possible FD+Pair, as he neglected to raise on the flop. I picked up a lot of outs OTT and my original plan was to call Vs V1 B and V2 F. Now that it has gone Bet, Raise - i am in an interesting spot.

I will post the results later on.
