I wasn't planning on shot taking 200NL quite yet but I played a long session and as tables broke and we got down to 3 tables I decided to add a 200NL table and just play tight. I think I played the first 2 MUBSy but the last one I think plays itself. Thoughts?
HAND 1:
=======
PokerStars - $2 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
MP: 317.32 BB
CO: 111.27 BB - VP 35 / PR 27 / 3B 0 / AF 1 (26 hands)
Hero (BTN): 111.45 BB - VP 23 / PR 19 / 3B 14 / AF 5 (26 Hands)
SB: 76.7 BB
BB: 402.25 BB
UTG: 218.37 BB
SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ K♥
fold, fold, CO raises to 2.5 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 6.5 BB
Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 7♦ K♦ 7♠
CO checks, Hero bets 7 BB, CO raises to 23.27 BB, Hero calls 16.27 BB
Turn: (66.03 BB, 2 players) 3♠
CO bets 32.27 BB, Hero calls 32.27 BB
River: (130.56 BB, 2 players) 7♣
CO checks, Hero checks
This river check back in position is really soft. I would have gone for a smaller value bet at lower stakes. My reasoning at the time was that I'm only getting paid by the case K and getting stacked by the case 7 (probably not true if we size 1/3 - 1/2 pot). Also, the more I thought about it there are way more Kx and slow played AA with no reads than random 7x without even counting Hero calls from TT-QQ. And why would 7x check river without reads? If he has air will he call BS and come over the top? No reads so we play it probably too safe. How bad is this?

fold, BTN raises to 2.5 BB, Hero raises to 8.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 6 BB
Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) K♠ T♦ K♣

River: (30 BB, 2 players) 3♣

This one is REALLY MUBSy but it's against the same guy and I've been getting a ton of premiums so it looks like I'm 3 betting light when I'm not. I also want to continue to ISO against this guy who isn't folding vs 3 bets much. The flop seems like a way ahead or way behind spot. It's rainbow so there are no flush draws to charge and we block some straight draws. Seems like a fine check since we know this same V has been seen turning hands like Ace high into a bluff in large pots. Plan was to x/c down clean run outs. We just don't really want to see an Ace. I was surprised V didn't stab on the river and wanted to avoid playing a bloated pot OOP and putting stacks in play.

Flop: (313.71 BB, 3 players) 9♣ K♥ J♥
Turn: (313.71 BB, 3 players) 7♥
River: (313.71 BB, 3 players) 9♥
This is actually a different player to my immediate right in the CO but he's kind of playing the same way the old V did and my stats still look super aggro pre when in fact I'm just getting a ton of AQ+,QQ+ pre and not slow playing it.
Input on all 3 hands welcome.
