How to get max value oop against these two different villain types?

I have been trying to improve my exploitative play to get more value in low stakes live poker. When reflecting on my hand history, I wonder how I should play differently against V1 and V2.

V1: OMC reg. Someone who does not 3-bet enough pre (not 3! with AKo often), who does not get thin enough value on a A-high board with AK, who does not like to bet with a draw, who tends to overfold, who does not like big pots.

V2: 30ish reg. Someone who VPIPS a bit too wide, probably 50% in LP, who is very stabby in position, who is not scared of big pots. V2 has a fold button, so he is not a whale.

Hero: unfortunately hero has the image most difficult to get value hands paid. Hero is female. Hero is aggressive, if not too aggressive.

Hand 1
1/2. V1 OMC was the effective stack with 200.
V1 opened from UTG+1 to 8. One LP flat. Hero called with 55 from SB.

Flop (26):Qc 6c 5h
Hero checked, V1 bets 12, LP folded, hero called. HU.

Turn (62) 6h
OK now we boat up. against this OMC, is XR too scary and he might throw away his Qx?
Let's say we led the turn bet, and OMC called. River came a 9d. Do we think V1 can call a pot-size bet OTR with Qx?
Shall we adjust our action line if we were against V2?

Hand 2
Hero was the effective stack with 300.
An EP limped, V2 opened OTB to 12, hero flat with A5ss from BB. Limper called. Three ways to see the flop.

Flop (37) 2d 4d 9s
X, X, V2 bets 25, hero called and HU.

Turn (87) 3s
With a made straight, and a nut flush draw, with 265 behind, what's our best strategy on this turn & river?
How to adjust if V1 was the player OTB?

Thanks everyone in advance.
