sounds like the sweat was golden. Working your way through robb's list, through value vs bluff etc = all good.
inning here more than the 23-ish% you need. I see crazy flush draw KcJc/Tc9c type of hands here just as often as A9-AJ and the few you're scared of.
cool, i hadn't finished my post before writing my response = i feel solid on fish ranges 
QhQs - pre-flop good, and i'd range him at about atc. Turn is the worst card possible so you can fold to the raise please. I hate check-anything on this board though, so bet-fold is good. I even like the sizing. nh.
8d8h. turn you can shove, obviously you're calling on the river. His range is again closer to ATC, flop you could probably jam as 3b, but i prefer the call by a long margin. Nish is right though, if you think you're behind then it becomes more interesting = calling flop raises then folding turns can become a big leak. Anyway, on the river he has two pairs here a lot, as well as the occasional underset and straight.
2h2s. I like pre-flop and flop, obviously 3b shove on the turn and suck out if he has 8J, he has QT etc here a bunch. You can also call the turn i guess if you're a nit, but that's gross cos then you're folding the river. This hand illustrates an interesting point relating to opening low pocket pairs, you hit your set and c-bet and villain folds just like they would vs your KJs on K94rb cos villain is a set-miner just like we are.
KhKs. pre-flop good. Flop good. Turn is a pretty horrible card. River and there is no way he is imaginative enough to be value-betting 99 as often as it might seem. Basically you have to soul-read here, folding is probably never awful but this hand is fine for a tiny bet-fold too cos he's never raising as a bluff, even if you bet $1.30.
QsQd. Bet flop harder cos his calling range isn't changing vs 3/4 pot or vs pot. Turn he has AK/AQ/AA/77/flushes/A9s so this is a call but you shouldn't enjoy calling it!
