I think this is a mid/high stakes live thing. In smaller games they're still pretty passive. In bigger games they are still loose/terrible. They just just get more stabby, have a sense of attacking weakness and will donk or check/raise dry flops on a bluff. Also, I've learned to recognise the Asian nit sub-species that you will find mixing in with the Asian GAMB00L and Asian LAggs in California.

I think it's more of a money thing. People tend to avoid putting a lot of money into a bluff. Particularly when you're over a buy-in deep.

This is a tough one. Maybe it's because I almost never get to the river with money behind. Usually by that point hands are pretty well defined and they'll put the rest in. Unless they're trying to play well and think I play well, then they'll make laydowns against me, but at that point we're playing each other....

Since you look a little nitty and probably are one of the 1-3 tightest guys at the table, this will happen. If you have a run of cards or otherwise change up your image you will get more action. Also, they're even tighter post-flop when you 3-bet them! Just have to blow 'em off a couple hands, take the free money, then you will widen up their felt range.
