You didn't tell us what you had first and third hand.

For hand 2, checking is okay considering the dry board, but I still think betting flop is better w/o reads. As played I call river, this is a worse set or two pair as often as a backdoor flush and you have to be ahead barely a quarter of the time.

Assuming no reads, AA in all the hands, I call every single one of them.

note: I had AK in first hand and AQ in third

Re: $50 NL Gouging my eyes out
 

second call is trivial due to pot odds. first i fold due to reverse implied odds against button. i'd call against lone UTG. you're button in the third? i'd have called preflop at 50nl, and probably check the flop. if he has a worse hand he has 2-3 outs. don't overplay your hand.
