In HAND 3 I prolly should of bet the flop, in the other hands I was okay with checking/calling, but do you think another course of action would be more profitable?

Play the hands faster, especially hand 3. You should not be slowplaying bottom 2.

Re: 3 hands How do I extract more value?
 

Your not going to get any money if your opponents don't have a peice of the board. Not much you can do.

In hand 3 I would bet that flop 100% of teh time. You have a good hand, but it is not unbeatable, no sense in letting Qx see a free turn card.

LOL, maybe!

1 is fine

Yeah no kidding.

Can YOU think of a better way to get money in the pot?

Slowplaying in spots like this is just not a good idea. Bet right out. People will call. If they don't, they probably weren't going to call becuase you checked the flop, and if anything they're less likely to make you for trips when you come out firing.

This is standard stuff.

Beat me to it.

BTW - Hand 3 is not an extract value hand, it is a vulnerable bottom pair hand, always play it fast.

Do you bet the flop without the Ace of clubs?
