I don't mind hand 1, and yeah, lead turn hand 2.

In hand 3, if you check and someone bets, are you planning on c/r or flat calling? Look at the board, it is entirely drawless except for JT. Put yourself in villain's shoes, then --- if I was villain, and I bet that flop in position and get a flat caller oop, I'm essentially shutting down unless I hit two pair or trips. If I get c/r on the flop, I'm probably folding whatever I have, because I raise AQ, KQ very often and you are dealing with a whole lot of limpers.
