I think playing overcards is costing me a bunch of money. Here are a few hands. Maybe you could give me some advice on what i should do?

I think i have to c-bet here. I seriously doubt this donk has the Jack. How should i respond to villain's raise? Assuming i call or raise, what should i do if i do not pair the turn?
#2:Here I have KQ instead of AK so i think there's much less chance i'm ahead. Villain is 27%VPIP 6.5%PF, 1.33 AF

Hero ???
Should i take 1 shot here? If called, should i just give it up, or keep betting?
#3: Here i'm in position, but i don't have oc's. I do have a straight draw+1 oc. I think i have to bet this right? If called, do i just check turn and cf, or what?

Again, assuming i don't hit the a or the k, do you think this is bet again, or c/f?
Hopefully this wasn't too long. Thanks a lot for your help!
