Default Some akward turn spots

Hand #1:

This spot is pretty wierd given stack sizes. Not that it's relevant since I have him covered, but I just lost the previous hand and was unable to rebuy in time for the next hand. Villain here is a loosish player, likely bad. Loose passive numbers, probably around 35/5. If we bet we obv have to call a shove, which is a sucky spot when it happens since we're crushed a good amount but are getting too good of a price to fold. Checking the turn is also somewhat akward, particularly if he makes a bet of over half the pot.

What is your plan on the turn? If you bet, how much? If you check, how do you respond a 1/2 pot or 3/4 pot bet?

Hero ???

Hand #2: Villain is 25/10 and seems to play decent. Other dude on flop was pretty bad fwiw.

If I bet I think it's definitely bet/fold vs this villain, since he really won't be shoving worse. Again, plan on the turn? If we check and he bets say half the pot or so, call and c/f the river? If he bets biggish I think I'd fold, but I'm not sure.

Hand #3: Villain is a loose passive type, about 40/10. Turn card is somewhat dirty, but bet/call is pretty standard I think? Just a little checkup.
