Hey, I'm attempting to start back up with cash again, been playing tourneys for a while. I'm posting these hands because I think I played some of them awkwardly/badly and want to improve, so please offer constructive advice only: )

Hand #1- Villain in this hand had been very aggressive (I.E. in 3 orbits had open shoved his entire stack a few times...), didn't want to bloat a pot OOP against him. He liked to bluff a lot; I easily thought he could have 2 3 off here. I'm mainly wondering about how I should play on flop/turn. I was basically planning on calling down all but the worst cards. River as played I knew I had him beat, as there's no way he ever doesn't overbet shove a straight.

Hand #2- OK, button had been very aggressive (raising ATC from button, folding to reraises), and sb was a fish with a huge stack. I figure button is folding almost always here, I can isolate fish and fold him out either pf or on most flops. Flop comes decent for me but not great, he checks. What should my line be from here? The check minraise felt very bluffy to me, and I decided to call and let him shove into me on turn.

Hand #3- Initial raiser was raising a ton, I'd repopped him a few times. Flatted here for set value; villain reraising has been very tight (like 12/12) and I thought chances he had an overpair were good. Flop is perfect for me and I check, he bets as expected. Should I be calling and CRing or leading turn or is CR AI best with with these stacks/the chance he has AA/KK/QQ and can't fold.
