Default $6 NLTRN: Three dubious pushes

What does everyone think of these pushes? Are they all massive spews?

Hand 1:

My opponent started off kind of tight, but was loosening up on the flop, and starting calling my continuation bets. I decided to push the flop because I thought my hand was very vulnerable, and I wanted to take down the pot (which was 50% the size of my stack) right away. Did I overplay my hand?

Flop: (t450) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Hand 2:

This was the first hand of the match, against an unknown. Did I massively overplay my hand? As soon as I did this, I realized it was probably pretty stupid...the flop is dry, and I'm not sure what my opponent could've been 3-betting with if not an ace (in which case I'm almost surely beaten). So, tell me I'm an idiot and hopefully I won't do this again.

Hand 3:

The raise to 330 looked to me like a hand that didn't want to see a flop (like a small-medium pocket pair), so I thought pushing would be +EV (since I think my opponent folds small-medium pocket pairs here a decent amount of the time).
