Hand #1
Dangerous. I prefer leading and betting/raising a non-heart turn. I don't see a hand worse than KQ calling that overbet.

Hand #2:
Standard

Hand #3:
What's Villain's range here? If he called with a naked A, would he be pushing all in with it? Since he cannot have T2 or 92, I think you're beat here. I fold (but I like the c/r)

Hand 1:

It would be a much better idea to lead out on the flop. Giving a free card with this board is way too dangerous. Plus when you check, this board is so scary that your opponent is unlikely to bluff. Don't like the check-raise, because you are only getting called by hands that beat you or at the very least a strong draw.

Hand 2:

Raising the flop is a good idea, but the raise should be larger to cut down on the pot odds your opponent is getting if he is drawing to something. Something like 3x his raise is a good idea.

Hand 3:

Not a fan oi the turn check-raise. You are the agressor in the hand, so you have no reason to believe that your opponent will bet when you check. You have a good hand and it is best to keep betting, build the pot some, and stay in control.
