Hand 3 sucks, the others are fine.

Hand 1 the other decent player had QQ, button had 87o, so it seemed like my play was ok I guess.

Hand 2 villain had AJ and spewed lots of chips to me, but I really thought I might have been making a bad call here, glad to see it seems ok.

Hand 3 villain had AJ and I also thought I made a bad call here which appears to be confirmed. Seems like this type of player will never value bet AQ here so the best I'm hoping for would be an AK chop while he probably has a flopped set, KQ or AJ at least 75% of the time (perhaps more). I also neglect to 3 bet OOP against decent players with AK. Perhaps this is something I need to start doing?

#2 the river call is really really bad
#3 river call sucks again, but here it's much closer.

wow I completely disagree with you on #2. Why fold? Given pot odds, action, villain's stats, I can't think of a single reason to fold this. I also much prefer betting turn to checking, he has diamonds/worse aces almost always and I want to bet against both of those

Yes, for sure, almost always. You'd need an incredibly good reason not to 3-bet AK from the blinds
