Push or bet t300 on the flop? I see now that I should have pushed preflop.

Any reason to do bet turn for protection? UTG is a passive lag.

first hand seems alright, the others too.

Hand 1 seems excessive, you are pushing 3x pot , I think a better line may be 350 ish where you hopefully get a call by a lower ace (after all it was limped pf) and you have 9 nut flush outs, 4 nut straight outs, plus trips/2 pair vs the lwoer ace.

Hand 2 is a definite turn check, you are not getting called by any worse hands with the exception of a spade draw

Hand 3 looks good
