im n00b, but i'll give my opinion

hand 1 is a call if you bet the turn, youc an't possibly give up this pot with 1 more big bet, if turn was checked then a fold would be fine, also i wouldn't raise it for value cause the board is just too scary

Hand 2 is a WTF IS GOIGN ON HERE??? i'd call, but i don't know what to do, he could pissibly have QQ or AA?? but i'd call

hand 3 is a obvious check, villian could be wanting ot C/r with river, the only thing that'd pay you off is a smaller pocket pair, i'd check the ace

A read would be handy in hand 1. Turn bet is probabaly ok as heads up you have a reasonable chance of taking the pot down there. On the river I would probabaly fold. BTN called 2 cold prf what are you putting him on that you beat? 88,TT or KQ are about the only rational hands that you beat unless of course the BTN is a total fish.

Hand 1 I play the same and call the river. With those stats our villain could have a flush draw, a gutshot, some low/mid pocket pair, or even nothing at all.

Hand 2 I just call this river. 78 or a flush draw just got there, and I suppose once in a while villain might have played a set kind of strangely here, trying to string you along on the turn and doesn't want the river being checked through. I think you still usually have the best hand here, but Heads up in a blind vs blind situation I'm gonna have to barf and call if I get 3 bet here in a very large pot. So I just call.

Hand 3 the preflop action is kinda confusing here. I'm reading that you open UTG+1 with a 3-bet? Anyway I cant see the BB playing AK or AQ like this, and this is an underpair most of the time. I bet for value.
