I'm a bit cash-retarded, but what is the best play in these spots.
Hand 1

UTG+1 ($7.95)
MP1 ($21.75)
MP2 ($25)
MP3 ($36.70)
CO ($25)
Button ($17.55)
SB ($24.75)
BB ($25)
Hero (UTG) ($24.15)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with A , K
Hero bets $0.80, 4 folds, CO calls $0.80, 3 folds
Flop: ($1.95) Q, J , 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.50, Hero calls $1.50
Turn: ($4.95) 5 (2 players)

Total pot: $4.95 | Rake: $0.20
Hand 2

Hand 3
It seems like flush/straight draws are in his hand range here. What the heck do these min-raises mean and should I consider just calling here?

Don't put too much stock into my answers. I suck at poker
Hand 1: I will usually C-bet this flop against 1 opponent if I don't have any reads. If you have some reads on him and know what kind of range he has then I might check it on the flop. And if you're not going to follow through on the flop I don't see the point in calling the flop bet.
Hand 2: Standard I guess. I will sometimes fire a second barrel depending on opponent
Hand 3: Min bets can mean a lot of things. Sometimes it's just a player trying to catch you c-bet bluffing. |

NoPantsPoker, we all suck. That's why we're all trying to help each other.
H1- I'm never check-calling here really w/o reads. Either cbet or c/f.
H2- Cbet harder, like $1.4, assuming you want people to fold their marginal hands. The turn card didn't change anything, so it's barreling is read dependent. Turn/river fine.
H3- Like NPP said, minraises are a shit-ton of things. I don't mind trying to get it in vs. this awkward stack donkey. |

Reads? 
Vs. unknowns:
1. Cbet flop
2. Check flop
3. Fine |

Why check the flop in hand #2? It's a K high, flop, We are in position, and it definately one fo the things we are repping by our PFR. |

| Because we should have some sort of checking back range and 33 is one of those few hands as we only have 2 outs if called and he should be calling a lot. |

Hand 1: This is a great flop semi-bluff spot, and your check/call has reverse implieds odds written all over it.
Hand 2: I think it's best to check the flop here. We often have a hand that has little to no showdown value here, so I'm more inclined to check the smaller pairs. Also, it's fairly unlikely that you're going to get someone to fold one pair here unless it's like 44, so it's pretty -EV all around.
Hand 3: If you're going to 3-bet, pay attention to the odds you're giving him. |

Hand 2 - listen to kmind/spoon
Hand 1 - I love barreling AK when I have overs + gutterball, it's a 10-out draw (unless the frush is active). Based on a read, I would probably 2 barrel here and fold to a turn raise or decent sized river bet. |
