1. I'm not sure I call the Turn v. an unknown, and def fold the river. I'm just not sure what you're putting him (or what you hope to improve to) that is worth tossing another 8bbs into the pot. Calling obv buys you nothing as a bluff, so I'm guessing you're just hoping he's bluffing and you can get to a SD cheaply. That's usually a better option when you're IP...

2. Assuming he's a thinking player... a) you raised UTG representing the top end of your opening range then b) followed through with a PSB which makes AK a little less likely... leaving mostly high pockets. He then proceeds to pretty much commit himself to the pot by squeezing you and the overcaller. I don't think he's folding, and I don't think you're gonna like what you see when he showsdown. I also don't see what tossing another $6 in as a call gets you. Either shove or fold, and I'd fold.

3. Meh... I don't tend to like stacking off pre- w/ QQ esp when there's the likelihood of it going 3 way. You got a lot of exposure to A & K as a decent part of at least one of your vils stack off ranges - and a full board to go. If this was HU I'd be much more likely to call, but meh... I might fold with the threat of a 3way.

I bet smaller on the flop in hand 1 because he either has us crushed or he has air
I guess you could also check, but it makes your hand pretty transparent to an astute observer

I just fold turn as played because he's never trying to take away the pot with a $2 bet, he probably has you beat ten times for each time he's bluffing

hand 2 I don't see why he didn't squeeze it's perfect for a squeeze
maybe because he actually has a big hand?

hand 3 we probably have above 33% equity unless one of them has AA/KK
we break even if we beat MP's hand and lose to UTG
depends on what flat/flat means from MP

Hand 1: I look him up because it's 25NL and for some reason people always show up with the weirdest holdings on these boards because they have no clue how to play it and just insta bet turn with any holding when you check.
C/fing turn is pretty gross, really what are you expecting when you cbet - check turn? Villain is unknown, you don't know if this small bet means weakness or strength. c/c turn c/f river of c/c turn c/c river. I like the odds, I want to know what he has and I expect to be ahead enough so I call.

Hand 2: He probably has a PP higher than yours.

Hand 3: Very likely optimal.
