Pretty weak lines against unknowns...

1. I don't mind a flop 3-bet, but you might fold out AJ or QQ so the call is fine. I'm definitely leading the turn though. I think you can find a fold if he raises the turn, but I also don't mind stacking off to a set from an unknown here. Too many hands you beat play this the same way (AJ/KK/QQ/KhQh/9h8h).

2. Why does an unknown checking make you wary? I think you're losing a lot of value from AQ/KQ/JT. The turn is a good card for you, it makes a set of sixes much less likely. Definitely bet the turn. As played, raise the river, I think you're good here.

3. Meh. I'm probably calling and leading the turn, willing to pay off a shorty's TT/99. This is the best hand of the three, imo, but if AQ is in his range, calling the flop raise is +EV.

3rd hand is very bad. you want all your chips in the middle by the end of the hand imo. opponent is too short and he could have a lot of hands that you beat. AJ, AQ, etc. i know that AJ is definitely in his range if he is an unknown at pokerroom on the $25 tables

2nd hand looks ok/weak. checking the turn keeps the pot small. but you shouldn't be that worried about the trip 6s.
checking turn does not mean a thing! he'll check that turn with any 2 cards. his check shows you he's still in the hand! i think betting the turn is the best idea here. could easily have TP and still be in the hand!

1st hand is also weak. bet the turn. then maybe you can fold if he reraises

i think the play on these 3 hands is very weak
