There are times when I still feel so damn confused post flop. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hand 1 - Villian had been at the table for less than an orbit so no reads. I probably should have just folded pre-flop and by the river thought villian either had a busted flush draw, TP or maybe a set (although I thought a set would have raised on either street). Is this an easy call or an easy fold?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($29.30)
BB ($22.75)
UTG ($26.70)
UTG+1 ($6.80)
MP1 ($8.20)
MP2 ($25.55)
MP3 ($21.65)
CO ($14)
Button ($24.65)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, A.
UTG calls $0.25, 3 folds, MP3 calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1) 2, 4, A (4 players)
Hero bets $1, BB folds, UTG calls $1, MP3 calls $1.

Turn: ($4) Q (3 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4, MP3 calls $4.

River: ($16) 8 (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP3 bets $12, Hero ???

Hand 2 - Early in the session so no valuable reads at this point. I think I should have folded the river (and possibly the turn) as there are a lot of hands that I am behind to and I am not going to improve my hand that often.

MP2 ($32.25)
CO ($4.45)
Button ($40.90)
SB ($16.30)
BB ($13.85)
UTG ($2.15)
UTG+1 ($7.20)
Hero ($24.20)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, A.
2 folds, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, Button calls $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($3.10) Q, 3, J (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3, Button calls $3, BB folds.

Turn: ($9.10) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $3, Hero calls $3.

River: ($15.10) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $5, Hero calls $5.

Final Pot: $25.10

Hand 3 - Same table as hand 2. Villians stats were 26, 2.6 and 8.1 over 100 hands. Should I have folded to the C/R on the turn? Btw, villian claimed after the hand to have 5s3s but I think he was just trying to tilt me.

Hand 1: I fold preflop, A2o is a hand that can really get you into trouble multi-way, you've really only got a chance if you flop 2 pair or trips/straight (which happens in total like 3% of the time). As played, I probably get really unhappy and fold the river. I like flop and turn play though.

Hand 2: You have to lead the turn imo for information, as played calling the river is fine.

Hand 3: RAISE PREFLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As played its ok I think.

1) preflop is meh but not terrible. bet/fold river $12.

2) Lead turn not for information but for value.

3) raise pre vs. this villain because he won't fold that much of his range that keeping him in the hand compensates for the lack of value. fine as played.

How much should I lead out for? I am thinking around $4.5 to 5, correct.
