I'm new to $1kNL and have no stats on villain. This hand is standard right?

Villain is Ehsan666. Anyone know anything about him? He seems like a a very loose losing player.

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $5/$10 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $1,047.00
BB: $4,009.25
Hero (UTG): $1,000.00
MP: $1,000.00
CO: $1,958.00
BTN: $980.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt K K (6 Players)
Hero raises to $35.00, 3 folds, SB calls $30.00, BB folds

Flop: ($80) 2 T J (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $70.00, SB raises to $340.00, Hero raises all-in to $965.00, SB calls $625.00

Turn: ($2010) J (2 Players - 1 All-In)

River: ($2010) 2 (2 Players - 1 All-In)

Pot Size: $2,010.00 ($3 Rake)

Villain is 27/6 over 70 hands. Should I fold to A2 here?

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $3/$6 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $612.00
BB: $578.00
UTG: $151.75
CO: $1,342.50
BTN: $1,166.10

Preflop: Hero is dealt A 9 (5 Players)
3 folds, Hero raises to $21.00, BB calls $15.00

Flop: ($42) 3 4 A (2 Players)
Hero bets $30.00, BB calls $30.00

Turn: ($102) 9 (2 Players)
Hero bets $85.00, BB calls $85.00

River: ($272) 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $135.00, BB raises all-in to $442.00, Hero calls $307.00

Pot Size: $1,156.00 ($2 Rake)

I feel I played this hand so, so badly. I should definitely fold to the final allin bet preflop. I just don't have a chance of winning. The odds were quite good though, so I just didn't want to fold.
This is one of the few hands I played really bad today.

UTG is 23/14 over 146 hands.
UTG+1 is 28/11 over 47 hands.

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $3/$6 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $1,060.30
BB: $585.00
UTG: $1,014.70
MP: $550.20
CO: $591.00
Hero (BTN): $591.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt A K (6 Players)
UTG raises to $18.00, MP calls $18.00, CO folds, Hero raises to $72.00, 2 folds, UTG calls $54.00, MP calls $54.00

Flop: ($225) Q K 9 (3 Players)
UTG bets $66.00, MP calls $66.00, Hero raises to $288.00, UTG calls $222.00, MP raises all-in to $478.20, Hero calls $190.20, UTG calls $190.20

Turn: ($1659.60) 4 (3 Players - 1 All-In)
UTG bets all-in for $464.50, Hero calls all-in for $40.80
Uncalled bet of $423.70 returned to UTG

River: ($1741.20) 9 (3 Players - 3 All-In)

Pot Size: $1,741.20 ($3 Rake)

Are these hands alright? I hate the 3rd one, but what about the 1st two?

I've been playing very well. Winning $9.4k in 2days, but I just dropped $2.6k so I want to make sure I'm playing OK.
I did lose a $2.4k pot with AA vs JJ allin pf, so I'm not too worried.

 I play much lower than you, but I"ll comment anyways.

1. Tough situation. He doesn't have anything you beat, unless he's an idiot or slowplayed QhQ. Your hand is nice, but very dangerous. Hands that give you heavy action here almost always have you drawing, but it's a difficult situation inwhich to fold. I prefer checking behind.

2. On river, I prefer check/calling a resonable bet for pot control and bluff inducement. As played, no way a 27/6 has A5 or worse.

3. You're right. These guys would need to be playing garbage fast for you to have the best hand.

Hope I'm not out of my league.

Hand 2 is quite tricky. I like to bet for value here, because I felt he would call me with a hand like Ax quite a lot of the time and I also felt that he would quite rarely have a 2 in his hand.
If I check, he is rarely going to bluff at me, but he will value bet a straight. If he has a hand like AT he will just check behind, so I'm losing value there.
When I bet the river, I was thinking of it as a blocking bet, but then a second later I realized that it is extremely unlikely that his range contains a 2, so I felt I had to call his allin. I'm getting decent odds on his push.

Also, if a 2 is in his range, then he must have played very loose earlier in the hand and surely this same loose player is capable of making a donk allin with a weaker hand in this spot with a weaker hand. He could have 52 but unlikely.

I only need to be ahead 25% of the time to call the river raise, and since we've established he is a donk however you look at this hand, I think I have to call.

 3: getting it all in threeway here is a pretty big mistake.
