I've been having a break for almost ½ year because of moving out, being without internet and having exams. I'm finally back playing my favorite game. Here's a couple of hands that I would be interested to get some feedback on.

HAND I:
I only have some datamined stats on villian, he's running 20/11. I've got a superdraw, but I'm behind any set, and I doubt this kind of villian raises with less than a set here (I doubt he has KT or K8, maybe T8 though). On the other hand he could be raising here as a semibluff. I pondered on checking the flop here because getting raised here is ugly unless I plan to stick it allin on the flop. What do you think?

citricacid1 wins $200.50 USD from the main pot with three of a kind, Eights.

HAND II:
Villian seems a bit nitty (he's running 18/13), but he's probably raising a wider range here preflop in order to isolate the limper (who's a fish). His turn bet size made me think he was weak and I put him to the test - good/bad?

HAND III:
I just sat, but I have datamined stats on him - he's running 58/17, so I assume that he's an aggro donk. His turn openpush really dazzled me, and I count really see him play a turned flush like this. On the other hand it was huge overbet (2xpot) so I thought about folding. Should I've folded? Or does the fact that I have the king of clubs make it an easy call?
