3 problem hands

Hand 1: Readless. I didn't bet the turn because there aren't many hands that I'm beating that I can get 2 streets of value out of, checked the river with the intention of pretty much calling any normal sized bet but then he shoves. What would you do?

Hand 2: This villain used to be capable of making aggressive moves but seems to have changed his game a lot recently, he has become a lot more passive. So far this session he checked the river oop with a rivered flush on a paired board after I had checked back the turn, and he has also just called my pf raise with QQ. Should I just be b/fing the flop? The board pairing obviously means theres less combos of sets he can have but surely I can't be ahead after his bet on the turn as well right?

Hand 3: Readless again. His donk bet annoyed me so I thought I'd raise it with the bdfd, bet the turn to get him to fold an 8 because its the perfect card for me to represent. What do you do now on the river? Fire a 3rd barrel or just give up? Does he have the fd enough times for us to make the shove profitable?

    hand 1 id always be betting the turn & river myself.  opens to 5x checks dry flop pots turn jams river. you're going to see JT or AA/KK/QQ like 100% of the time imo

    2) he overcalls pre so i would heavily discount KK/AA. such a dry board id expect people to be slowplaying sets most of the time. id just call turn &  river give him chance to bluff off his last 28£

    3) id prob fold pre he has <40bbs and we have 6high. vs main villain cold calling in the small blind he is going to have a pretty strong range of broadway cards and set mining hands. i think checking back turn and giving up is best.
