Hand 1 i'd play it as played. I mean you have the nut flush draw so it's not many hands that beat you.'

Hands 2 i think your continuationbet is too high, maybe just make it half pot or little over half pot. He won't give up if he has a queen or an ace no matter how much you bet, so betting less to try and take it down and lose less money when he has the ace or queen is probably better

Hand 3 i don't like raising limps with A+ lowcard especially offsuit. There i just check and try to hit an ace. Your three is pretty much worthless unless you hit a A3X, 33X flop or a straightdraw. As played i'd play the same.

That said i'm also new here so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I aggree about all hands.
Hand 2 i thought on the flop what i beat random pockets & some str8 draw which he calls indeed. Because 70+ vpip. But i don't like my turn play tho :/
Hand 3 And I actually misclicked minraise pf my standard play is check behind.

Ok hand 2 i agree, after he calls the pot bet on the flop he has you beat almost 100% of the time. He could have air or something if he's tilting but in this case you should just try to check it down since he is passive to give you the most value even if he almost always have you beat. You also fold immediatly to pretty much any bet. Betting the flop is by no means wrong, i just pot bet is too much almost always. I'd never bet more than 75% here unless i'm playing a calling station spewtard.

Hand 3, alright just focus each match and make sure to not missclick, missclicks are -EV for sure

Hand 1: I think I would bet the turn slightly smaller but not a big deal also checking sounds like a good play as well since you get a free card vs. Kx and don't scare away smaller flush draws but seems okay as played.

Hand 2: bet about 1/2 to 2/3 pot on flop with or without an Ax hand. give up on turn since you beat almost nothing that is willing to call flop bet.

Hand 3: Don't like raise pf or sizing for that matter doesn't fold out much IMO and A3o isn't really a value raise out of position. After flop though you should look to build the pot with out scaring him away. Checking is okay but I think it looks a little obvious when you c/r in this spot so I recommend a c/c (especially when he overbets) or betting ~1/2 pot and hope to get paid by gut shots and Jx.

Against someone with "aggressive tendencies on many turns and rivers", I'd either check back or bet with the intention of getting it in if I get c/r.

Your bet sizings in hand 2 are terrible.
