p/1 - 2357-Q - BB bets, I call
p/1 - 23567- BB checks, I bet, BB check/raises, I 3-bet, BB 4-bets
Best action in these 3 scenarios? Any of these scenarios where we would fold? One thing I would say is 24567 is the strongest hand I would bet/call a c/r here. So I would consider 23567 to be the bottom of my b/3b range in all cases.

I would never fold in any of these situations, although I'd probably just call the river check-raise in hand 3, and I'd be tempted to just call in hand 2 as well (but probably not), against most players I play against.

Hand 1 when BB 4b the turn he will have a lot of hands with good perceived value, down to #6, a small number of repping hands like 88ww and some bad pats where he wants you to break, and your hand and discards unblock Eights, Nines and Tens so I would flat the turn 4b and let him fire the river. I would not raise the river because getting 3b there is bad news.
Hand 2 just call the 4b. Sometimes they draw two perfect cards but most of the time they don't.
Hand 3 I wouldn't 3b river. Line looks credibly very strong.
Important reason to consider extra action in all these hands is that you completely unblock Eights and low cards, having paired nothing and discarded only high cards, meaning vil good pat hand distribution has way more Eights in it than better Sevens.

Same thing as electrical. Really hate the three bet in the past hand, that line is so strong.

Hands 1 and 2 I would look to get in 1 more raise on some street.
Hand 3 3!/fold is probably best.
