Hand 1: Bet the flop if you are going to call, and you are going to call here. You must bet this river, as you are the pfr who is supposed to be the one most likely helped by the A. If you don't have the ability to follow thru with your turn semibluff, you shouldn't semi-bluff the turn. You will win more than 1 in 9 times. I would have bet each street.

Hand 2: I like the flop check-raise if you think AK is good, but think it tends to tie your opponent to a showdown and you aren't going to get a better hand to fold. Your bets are solely value bets, so pick your opponents to do this to carefully.

Hand 3: You should have played Hand 1 more like this. Keep in mind that while you were successful, the flop is a high risk play that shouldn't be your standard line against an unkown opponent as it is a minimum two street bluff, since the check-raise will almost always be called by the overcards you hope you opponent has and thus you have to follow thru on the turn and often fire again on the river in hopes you opponent folds a better hand like a bigger ace. Against a postflop caller or a tight prelfop player you are in trouble more often than not here, as I think AK will call you down a good bit in this spot. I think the 4th club was a great river card for you as many opponents will call down with A high on a non-club river card.
