Three AKo hands

[Abelardo]

These are from my first session of 1/2, I've been playing 0.5/1 for about 17k hands and recently I began playing 4 tables, but since the computer I 4-table got broken I can only play 1 or 2 tables in the old computer, so I decided to give 1/2 a try. In the session I had AK an insane number of times and I think I need to check it here.


Hand 1, Villian seems LAA, good 3-bet on the turn after check-rise?

Hand 2, here the button is LP, he limps with a lot of hands but he tightens up if there's a rise, the other persons seem decent at least. Should I continue on this flop?

Hand 3, I don't remember anything in particular for this opponent. I thought I wanted to see a showdown cheap so my plan was to check the turn and call a bet on the river, should I be more aggressive in that spot? My hand is not that bad but I didn't wanted to get check-raised.
