Hand 1: Heads up, you cannot fear the str8, especially when he doesn't raise you. If he would have had AT, you play would have been perfect. Against opponents this passive, you have to bet the river.

Hand 2: A turn bet might have been better, but with no description of the player involved, it's impossible to say. When he bets on the end, I don't think your A high would have won more than 17% of the time. OTOH, if he's got big respect for flushes, a bet on the end might win you the pot more than 17% of the time.

Hand 3: Straight forward to the river. Don't think I would raise here, you have to ask yourself why SB comes to live on the river and bets into you. If it's a bluff, he might fold if you raise. Also, you might drive out UTG+2. And if he's got 2-pair or better, you'll wish you hadn't raised.

Henke is right on the money.

I hope you thanked the Button in hand #1 for extracting the absolute minimum. How nice of him.
