Please Analyze These Hands

Help me out on these. These are 3 hands I always seem to have a hard time with.
#1
Absolute Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (3.25 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets, BB calls, MP calls.

River: (6.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, MP folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8.25 BB

Was I right to raise pre flop? Bet the turn? I felt I had no choice but to call the river.
#2
Absolute Poker 1/2 Hold'em (4 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn: (4 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

River: (6 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8 BB

The BB was seeing 75% of the flops and calling to the river where he would usually bet out no matter what he had. Should I have raised into the 4 flush board or just dumped the hand? Should I have just checked the turn?
#3
Absolute Poker 1/2 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero raises, MP calls, SB folds.

Flop: (5 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP calls.

River: (5.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP folds.

Final Pot: 6.50 BB

KQs & KQos are always a tough hands for me. Should I have played this differently?

hand 1: i like to bet the flop. u have 2 overcards, backdoor flush draw, and gutshot straight draw. i bet here. on the river, i think u can find a fold. what can villain be betting here that you beat, besides a bluff? any jack either has you outkicked or 2paired. i dont think youre good here 1/7 of the time.

hands 2 and 3 both look pretty standard.

I would hate to get 3-bet in hand 2, and especially with your read, I just call it.

HAND #1
I'd bet the flop and take a free river card if they both called. If one called, it depends on the player, but it's probably going to be a check behind hope to hit my outs.

The call on the river is close, I suspect it is slightly -EV. I'd probably still make it, because I'm a fish.

Also, that preflop raise is incredibly easy.

HAND #2
Raise preflop is good.
I would check turn and call the river.

HAND #3
is excellent. Nice job with the preflop raise.

I was thinking that, but wasn't sure enough to post it.

How do we play this OOP? I have no clue...
