overplayed... ?

As I'm reviewing some hands here, I feel like I'm overplaying hands. Maybe it just feels like that because my hands are missing these days? Hard to tell.. Any advice is appreciated. 4 quick hands:

Hand coverter is fubar'd again, so excuse my typo's..

Villian in hand #1 seemed loose and passive. Kind of guy who might limp with Axo, and call all the way down whether he hit a pair or not. I check the river thinking he isn't folding a hand that beats Did I overplay the flop? I think the turn bet is fine with my overcards + flush draw. Who fires a last shot on the river?

HAND 2 :: Party Poker $2-$4 (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds. UTG+1 calls. MP2 folds. MP2 calls. 3 folds. Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SBs) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)

River: (6.5 BBs) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: (8.5 BBs)

Obviously the board probably hit someone on a straight draw, but I did flop top pair, so I bet out. Undercards on the turn and river made me want to bet out again. I fold probably anywhere to a raise. Any play it differently?

HAND 3 :: Party Poker $2-$4 (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero raises. 2 folds. MP2 calls. 3 folds. BB calls.

Flop: (6.5 SBs) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, BB folds.

Turn: (4.25 BBs) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, Hero folds.

I know the raise UTG is debatable. Do I have any business betting that flop or turn ? Bet the flop, check-fold that turn ? Fold pre-flop? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Villian was passive, and I took his raise to mean I was very much beat.

HAND 4 :: Party Poker $2-$4 (9 handed)

Turn: (9 BBs) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks. BB bets. CO raises, Hero calls, BB calls.

River: (15 BBs) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, CO bets, BB folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: (17 BBs)

I know it seems a horrible turn call, but this table was very loose and aggressive, CO in particular. I did not necessarily take his turn raise to mean I was beat, but maybe I should have. Facing 2 bets, with BB to act after me, maybe it's an insta-fold ? And by the river the pot is just too big to fold for 1 bet back to me and I'm closing the action.. So I guess the real question is the turn.
