Blind defense or spewing?

Hand 1. looks good to me. It's always hard to determin if a player is on a steal raise or not.
Hand 2. On flop I think it's good. If capped fold on turn.
Hand 3. No! I don't think it's good to raise this OOP. I would fold the river. He is trying to represent queens but I don't buy it (but if he has them you are still beaten). He probably has something like pair OR the flush and he was on check/call line.

I'm absolutely not expert on this, but I'm currently playing prima 1/2 and it's a constant blind war.
1/ I'd 3-bet to make sure BB doesn't come along. Then:
b/c
c/c
b/f (or if he's tricky, c/c)
2/ I'd fold it's not wirth it from SB
3/ Just call pf, then
c/c
c/f

I fold small Axo in the SB and BB to steal raises unless the player is getting very out of line with his steals. If I'm going to play Axs from the SB or BB I am 3-betting preflop.

This is good advice.

Hand 1 I 3bet from SB if raiser is steal happy, hand 2 I generally don't play unless I think I can outplay opponent after the flop. Hand 1 I'd lead the flop if I was the last aggressor preflop, if shown aggression I'm just calling down, as he's generally not going to call raises with a lot of hands I beat, but he'll keep betting a weaker hand if shown no aggression, thinking I'm scared of the ace.

Same thing with hand 2. I just don't think he's calling down with weaker hands so I don't see the value of the 3bet, except to drive someone off a possible split, but with the size of the pot, does it matter much?

Hand 3 I bet/fold the river.
