Hand 1 I would recommend raising the flop -- this is a very dry board, true, but any overpair is likely not folding perhaps at any point in the hand, as well as top pair occasionally. This is also a limped pot, meaning that if we wish to get stacks in we have to begin quickly.
Hand 2 I don't mind the flop raise versus loose-passives, but I think that without some sort of read we have to fold to a 3bet. Also, 3betting the minraise of a limper in position seems alright, to me.
Hand 3 is a cooler, but I think I would probably 4bet/call a lot of players, especially with the cold caller preflop (assuming he's a fish or unknown) and our position. This seems to be the only full table, though, and it's possible that I'm making a mistake in applying 6max logic (though I kind of doubt it in this one spot).
Anyway, sorry things didn't go so well, and I'm sorry if the criticism's unwelcome in what was probably a rant post :). Good luck in the future.

Hand #1 the river is a cooler but I think I would raise the turn and look to try to get more money in to get paid.
Hand 2
I would raised preflop to .50/.60. You have a strong hand and position..
As played, once you get 3bet, I would fold. Unless you had a read on player but the flop is dry, he is either 3betting a set or better A.
Hand 3
I dont like your calling the min 3bet from UTG +1. 4bet to 1.80 or 2.10, your hand is strong and he has a short stack and there is dead money in the pot. It's difficult to play multiway and OOP.
Hands 1 & 3 seem like your prone to Fancy Play Syndrome.
