The first two aren't terrible.

Hand 1: Betting the dry flop, I think you are pretty good there quite often. The K could easily be a scare card for him, but it looks like he had AK/KQ and called with the overcards, which is just a little unlucky. Easy fold after the minraise.

Hand 2: Pretty easy hand. Easy cbet with overpair, and when he re-raises you have to shove. Again it's a really dry board, but I'd expect a short stack to sometimes do that with A8/AJ+/KQ/55/77 etc.

Hand 3: PF, make it a bit higher, maybe $1.20. A double barrel there is pretty spewy unless he's floating way too many flops. It will work sometimes, as you are repping QQ+ I guess, but far too often the donk will not lay down their 77/88/TT type hand when such a blank card appears on the turn. I wouldn't put this past being an overpair though, so it's as easy check, and get it in if you spike an A or K.

hand 1 dont bet flop into 3 others, just be done with hand

hand 2 raise to 4xbb + 1 for each limper so 5bb pf, stacking off is fine against a 30bb stack

hand 3 3bet to 14bb pf, cbet is good just give up after that.

check down the 66 and fold to any bet

raise more pf with the 99, postflop is fine

3bet much bigger preflop, probably just shove the turn if he calls your cbet

thanks guys.

So i shouldnt really of fired the second bullet with the AK.
