100NL regs - flopped set turned bad + probably some other horrible hand played by me

I suck at cash. Didn't 3 bet pre because I had been doing that a lot to this particular guy and I figured I'd just call here to avoid getting a 4 bet to my face and possibly take BB along. Flop and turn look pretty standard, should I call river? Yes it is very ugly but a lot of the chips are in and it's a great bluffing card, and my check is pretty weak looking...

Okay this next one may look bad. I didn't 4 bet because I had position + I prefer to play against a 3 bet range my hand beats than to push it in with AK 120BBs deep. I was calling the flop to bluff later and let one peel off on that nice looking turn. River is pretty straightforward. So errr thoughts on line?

And yeah, I pretty much suck at cash. Oh and I bought PT3 like a week ago but I get some error now postgre related but I've been too lazy to fix it, so no stats.

1st hand sucks, but I think its a ch/fold. Flush draw got there and theres 4 to a straight. Villain probably also isn't betting his TPTK, 2 pair hands here b/c he will think he has showdown value. Unless villain has shown to be particularly spewy and bluffy, I think you can fold this.

2nd hand:
Unless villain is like a 16/14 with a low 3bet, just 4bet and try to get this aipf. If you are only 4betting with AA/KK people will catch up on this and you wont get action with your 4bets and it will be profitable to just 3bet you a ton. As played I don't mind the postflop line although I probably bet turn most of the time.

I raise the flop more to try and shove the turn. I'd probably shove this river as well if there was less $ behind.

Other hand is a standard 4-bet.
