For Hand 1,villain is loose passive type however this is first hand he cold-called 3bet and leading 70% pot.

For Hand 2, BB is quite new to the table so no read. BTN plays ABC

Hand 3, no read, Retrospectively I think it is a bit tight folding turn.

How would you play?

In the first hand I think it was an acceptable call with TPTK + BDF with blocker. Although your OOP push range has a broad structure, we should get information from previous hands played to make a better thought decision.
In the second hand it was possibly an exploitative fold if you put it in a range: K-J; 5-5; J-7. Otherwise the texture is very dry so the call could also be profitable if we do not include these combos in the V range.
In the 3 hand your biggest concern should be the kicker, now we are surpassed by KT and AT. Villain's bet was of a reasonable size, so the final decision depends on the reading we have of this V. There are still several combos of bluffs in their range, we have as an example 7-X; 7-8s; 8-9s; 9h-Th / s; Jh-Th / s; A-5d / s; A-Qs / o; A-Js / o; Q-Ks; J-Qs; 8-8; 9-9. So the call could also be standardized if we can eliminate any combo bad for us, for example 5-6 that also got there.
Greetings.

Hand1
Definitely stacking it off on the flop. If he cold called a 3-bet out of the blinds with 22 or K6s then good hand to him. Way more often I expect to see a draw here, another AK or even KQ/KJ type of hands.

Hand2
Its kind of difficult to believe, he backdoored into a flush, but he might have flopped a set or turned two pair with KJ. You have an overpair in a 10 SPR multiway pot, and this is definitely a situation, where it require a very strong read to stack off. Without such read good fold. Never get married to aces.

Hand3
The way I look at this situation is, that if I was going to bet for value when checked to, then I am absolutely not folding to a donk bet, unless its a massive overbet. Its the same as saying, that a donk bet is never a bluff, which is 100% not true. If he bomb the river, that is the time, you can probably fold, unless you improved. But not on turn for this sizing.

Hand1: I guess villain could have AK,KQ,KJs, though in this hand he got AA
Hand2: Agree it was an exploitative fold. Villain got 63dd so rivered flush
Hand3. Yes mistake in hindsight, Villain got A8o

Then he made the mistake by not 4-betting. This time it worked out for him, because he was incredibly lucky on the flop, that you hit on the K to catch up. But all the times, you miss, he is leaking heaps of value by his silly slowplay.
