1. I probably bet less, maybe 6.5 or 7 on the flop and call the flop raise. Then i would bet the largest amount on the turn that wouldn't commit me if he pushes over it, at which point i would fold.

2. Looks good.

3. Just push the flop instead of betting exactly his stack. It looks more like you have a draw and he'll gamble with you more.

NHs. I'm tempted to bet the river in hand 2, but I see where you're coming from. I think a block is in order, however.
