Some hands 50NL

Hand 1:
Villain limp-called preflop, so I had him on a small PP or SC. He leads the flop though and I only have 3rd pair. What's hero's play?
Fold: that's weak I think and too early
Call: could be ok, try to see a cheap showdown, get something from a lower PP, missed draw. Makes us c/f any turn? (and river?)
Reraise: you're making it hard for any hand that you beat to stay, except draws. Are the hands we beat likely here?
A reraise could get a 8 to fold, maybe 99? any higher PP is unlikely and probably doesn't fold.

Hand 2: I'm having trouble with my blinds calling range. Is QJo good enough? What if there wasn't a caller in front of hero?

Hand 3:
I was getting odds to draw, so I took them.
Should I be raising to build a pot and maybe scare villain to let him fold?

hand 1: i fold the flop. Its so unlikely that your ahead here that its not worth it.

hand 2: I fold this from the blinds. If it were QJs/JTs i might make the call with 2 people in the pot.

hand 3: fold preflop. both the limper and raiser are very short stacked so you dont have the implied odds you need to call w/ a hand like this.

hand1 : I folded the flop. It's a weird play by villain, but indeed it's very unlikely we're ahead here.

hand 2: You're probably right, but I'm just wondering, isn't folding here a bit too tight? I'd think we're a pretty big blind stealer target if even TJo isn't good to call. The games I've played in lately are passive as hell with a lot of blindstealing. TJo no good with 2 people in? TJs?

hand 3: Ouch, I didn't even look at the stacks, bad! That's a clear fold preflop yes. If both were 100deep it's a call, but is my play on the flop and turn ok then?

In the blinds to a raise I call any 22-99/big SC/any broadway suited/some big suited 1 gappers as well/I will go lower if I think I have very good implied odds against the open raiser. I muck everything else and calling off suit broadway cards to a raise and a call isn't to tight, it's way to loose.
