3 folds.

These hands are probably pretty standard, but I'd like some feedback.. Opps in first two hands are regular 400NL players, TAG and a bit tricky sometimes. Villain in third hand is unknown. Are there better ways to play this? Or is it very read-dependent, and if it is, how exactly?

ill take a stab at the first hand. I think loulu had pocket kings and made his set on the flop. post flop bet was small to get some money out of you then the larger bet on turn to get somemore. then reallybig bet on river to make you go away. A bad idea i think to call that $56 on turn should have folded there I think.

These hands are sooo read/player dependent, especially if villians are tricky and capable of making moves. Just defining them as TAG is not really enough IMO.

First hand I think I play it the same. On the river all you beat is a bluff.

Second hand is very tough. Against a habitual floater that likes to use position to steal pots, I like a CR AI on the turn here, but given the board is so dry, I don't blame you for folding either. You could also call the flop raise and lead the turn for $150 or so. Ugh. Not having position just sucks sometimes.

Third hand, how often have you been leading, and with what? I don't mind checking this flop and seeing what happens. Maybe call the c-bet and lead the turn. Do you think villian folds AA/KK to a CR AI on the turn here? The number of times villian has air combined with the ability to fold out AA/KK might make a CR AI a good play, although VERY risky. Not sure if I'd do it.
