FWIW, I would never fold #1.  He doesn't have enough behind to kill your odds.  If he can have KJ there, he can have KQ.  He could also have AK for a chop or AsQs for a slight edge in your favor.  KJ and JJ are possible but less likely, and given the crazy good pot odds, you can't just assume you're beat.  I'd say you have somewhere around a 40-45% share of that pot against his range (I'm not giving it an even probability distribution, mind you), and the pot odds absolutely make that a call.

Edit: I say KJ and JJ are less likely than KQ or AK mainly because of statistics.  Players more often have medium strength hands than big hands because more cards have to come out just right to hit a big hand.  Also, the KJ is less likely because it is the weakest hand I listed, and he cold called a preflop 3-bet.  Can't rule it out, but I'm just saying it's rarer.

I agree with the mob on #2.

On hand #3, I'm trying to get big action on the flop.  I like the check/raise line, because the preflop raiser has yet to act, and that's a likely flop for him to have hit a medium strength hand (one pair or a straight draw).  I hope that was your intent.  I wouldn't check/call there ever.
