Hand 1: The only viable alternate line to this I see is flat calling his raise. I actually think that this (flat calling) is better because I don't think that you are in great shape against the range he is stacking off with.
Hand 2: Looks fine to me.
Hand 3: I'd be puking when he min-reraised. We're basically guessing here because we don't have a read, but I think that I'd flat call his reraise and see how I feel about the turn.
