Thoughts on these lines? In hand 1 do y'all like continuing to bet small on the turn or is XB slightly better? In hand 2 would it be better to go for the XR on the turn? In hand 3 what size do y'all like raising here?

Hand 1 I don't think I fold if whale is action and punty. Having some history and live tells can't hurt. You could probably bet turn too, not sure maybe even still jam river for value. But we might look at the turn as checking to induce.
Hand 2 is interesting. It's only a question of 3b or call. I would kind of discount a hand that beats you because it is an agro pro checking flop closing the action, but I am also not sure what an agro pro is cold calling pre that is a good bluff on the turn. You'd think his cold calling range would be pocket pair heavy and not have too many suited combos, stuff that could be straight draw/flush draw type hands or pair plus draw type hands. But not every euro pro plays the same. I guess I would just call on the turn and at least allow for the possibility of him blasting off on river with a bluff. But if he could have a high equity hand he may call a 3b with worse or jam over the top, so I don't think 3b is necessarily wrong.
I wouldn't check raise turn hand 2, seems ambitious.
Hand 3. I think jam. I would guess he doesn't have much and won't call a fair amount. But on the off chance he will have a hand like a trapped set or 2p, maybe even A5, let's go for the max. Esp since he is stuck. Imagine going 660 here instead of 1.2k. I would guess the times he calls 660 but not 1.2k aren't going to make up for the times when he calls the 1.2k. But IDK, I guess you would have to work out the combos. I doubt anywhere from ~3x to jam is a big mistake when you can't know his exact range and tendencies here.
