NL10: Three common 3betting spots with AK, to cbet or not to cbet?

Hand 1: We 3bet AKo OOP and see a very bad flop for our actual range. Proper chk/fold here with this hand? We will have some suited connectors and hands like JT, QT, KJs that can continue.

Seat 2: UTG ($9.65 in chips)
Seat 3: Dealer ($14.40 in chips)
Seat 4: Small Blind ($9.50 in chips)
Seat 5: Big Blind [ME] ($11.94 in chips)

Small Blind : Small Blind $0.05
Big Blind [ME] : Big blind $0.10
* HOLE CARDS
UTG : Card dealt to a spot
Dealer : Card dealt to a spot
Small Blind : Card dealt to a spot
Big Blind [ME] : Card dealt to a spot [Ad Ks]
UTG : Folds
Dealer : Raises $0.30 to $0.30
Small Blind : Folds
Big Blind [ME] : Raises $0.85 to $0.95
Dealer : Calls $0.65
FLOP * [9s Js 7h]
Big Blind [ME] : Checks
Dealer : Bets $0.93

Big Blind [ME] : Folds

Hand 2: On this paired board, I have plenty of SDV with my AK so I decide to check. But, is this board a situation where we bet our entire range as a cbet? or only Qx? Are we checking back KK and AA here?

Seat 1: Big Blind ($9.40 in chips)
Seat 2: UTG ($3.09 in chips)
Seat 3: UTG+1 ($16.80 in chips)
Seat 4: UTG+2 ($9.80 in chips)
Seat 5: Dealer [ME] ($10.75 in chips)
Seat 6: Small Blind ($8.60 in chips)

UTG+2 : Card dealt to a spot
Dealer [ME] : Card dealt to a spot [Ad Kh]
Small Blind : Card dealt to a spot

Dealer [ME] : Raises $1.35 to $1.35

Big Blind : Folds
UTG+1 : Calls $1.05
UTG+2 : Folds
* FLOP [7s Qh Qc]
UTG+1 : Checks
Dealer [ME] : Checks
TURN * [7s Qh Qc] [6h]
UTG+1 : Bets $2.25

Dealer [ME] : Folds

Hand 3: I opted to flat call the AKo instead of 3betting to keep the UTG fish in the hand, but in hindsight I think this is a 3bet all the time no matter what. AKs would be a better flat call here. We see another paired board, multiway and decide to check back our SDV again. Is it too nitty to fold facing the large turn bet?

UTG : Card dealt to a spot

UTG+2 [ME] : Checks
TURN * [Ts 3d Tc] [4d]

Hero ?

Are we playing too weak/tight with these hands? Thanks for any input!
