2. You could tell me to fold preflop. As played my bluff was totally out of desperation. I think he's got 2 pairs. He's obviously afraid of me having a queen.

Hand one preflop is good, he has got a big stack/so do you = implied odds and your hand is easy to play after the flop. As for gunning a bluff on the turn here, I dunno...it's a multiway flop w/draws and tons of cards that can come to make continuing hard + your two pair out is tainted, I like a flop 'bluff' here better.
Hand 2: Fold preflop, that's just junk. As played you have to bluff this river imho, but I don't think you should be in that position to begin with.
Hand 3: Bluffing here is excellent, scary cards + you got outs. Some might disagree on the preflop call but I don't mind it.

The only reason I don't like hand 3 is if its close to hand 2 where you showed the bluff, you will get called here much more than youwould like.

To Phil14312: the bluffs were made at different tables. I have never shown more than 1 bluff at a same table.
Here are my own comments
Personally I like hand 1 the best. With many tight players bearing the "don't go broke with 1 pair" mentality I will make this play on a ragged board. A tight yet straight forward player's raising range in EP couldn't possibly fit this board.
Hand 2. I wish I have a deeper stack. As played I think opponent needs to call. He only needs to be right 1/3 of the time to profit from the decision.
Hand 3. In retrospect I can easily put him on AA or AK. But if he had KK I would be done like dinner.
