[NL25] What to do with JJ

NOTE: I posted a few hands in here cause I always have a million questions and don't want to spam the forum. I also post hands that I won where I think I made a bad play or could have done it better. All help is appreciated!

What to do with JJ in this situation...

Ok, I'm confused... With his C on the flop and check on the turn, with the flush completing, what's the move here? Or should I have just laid down the A8 to the bet?

1. 3bet pre-flop (I think something around ~$4.50 is good, since there is one caller and you're OOP) and cbet this flop (2/3-pot is good). Give up if your cbet is called/raised.
2. This looks fine to me
3. Get it in on the flop, you have a monster hand
4. (Not entirely sure about this hand. Better to wait for other responses, but river is always fold as played)

Hand 1 you are turning your hand into a bluff, dunno why.
Hand 2 fine, on the river you beat absolutely nothing except a complete bluff.
Hand 3 push flop.
Hand 4.. A little bigger flop raise probably, but rest is fine. He probably has a flushdraw.

ok cool, thanks all

wtf brett, just read the comments i posted on all of those hands

I did - they were basically the same as the ones these guys posted, so everyone agrees =)

1 3bet pf, as played i hate c/r, he either has 8x, qx or a bluff, you beat 8x and a bluff so you dont get value by raising and qx doesnt fold so you just build a larger pot when you're drawing to 2 outs.
2 fine
3 push flop
4 raise more on flop, turn is good, river i sometimes shove as bluff cuz his bet is so weak and i dont think he has Ac very often but fold is pretty safe since you obv cant call
