Matthew 10:33 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."
So, since Peter denied Jesus 3 times, Jesus denied him to God, right?

Where's the verse that says "Unless he asks for forgiveness"?

I have been told that finding technical errors in the Bible is like shooting fish in a barrel; after a while it ceases to be a worthwhile sport.
Who knows maybe Jesus told the father "who is this guy" then repented the forth time and said "Just kidding, I just wanted to see the look on his face"

That would have been the case if Peter had not repented. But Peter did in fact repent and turn back to the Lord Whom he had denied in a moment of weakness, and as a result was given primary pastoral responsibility for and authority over the people of God, a responsibility and authority that his successors have ministered ever since.

No Peter did not go to hell, & BTW Peter was not a pope he was an Apostle, The popes today do NOT preach anything that Peter preached, Now you are trying to use One verse out of context, When Peter follow Jesus, Peter was not even yet converted or born again. Because Jesus told Peter after you are converted stenghten your brothers, What was Jesus saying & why was he saying it, Because in order to be converted & Born Again You need the Holy Ghost, & Peter did NOT have the Holy Ghost until on the day of Pentacost, Then is was Petre who spoke first, why because it was given to him the keys or revelation into the revealed word of God

and Jesus forgave Peter 3 times after his resurrection,'Peter do you love me?' and gave him his commission. No, Peter went to heaven.

No.
Jesus specifically forgave Peter three times.
John 21:15-17 states:
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep.
With love in Christ.
