Big pots

[knifeyspoony]

2/4 6 Max, 3 hands I (mis?)played yesterday, all on different tables. Comments appreciated.

Hand 1 - I hadn't been at the table very long, I'd made a few pre-flop raises and hadn't played any big pots. Villain had been making loose calls and weakish bets, I hadn't seen him play a big pot either.

Hand 3 - Villain was possibly tilting and out to get me. I'd recently bet him out of a few pots and picked off a decent sized bluff. His pre-flop raising/calling range is very wide here.
