3 hands in 5 deals... way too passive/sucky?

    Default 3 hands in 5 deals... way too passive/sucky?

    I joined the table maybe 10 hands before, no reads, PAHUD didn't have anyone above 30 hands there so nothing really relevant in that area.

    FOCUS: Am I being too weak pre-flop? I want to disguise my premium hands to a point, and it makes no sense to open raise 10x the bb and have everyone fold. It's a fine line to walk, what should I do?

    Hand 1 I'll leave for the resident experts. This crap happens to me all the time, usually when I have a set and I don't fill on the river. As played, you might've been up against a set anyway and he's protecting against getting flushed on the river. That's my take, anyway. Good fold.

    Hand 2-- I play the same. That's poker-- short stack donks win every once in a while; if they didn't they wouldn't come back to play anymore. Let him file K2s in his head as a good hand to call a PFR with and hope you get to play with him a lot more.

    Hand 3-- bad flop for you OOP in a multiway pot. Good c/f. NH

    #2: 1.50 preflop. rest is fine.
    #3: good.
