What do you think of my lines? Generally, I'm raising if I'm the first one in so hand #1 is weird.

I'll explain my reasoning, esp for hand #2, later if so needed.

1.

A bit of history here. First hand on the table against UTG, I reraised him preflop, flopped a set of tens and accidentally minbet him on the turn after I called his moderate size flop bet... he folded when I raised his river bet hard. He said that he wasn't sure if had AK or TT.... and the hand after that said "nice bluff".

I later stacked him when his trip 8s ran into my FH.

UTG ($95.50)
Hero ($194.65)
MP1 ($43.30)
MP2 ($164.30)
MP3 ($97.15)
CO ($175.30)
Button ($54.85)
SB ($90.35)
BB ($95.50)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , .
UTG calls $1, Hero calls $1, 6 folds, BB checks.

Flop: ($3.50) , , (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $2, Hero raises to $7, BB folds, UTG says "WTF dude"...

2.
This is a different table but took place simultaneous with #1!

MP1 was quite loose pre and would limp-call all sorts of stuff. I don't remember him showing down a premium hand at all, nor did he raise preflop.

Opp was willing to GamBOOL: he limp-reraised with 44 on one hand in LP and said in chat that his (college sports team) was doing well, so he felt lucky after he won that hand....
