Yup. I figured you won pot 1 because the preflop raise.

When you limp, you have to consider others will limp almost anything. Hand 2 is a tough play, he could have two pair and trying to protect against the str8 as well. Hand 3 I try for the cheap showdown by check/calling if the bet isn't too high.
