Default A bubble hand with some context

I'm most interested in my play in the third hand. But I think the hand I care about is read dependant, so I'm posting a few hands to give a little bit of context. Villian was playing pretty tight preflop, and the posted hands is where he got his stack from. Note that I agonized forever before calling the first one. I decided that I was ahead here enough of the time that the 2:1 odds were correct to call. The other two hands I was not involved in, they are just there for context reasons.
