Default Folded three winners last night in fair size pots

Poker is a funny game. I just went through a streak where I won 21 out of 25 10-20 sessions over about 7 weeks. My 4 losses combined were only for $410. On most nights, I felt that I brought my "A" game to the table and was seeing things very clearly and reading hands and people very well.

Obviously, I also hit a few flops...

...But things have a funny way of evening out. 3 straight losing sessions (albeit fairly small) and several poorly played hands later, I am now starting to wonder whether I know what the hell I am doing.

Anyway, here are three hands that I mucked last night in a 10-20 kill game. All were winners. All are leading me to question my judgment but perhaps, I am being results-oriented...you decide.

Hand No. 1

55 in the sb. 3 limpers. Late position raise. I call. bb (an excellent player) 3 bets. All call

Flop: 442 rainbow

I check (?)

bb bets. Everyone calls.

turn: 4

I check. bb bets. Loose aggressive player in MP raises. All fold to me. I fold. bb just calls...my heart sinks at this point...

river: 9

bb checkcalls. Loose aggressive takes it down with J2 offsuit. Presumably, he limped in preflop because he had won the previous pot and had a leg up to get the kill button. Believe it or not, there are guys in my casino who play any two cards once they have a leg up on the kill. They think it's good to get the kill button.

Anyway, do you think I played it way too timid (i.e. on the flop), way too loose preflop, way too "pot odds blind" on the turn etc etc

Hand No. 2

Ak in the sb. 3 betted preflop with 5 or 6 way action. The excellent player UTG is in the hand with a raise and a loose goose somewhere down stream had 3 bet.

Flop: J95

There is a bet and a raise. I fold. bb calls.

Turn: K

bb bets and gets called by both players

River is a blank. He gets paid off in both spots and takes it down with KsQs.

Hand No. 3

TT UTG. I limp. A player two to my left raises. Bunch of coldcallers. Both blinds call. 7 or 8 way action.

Flop: QQ3

PFR bets. Button and both blinds call. I am now closing the betting and call (?)

Turn: 8h putting two hearts on the board

sb bets. bb calls. I fold. PFR calls.

River: low heart

Everyone checks.

sb wins with A3.

WTF?
