Hand 1: call. did you really hesitate here? He probably has a big A. Are you scared of TT? Seems like AJ-AK to me. Button can have anything, but very unlikely a 5.

Hand 2: Don't like the spot. You're probably beat. Maybe call and then see if you can get any clues on the river, but yuck.

Hand 3: Another tough spot. If he really made the straight or had just made a hand like K7, wouldn't he be better off check raising or check calling? You gave no indication that you would check the river.

Hand 4: Like the shove. No need to give him a free card for flush. Your push can also seem like you are on a flush draw and maybe, just maybe he calls with AQ.

Hand 5: I want to get it all in here for sure. You're not folding. I'm assuming you feel you're good and want them to gamble with you... right? If so... hmmm... the safe bet is to just push and perhaps one of them comes along with a hand like 88/TT/A9 thinking that you're on the draw. You can also check push, if you're fairly certain that the button will bet and it seems like he will bet this flop. Betting 10k or so is not bad either, but it would suck to see an A on the turn. I probably go for the check-push.
