outphase
Hand 1: smooth call flop/raise the turn is ok, but your line here is great, no need to get fancy. You find out who is drawing by the cold calls.

Hand 2: Raise or fold preflop, I'd raise at the HJ like you. Given that you raised preflop, I'd also raise the flop for 2 reasons: 1. might scare off the BB donkbetter or 2. buy you a free card for the broadway where the importance of 1 >> 2 because 2 is sometimes spewy, esp if BB bets the turn again.

Hand 3: Raise it up preflop, check/3bet seems iffy to me, raise preflop and the hand changes from there.

i agree with outphase on the first 2 hands , hand 3 i fold it preflop utg,cause im in shit position and kq is a marginal hand at best , i would play it if it were suited

hand4 , bet out the flop for information if you get popped fold , everything else in the hand is pretty standard the guy played the hand perfectly it happens very rarely at .5/1

hand5
always be wary when someone cold calls you preflop , yea alot of donks do it w/o a clue but just keep an eye out for it, its an indication of strength, this is hand is funny because the BB is such a superdonk ,watch the CO and how he cold called a bet and a raise on the flop,i would have folded the 3 bet just because of that, thats the kind of thing your looking for when your trying to put a read on other players


i would stay away from .5/1 at party,to me its the one game that most resembles low stakes casino games , the game is winnable and profitable in the long run but its very donky and has lots of variance
