Hand 1: Looks pretty standard to me.

Hand 2: I don't like the cap on the river at all. By this point it's obvious you are splitting at best and losing it all at worst. Maybe I'm giving people too much credit though.

Hand 3: I probably bet the river...If he doesn't have the balls to bet it, I doubt he has the ace

Hand 4: Looks good to me

Hand 5: Tough situation to be in, but I play it the same.

I agree with Nehmer except hand 3, you can lay this down against a lot of players. You can also raise the turn and take a free showdown. You wound up wit ha free showdown anyway, so good play the way it worked out.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

Hand 1 - Looks fine (Gaybet is suspect here)

Hand 2 - call the river...dont like the raise.

Hand 3 - definately bet the river. In retrospect a turn raise may not have been out of question but you wouldnt know that without a read. (note the guy).

Hand 4 - pretty standard.

Hand 5 - I prefer bet/fold to check/call. The second A is too obvious and you've been the aggressor
Superb play sir...I always call 20% of my stack off with a gutshot draw. Excuse me while I race for my wallet.

Thanks guys- here are the results and some comments.

Hand 1: Villain has Q4o...my only question is the gaybet when that draw completes, but with MP3 yet to act I think it's pretty clear I have to raise.

Hand 2: Split. A5s. Looking at it now I see lots of hands he could have with a six...

Hand 3: Villain has KdJd(!) and I probably miss a bet on the turn but not the river- however, I like betting the river when checked to better than raising the turn.

Hand 4: Was very surprised to see a grossly misplayed AK. Whatever.

Hand 5: Villain has Ad4d. I don't think I can do much here without him showing any strength all along, including preflop. poskid suggested bet/fold, which I have a hard time doing. Since reading SSH so many times I don't fold many rivers (heads up) unless the pot is really small or I've got nothing. Leak?

The only reason that I prefer bet/fold is because cahnces are an ace whore is going to simply call...If he raises you, the muck sounds fine...But I want a chance to win this on the river where i've been the aggressor.

If I bet the river and he folds, I probably would have won anyway, so I figured I'd try to get him to bluff and eliminate the possibility of a raise.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 Ive got a question for you:

Whats with the constant moving in games? I've seen you play 1/2 to 3/6 full here and maybe even 5/10 6 max on another post. I hope you aren't playing outside your BR at all and I would suggest sticking to a game to get used to the betting and the action.

Yeah I can see that looks weird. I haven't played 5/10 6 max, but I was up at 5/10 full at one point. After a -270BB swing that sent me back down to 2/4, I've abandoned the 300BB rule for the 500BB rule. I'm more comfortable that way. The reason there are so many limits in my post is that it's hard to find a good table at UB, where I'm clearing a bonus. So I'll play any game that looks good up to the limit I'm bankrolled for, which is currently 3/6.

One thing that's interesting is that since changing from 300 to 500 BB, my graphs of profit vs hands and BB vs hands look weird. BB vs hands is a normal warbly, but vaguely linear increase. Bur profit has this goofy spike/huge pit from 5/10 that I still haven't recovered from.
