A few coolers/ bad play? let me know what you think

Just had a real good win at 2/3 cashed up $900 for ten hours... but then went back couple days later... Here's a few hands I've had... let me know what you think.

#1 - 95o in the bb... eff. stacks 400 like 5 limpers, comes a5x... tightish guy in mp leads out 15 (but could mean weak ace), one other caller in front of me... so I call. Turn is a blank... he leads out 20 I think... same caller, I call... river is a 5.. ep checks, I donk bet 65... mp raises 75.... I'm pretty sure I'm beat, but no way I'm folding with those pot odds...

#2 - K9hh... eff. stacks 100 old guy who overvalues overpairs/top pairs raises 15 pre like 5 callers in front of me on CO... so I call. Flop comes j73 two hearts. Old guy bets 25... I call one other caller in the blinds. Turn is a blank I think a 4, old guy shoves 60, I call ($60 into $210 with likely another 60), ep calls. River comes a heart... out flushed... by Ax suited, just a cooler I think, maybe the turn call is a bit loose.

#3 - TT in lp... I raise to 25 after 4/5 limpers (will get callers with these biggish cold raises in this game) get two callers. Flop is q76 checks to me, pot is 75. EP has 95 left (didn't see that at the time).. he is a friend who is reasonably tight. I CBet to 55 (thinking that it doesn't look like they've hit, have to protect my tens, don't want to give a free card etc, pot is reasonable. Mate shoves for 40 more... I spew call.. ($40 into 225)

#4 Q7 suited on button... I limp with about 8 others. Flop is qq2 two spades. MP bets at it $10... I flat like 5 players to turn ... my reasoning being wanting to build a pot and jam a non spade turn as well as not wanting to obviously have the queen... dunno, what do you think about this? I mean if a spade comes my hand becomes a drawing hand, alot mroe likely to get action on turn... anyway turn is ten of clubs... mp bets the same, I shove for 75 more, mp calls... flips over kj spades... hits the spade ont he river

#5 AK 100 stack. 6 or 7 limpers I'm on button... I raise to $19... get 4 callers. Flop comes 10jx checks to me. I shove for 81 more. (pot is about $90) One caller... flips over q9... 8 on the river. Obviously a cooler... I think I like my shove... got to be some fold equity here, pot is reasonable... if I get called I'm usually still in not too bad shape.

hit me with some criticism!

Fold the flop, no money in the pot, you're out of position and the hands you're drawing to will finish in second place a fair clip of the time.

Big pot, I shove the flop as his continuation bet looks weak and there isn't much money behind. Cooler.

This is a snap call.

I take the free card 5-way with a JTx flop. 3 to the flop and I'm more inclined to shove.

yeah I hear you re: 95 hand.... good reasoning. the K9hh hand... my reasoning behind calling was that there was one guy in the pot behind me... and I wanted him to call and give me better pot odds... and also I was like 90% positive the old guy would've called, probably closer to 100... which is about break even vs his range? JJ+... given his body language here I can severely discount AQ AK, maybe AJ is there, (turned out he had qq).

If you're sure he's strong, sure, may as well flat. Otherwise maximizing your chance to win the pot has way more value here than overcalls. When the pot is big, you should be trying to find ways to win it.

edit: Also there are a lot of hands you'd like to see fold to clean up your Kx outs.
