Trying to find more folds rather than calling down just because I am curious.

They all look reasonable without reads. Consider checking the flop on hand 1, perhaps raising a late position bet.

I had PT and GT+ stats but these were from yesterday and it would take too long to find them.

I must stop 'follow through' flop bets when there are so many players in the pot though!

I agree, all look pretty good except for the continuation bet in hand 1. I'd check that one through and evaluate from there.

In the first hand, I think I would have checked the flop and called if it was one bet back to me. This is something that often bothers me. With 5 players on the flop, it seems like it shouldn't be played like a short-handed game anymore. If there were only 3 players on that flop, I like betting out. But with 5, I often fall back on the full ring style of play (which itself may be a little "weak").

In the second hand, I would be tempted to call down. If button is aggressive, he could view the paired board as an opportunity to raise you with K high or a smaller pocket pair. If he's passive, though, good fold.

In the third hand, it says there are 4 players on the turn, but I only see 3. If it's 3 players on the turn and it's checked to you in last position, I would check and maybe call one bet on the river. Given that you bet, though, I think you have to fold. With small blind in the pot, it's very unlikely big blind is bluffing.

After reading the other replies I see that people generally agree that, without reads, this fold is good. But what if there was a read that button was fairly aggressive. I assume calling the flop raise would be good in that case. But then how to play the rest of the hand?
