Default Re: 5 hands. Good? Bad? Straightforward?

Hand 1)
I would bet the flop. If you get some folds then you have a chance to win the hand without improving. If you get some calls then it cost you nothing or maybe is even +EV. Betting your good hands from the BB gives you cover for those times you want to bluff.

The flush coming in on the turn will freeze-up a lot of players who bet the flop with top pair and get called in a couple of spots so betting the turn is best after you check-called the flop.

Hand 2)
I wouldn't raise KTs UTG+1 limper or no limper. Iwould prefer to play it multiway for 1 bet than shorthanded for 2. Bet the river.

Hand 3)
You left a lot of bets on the table postflop. Easy reraise on the river give the action. Raiser has Kx.

Hand 4)
Bet the turn and check the river if you wish. Checking behind on the turn headsup invites him to bet the river which you will have to call.

Hand 5)
Raise the river but just call a 3-bet.
