I'm pretty new as well, but will take a shot (so everyone can point out my errors as well).

Hand 1 - Make it about $8 to go preflop, don't get cute.
Hand 2 - Fine
Hand 3 - I come out betting on the flop, your hand is not strong enough for a check/raise and check/calling generally isn't a good play in no-limit.
Hand 4 - Fine
Hand 5 - I'd really want some reads on this hand to make a decision...If I'm going to play here I think I'd prefer to raise preflop, against a limper I'm not sure what'd I'd do with K8s. Flop is an auto-bet when everyone checks.

oi. a lot of hands in one post. gonna be difficult to get solid feedback about them all.. i'd split them up into a few posts next time.

hand 1. reraise preflop. you have KK, time to isolate and increase your chances of winning the pot. plus you're out of position. bad spot to be in playing a big pair.

hand 2. typical trouble hand. many cases you miss the flop and fold. some cases you have TPTK and can't go hard with it for fear of an overpair. other cases you have TPWK and can't go hard with it for fear of a lower kicker. other cases you end up sticking money in hoping for a flush draw. dream flops for you are those that give you combo-draws. in all of these cases you are out of position. as long as you know what to do in the situations listed above then calling preflop can't be too much of an issue.

hand 3. i lead the flop and do not put anymore money in unless it is a tiny amount on the river and board texture isn't scary. too easy to make bigger mistakes on later streets.

hand 4. i don't bluff into multiway pots.

hand 5. preflop call is meh. i prefer to raise it instead or just fold if blinds are too loose. you're in position and the hand sucks. try to take it down on most flops.
