Default Hand analysis from STT last night: would like some opinions

Hi guys, looking for some thoughts in regards to a few hands from a tournament last night. Will have some notes on each hand to try to put them in perspective, but would like to get everyone's take on a few of them. Thanks in advance

Hero (t1375)
UTG (t1925)
MP (t575)
CO (t1055)
Button (t1595)
SB (t1475)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t50.

Flop: (t225) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t125</font>, CO calls t125.

Turn: (t475) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t250</font>, CO calls t250.

River: (t975) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t580 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1555

Notes on this hand: My table image was solid going in, playing very few pots but won a coinflip earlier on of two overcards versus an underpair hence the size of my chip stack. I figured I could close betting with a middle pair, and obviously missed the flop. Fired two barrels at it trying to pick it up and figured I was beat (CO showed AJ offsuit, so bad read on my part). Should I have fired only one shot?

Hero (t875)
MP (t1925)
CO (t575)
Button (t1405)
SB (t1420)
BB (t1800)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, MP calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t675) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets t100</font>, Button folds, Hero calls t100.

Turn: (t875) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks.

River: (t875) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks.

Final Pot: t875

Notes on this hand: Image was the same as earlier, have played maybe 1 hand tops since the first hand. After seeing two calls after an out of position raise I wasn't sure what I had. No reraise so I figured on Middle Pair or big cards for a draw. Check / call I wasn't thrilled about, I didn't want to run a check / raise with no piece of it. Opponent had A10o

Hero (t1350)
BB (t1625)
UTG (t575)
MP (t1405)
CO (t1395)
Button (t1650)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t300) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (t750) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks.

River: (t750) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t150</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t900

Notes on this hand: I was figuring to close betting and see a flop (cost only 50). I probably should have NOT called on the turn with just a gutshot straight draw. I'm not feeling the whole 'fold preflop' here, but am not happy about the call on the turn.

Hero (t1025)
UTG (t2250)
MP (t1655)

Final Pot: t1400

Raiser who put it up to 300 had been on several steal attempts earlier from my reads. Was this too aggressive of a move? I had not put my chips at risk until this point.

River: (t1600) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t1600

This was my last pot: 25% of my chips were in the pot with my BB, figured it was push with any 2...I wasn't able to move first with any authority, so I really wasn't sure what my options were otherwise. If I fold, I have a stack of 600, and then post a 100 dollar small blind, putting my stack at 500...less than 3BB. 2 hands earlier there was a min-raise when I had K5o, and after thinking of pushing (my stack was 1000) I folded and raiser showed AKo.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, was on a self imposed break and per the suggestion of people here to put up some hands to analyze, I'd like some opinions. Thanks!

#1...you have the chips to call the minraise IMO. check/fold the missed flop.

#2...fold PF. It's still early and you still have plenty of chips. No reason at all to play this hand.

#3...i don't even complete from the SB. I certainly would have folded the flop bet - you can't call off 20+% of your stack on an ISD.

#4...not so bad w/ your read i suppose. but you'll be clear of the blinds shortly. i'd probably wait to open push with better.

$5...meh, i suppose. me? i don't mind so much having a few cracks at getting doubled up w/T500 - i'd wait, but that's just me.
