Default calling raises from the BB, 5 scenarios and various hands (very long)

Sorry this is so long, a couple of replies to let me know if I'm generally headed in the right direction will be good enough for me.

I'm wondering how to play various hands from the BB with regard to pot size, # of people in the hand and position of the raiser

I will list what my preferred action is, correct me where I'm wrong, i'm using the same list of hands for all situations, somehands i have call/fold or fold/call where I'm unsure

Situation 1: UTG raises, CO cold calls, SB calls (7 SB) and last to act

AQo - call
A9o - fold
A5o - fold
A7s - call looking for more than TP
A2s - call looking for more than TP

KJo - call - calling with this hand in this spot makes me nervous
KTs - call
K8s - fold
K2s - fold

QJo - fold
QTs - call
Q9s - call
Q8s - fold
Q5s - fold

JTs - call
J9s - call but like it less than JTs
J8s - call but like it less than JTs - J9s and J8s I actually like less than some of the hands listed below
JTo - fold
J9o - fold
T9s - call
98s - call
98s - call
97s - fold
96s - fold
87s - call
86s - fold
76s - call
75s - fold
54s - fold
53s - fold


Situation 2: UTG limps, MP raises, button cold calls, SB calls (8 SB) and 1 to act

AQo - call
A9o - fold
A5o - fold
A7s - call
A2s - call

KJo - call
KTs - call
K8s - fold
K2s - fold

QJo - call/fold - i would want to call here looking for 2 pair or better, although I honestly have a hard time getting away from TP
QTs - call
Q9s - call
Q8s - call
Q5s - fold

JTs - call
J9s - call
J8s - call
JTo - call
J9o - fold - if I want to call with JTo should I also want to call with this hand? is calling with either ok?
T9s - call
T8s - call
98s - call
97s - call
96s - fold
87s - call
86s - call
76s - call
75s - call
54s - fold
53s - fold

Situation 3: UTG limps, MP limps, CO raises, SB calls (7 SB) and 2 to act

AQo - call
A9o - fold
A5o - fold
A7s - call
A2s - call

KJo - call
KTs - call
K8s - fold
K2s - fold

QJo - call
QTs - call
Q9s - call
Q8s - call
Q5s - fold

JTs - call
J9s - call
J8s - call
JTo - call
J9o - call - don't like it as much as JTo however
T9s - call
T8s - call
98s - call
97s - fold
96s - fold
87s - call
86s - fold
76s - call
75s - fold
54s - call
53s - call

Situation 4: UTG limps, Button raises, SB folds (4.5 SB) and 1 to act

AQo - call, I'm tempted to 3-bet here, but OOP I just call and look at the flop
A9o - call
A5o - fold
A7s - torn between calling/folding, usually fold
A2s - fold

KJo - call
KTs - call, but somewhat hesitant
K8s - fold
K2s - fold

QJo - call, i feel better about TP in this scenario but should I fold because I'm OOP and could easily be dominated by a # of hands?
QTs - call
Q9s - fold
Q8s - fold
Q5s - fold

JTs - call
J9s - fold
J8s - fold
JTo - call
J9o - fold
T9s - fold
T8s - fold
98s - fold
97s - fold
96s - fold
87s - fold
86s - fold
76s - fold
75s - fold
54s - fold
53s - fold

Situation 5: UTG limps, MP limps, CO limp, Button raises, SB calls (8 SB) and 3 left to act

AQo - call, if it was AQs would that change my line?
A9o - torn between folding/calling, fold because this isn't a hand made for 6 player action but I want to call because of the large pot
A5o - fold
A7s - call
A2s - call

KJo - call
KTs - call
K8s - call/fold
K2s - fold/call

QJo - call
QTs - call
Q9s - call
Q8s - call
Q5s - call/fold - not sure why but i actually like this hand better than K2s

JTs - call
J9s - call
J8s - call
JTo - call
J9o - call
T9s - call
T8s - call
98s - call
97s - call
96s - call
87s - call
86s - call
76s - call
75s - call
54s - call
53s - call

due to the # of players and expected pot size once the remaining 3 players act, I'm tempted to call with many other hands too, suited 2 and 3 gappers and 98-54o

You will get more replies if your posts arn't so long and if they don't ask so many questions. Try breaking this up into a few different threads.

This gives me a headache. Maybe you should've posted it like

call with: KTo+, K9s+ , etc.

I'll take a stab, though.

This is all very read dependent, but I'll cover the reraises:

In large, raised, multiway pots against loose players, I like to reraise AJo+, ATs+, KQo+, KJs+, QTs+, JTs+;

If there are no raises until the button, I'd loosen up to
ATo+, A9s+, KJo+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs+.

My calling range is much larger, but it's too complicated and situation dependent.
