FWIW, i think it's easier if you start new posts and put one hand per post. anyway...
hand 1
dump on the turn... you're most likely drawing dead to the last A or a K for the high and your low draw is no good. odds (odds or implied) don't justify anything else.
hand 2
bet the flop and dump to heat (likely a str8 or wrap). the turn, as played, is tough. i would be tempted to dump it, as you are likely drawing dead to an A for the high and your low is counterfeitable and not the nuts.
hand 3
i would probably dump this one pf unless it was folded to me in LP and i would raise to try to isolate one of the blinds or steal the blinds. on the flop, three wheel cards and you don't have the wheel... yuck. on the turn, with a flush out and a family pot, it's time to dump. you are drawing to very few outs for what will most likely be half the pot.
hand 4
i think you played it well. what else can you do? that's omaha. at least he didn't really punish you on the river. fwiw, i probably would have folded on the river for two reasons: 1) i am not last to act, and it is possible that someone is trapping and will raise behind me, and 2) with four people in the pot, you've got to be thinking that someone has a boat. i think it's a really good crying call if you close the action.
hand 5
plain vanilla suckout. you played it well.
hope this helps.
