Late Stage party hands.

hi, I think I need help with my late stage play, since I'm not sure exactly when to push, when to fold, when to limp and when to just raise, so here are few hands.I hope that if you say that: fold or raise then maybe to explain so I would know how to play my future hands.

Hand 1
22 I would more than likely push. Reason, BB has enough chips that he wants to protect them and will likely have a fairly tight calling range, if he call with over cards we still win 50%. If the blinds were smaller I probably fold here but with 600 already in the pot it looks like a good situation to steal.

Hand 2
57s I would turbo fold this. Reason, we are in bad position with a terrible hand pushing into 3 stacks bigger than us with the big stack on the BB.

Hand 3
KJo I fold here. Button makes a pretty much pot commited raise into the big stack so I am putting him on a fairly strong hand. You won this hand but I am looking to fold and then push next time it is folded around to me.

Hand 4
AJo I fold here. Good fold, with BB being so short we do not want to get involved with the big stack here at all.

Hand 5
98s Not sure. I would usually fold here but might also steal too depending on how the table has been playing and my table image. Fold to a re-raise though.
