Well if you push, everyone is getting the odds to call you, so you're probably going to be dominated or in a race situation, unless someone gets frisky with like qj or something silly.

I'd probably just fold, wait for a better spot, but depending on the table and your willingness to gamble, a push wouldn't have been bad.

Call seems bad to me though.

Fold preflop. I don't think you have quite enough fold equity for the squeeze, although it is tempting. Calling is bad.

Flop play is standard.

I fold, its just too much of your stack with an easily dominated hand that needs to hit to win.

Fold, I think you need 3.5k+ to push here.

Calling off 20% of your stack can't be right here. I would consider re-raising all-in but your stack is too small relative to the pot.

Fold preflop. And flop is obviously fine as played.

~1600 in the pot, the callers almost never dominate you and the PFR will often/usually fold say A7, I'd just shove.
