How would you play A  T  past the flop at a 9 player table in the following scenarios?
Blinds are say 25/50. In all cases you have raised (and were called) to 120 pre-flop, 3 players see the flop and you are on the button. You are middle of the field (say 1500) in the chip count and in each case you have been raised to 240 after the following flops. The other 2 players are generally more aggressive than you without being over the top. You are more or less equal with them in the chip count.
Scenario 1. Flop - 2  6 8  .
Scenario 2. Flop - 2 8 K
Scenario 3. Flop - T Q K
Scenario 4. Flop - T K K
Scenario 5. Flop - J J A
How many of these hands would you play and how would you play them?
I could go on but I'd love to see some opinions on at least some of these. Thanks in advance.

Where are your two callers? Did they limp in front and then call the raise, or are they the two blinds? If they're already in, you have to raise more. An extra 70 is getting called by almost any hand that limped in front, including ones that could hit these boards hard.
I would probably raise on 4 and 5 (and not be happy about it) and fold the rest (while not being happy about it).

As sean has suggested, we need ALOT more specific info.
However, AT suited is no the best hand in the world preflop, therefore you really need to hit something on the flop. IMO on all five situations, you've either hit poorly or missed altogether.
If you then get raised 240 after the flop-I'd fold on all five cases.(minus anymore specific info)

I think I fold them all.
