Hand mostly look OK to me. Hand 4 is an easy fold on the flop.
I don't usually bet so much on the early streets because I prefer to keep the pot small, but in these particular situations the boards aren't too bad for your hands. I like calling in hand 3 on the river, because I don't see a whole lot of value in raising.
Also, I don't understand PT stats, so I can't give you advice in light of that.

i think i DO raise the river in hand 3. but mainly because you checked behind on the turn

any thoughts on slowplaying hand 1? how about my passive line in hand 2?

A slowplay in hand one could work. You have position so let it do the work for you and also, it probably depends on how aggressive he is on the turn.
The problem is while we do want to keep the pots small, aggressive players and especially at these stakes, we may find that an overpair is good in this situation a lot. So I think a slowplay in this spot is a valid play.
In the other hand, I don't think I like the passive play on the turn. I don't know what he is usually calling with but checking the turn on that board is asking for trouble. I'd prefer to put out a blocking bet of some sort to see where he goes from there.
That all said, I never played 6 max NLH cash.

All these looks fine to me. I think the important bit is to switch abit back and forth between your passive and aggro lines, as this will make it very hard for your opponents to peg you, and not necessarily focus on an 'optimal' (wrong word) line all the time...being abit random can pack a big punch in 6-max.

1. This hand can be played various ways, slow playing this hand at this time may not have been as rewarding, slow playing trips when the board is paired is common practice and our opponents would have wanted to keep the pot small. I think this hand was played just fine.
2. I would question this call on the river, If I haven’t got part of it I just hate it when the board pairs, when an opponent bets the flop on a paired board JJ9 the best we can hope is that they have the 9, when the 9 hit the river I would have thought I was in big trouble. I would have made a blocking bet or folded on the river. Interested to know how this one turned out.
3. This look okay to me, hard to put him on any sort of a hand that can beat you, I could have poped this one up again on the river.
4. We only have 6 out and may also have to disregard the AKh because of the flush potential, we only have even money pot odds, not priced in this one and with the flush draw, possible strait draw or trips or a PP, many ways to loose. If we hit we may still be behind. Raising pre flop and calling was in my opinion the correct play but time now to get out.

Hand 1. I like. In a reraised pot with your hand and that flop, C-bet = $.
What do you do with AK in this spot?
Hand 2. I think I usually half-pot this turn. Lots of possible draws.
As played, you probably catch some missed draws, but Jx hands are taking you to value town.
What is your image at this table?
Hand 3. I like as played and I expect to take it down quite often. On river: Calling > R/F IMO.
Hand 4. OP sucks and I probably drop this fairly quickly. Are you thinking JJ and QQ are folding to a flop C/R? They may, but against an unknown it's going to become expensive to find out.
Any thoughts on 4-betting preflop?
