These are some spots that are giving me trouble. I have been thinking about these and am still not sure if I played correctly or if my thoughts on the hands are correct and would like some feedback.

I beat a bluff, a 6, and low pocket pairs ... but V probably wouldn't play those this way right? Perhaps I should have bet the turn to avoid this situation?

I figured here at best I am racing ... this is a simple spot right? I have a big skill edge but we are also so short. He has seem me pretty active, could be playing back with some broadways or ?

Is this just a raise pre or fold pre thing? Pretty sure I can't call this as we saw the flop 4-ways. Have not seen any big limped hands or anything tricky from this table.

The 4bb raise was fishy, V was generally opening smaller. Should I have called or raised or is this a good fold? Calling seems potentially marginal and if I raise I should be raising to ~320-380 at which point I'm basically committed, so an all-in would seem more appropriate, but all-in with AJ doesn't seem like where I want to be.
