Default Bad night at Pokerstars

The worst night I've ever had at Pokerstars, I lost $70 from my $140 buy-in. Would you have played any of these 5 hands differently?

*********** Hand 1 **************
PokerStars Game #643622556: Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) 10 players

ME: SB [Js Jd]
Player 1: Middle

4 limp in to see a flop, I can't drive anyone out so limp.

*** FLOP *** [9c 7h 4s]
ME: bets $2
All fold to...
Player 1: calls $2

*** TURN *** [9c 7h 4s] [5c]
ME: bets $4
Player 1: calls $4

*** RIVER *** [9c 7h 4s 5c] [Qd]
ME: checks
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Player 1: shows [8s Qs] (a pair of Queens)
ME: [Js Jd]
Player 1 collected $27 from pot.

I included this hand as it was typical of 2 previous hands I had just played.



*********** Hand 2 **************
PokerStars Game #643619449: Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) 9 players

ME: Early [Th Qh]
Player 1: SB

I together with the blinds limp in. 3 people see the flop.

*** FLOP *** [6d Qs Qc]
All Chk. I flop 3 queens and decide to slowplay with only a 6 on a rainbow board.

*** TURN *** [6d Qs Qc] [4h]
Player 1: bets $4
Big Blind folds
ME: raises $4 to $8
Player 1: raises $4 to $12
ME: raises $4 to $16
Betting is capped
Player 1: calls $4 and is all-in

*** RIVER *** [6d Qs Qc 4h] [5d]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Player 1: shows [6s 6h] (a full house, Sixes full of Queens)
ME: mucks hand
Player 1 collected $37 from pot

Where should I have got away from the hand ???



*********** Hand 3 **************
PokerStars Game #643631086: Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) 10 players.

Player 1: middle
ME: late [Qd Qh]

Player 1: calls $2
ME: raises $2 to $4
Player 1: calls $2
2 see the flop.

*** FLOP *** [Ts Tc Js]
Player 1: checks
ME: bets $2
Player 1: calls $2

*** TURN *** [Ts Tc Js] [3c]
Player 1: checks
ME: bets $4
Player 1: raises $4 to $8
ME: calls $4

*** RIVER *** [Ts Tc Js 3c] [6d]
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Player 1: shows [Td Kd] (three of a kind, Tens)
ME: [Qd Qh]
player 1 collected $38 from pot

He could have had AJ or KJ when he Chk/Raised the turn, there was lots of bluffing going on. Should I have got away from the hand?



*********** Hand 4 **************
PokerStars Game #643638640: Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) 9 players

Player 1: UTG
ME: Early [As Ac]

Player 1: calls $2
ME: raises $2 to $4
Player 1: calls $2 w/ 2 others . 4 see the flop.


*** FLOP *** [Td Ah 4c]
Player 1: checks
ME: bets $2
All fold to...
Player 1: calls $2

*** TURN *** [Td Ah 4c] [Jd]
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

A caller becomes a bettor and I feel he has KQ for the straight to crack my aces, I guess I have 9 outs to a boat and the other Ace, does 10 outs enable me to re-raise?

*** RIVER *** [Td Ah 4c Jd] [7c]
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Player 1: shows [Ad Kc] (a pair of Aces)
ME: shows [As Ac] (three of a kind, Aces)
ME: collected $36 from pot

A few players were coming in with AK and AQ without a raise to trap others, the betting was relentless and pots were reaching $100+ every other hand. I had just had pocket queens cracked and 3 queens beaten before that. Should I have jammed the Turn and River here even if I thought I was behind ?


*********** Hand 5 **************
PokerStars Game #643641572: Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) 8 Players

ME: Button [As Js]
Player 1: UTG
5 limp in to see the flop.

*** FLOP *** [6c Qh Ac]
All check to...
Player 1: bets $2
ME: raises $2 to $4
All fold to..
Player 1: raises $2 to $6
ME: calls $2

I've got what I wanted and driven the other players out but I'm surprised with a re-Raise and immediately suspect 2 pair here, probably A6 but I can't fold!

*** TURN *** [6c Qh Ac] [8s]
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

*** RIVER *** [6c Qh Ac 8s] [Ks]
Player 1: bets $4
ME: calls $4

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Player 1: shows [Ad Qd]
ME: As Js

Player 1 collected $37 from pot. Where should I have let it go ?

Thanks.
