Just lost about half of a buyin over 500 boring hands, but what do you guys think of the way I played these hands?

Hand 1: This guy had been min-raising preflop a lot, and I repopped him here with AQs in position and a shortstacked cold-called as did the min-raiser. Everything is standard in this hand right?

Stack sizes:
UTG: $37.25
Hero: $34.60
Button: $23.94
SB: $8.25
BB: $24.85

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with Q A
UTG raises to $0.5, Hero raises to $2.5, Button folds, SB calls $2.4, BB folds, UTG calls $2.

Flop: T 8 A ($7.75, 3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $4, SB raises all-in $5.75, UTG folds, Hero calls $1.75.

Turn: 3 ($19.25, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $19.25)


River: J ($19.25, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $19.25)


Results:
Final pot: $19.25
Hero shows Qh Ah
SB shows Tc Ac

Hand 2: This was a tough hand, but I think I made the correct laydown here. Should I always lead this turn here?

Hand 3: This guy had been calling me down on every c-bet, I wasn't sure what to do but I didn't think he was very strong so I made a play on him, something I don't normally do. Thoughts?

Hand 4: These situations come up a million times over, but I never know what to do. I flop top pair weak kicker in the blinds, and I lead out and get called. Should I just check-fold this on the turn? It always ends up at the showdown and my kicker isn't any good.

Hand 1, yeah, with short stacks nothing to be done.
Hand 2... kinda weak fold, but he might have the J. Your turn bet was weak (< 1/2 pot), if his raise was bigger I would be more inclined to call. You almost have odds to call and hit your 2 outer.
Hand 3, if he's callling your c-bets, that's a horrible flop to c-bet. As played, nice move (since it worked)
Hand 4 you pretty much lost the least there, thanks to the moron calling station.
