Man you got some solid advice there already, not sure what else I can add but here goes.
Your vpip/pfr numbers look pretty decent, probably a little on the tighter side for 6max but certainly within what I consider optimal range. VPIP from SB looks about right too, as do your blind stealing/defense/fold numbers. I doubt any major leaks would come from those stats anyway in NL.
Your wtsd and w$sd numbers are a little low though, especially your wtsd of 17.43%. It's been a while since i've analyzed PT stats but I think you want this number around 22%. Having it at 17% probably means a few things: a) you're running bad, b) you're folding too much on the river (also look at your folded to river bet number at 83%, this also seems high - for contrast, mine is at 69%), and c) your river bets may be too large and/or you're betting too frequently (this could just be marginal valuebets not getting calls by missed bluffs, or weak hands).
Your aggression numbers are pretty damn high, even for 6max. I'm not really sure what to say as everyone has their own styles and yours has always been to use a high level of aggression, except that you should expect a lot of variance and to reiterate not to worry about the way things are going after only 5k hands. I really think you need 50k to get a good idea at nl200 6max.
Another thing that kinda sticks out, your "First action on flop after a pre-flop raise" has your raising only 0.85% of the time, meaning that whenever someone leads into you, you're usually folding (considering you call only 2% of the time), I think that's a little weak/tight in general and most times people are leading into me I find they have a pretty bad hand, except in cases you're up against a decent player in which case you can adjust, but against those shortstacks or random donks, I usually raise most of their probe or half-pot bets into you on the flop. If they full pot I usually let it go simply because it'll cost too muh to find out if they really have it, but yeah, get what i'm saying?
Not really sure if that adds anything or if I just repeated stuff you already knew..but once again, 5k hands is nothing. You'll crush the average donk over time, just wait it out and don't get too fancy and their money will be yours. Also learning to hit 2-outers helps a LOT.
