This last hand clearly going for more exploitative play since these guys are just showing up with random hands. Figured I could get some random 2 pair to fold, but probably should have known better given previous preflop plays. Still getting the money in decent here...

Bankroll $5400 -> $4700. Currently like 23 buy ins under ev

Small update. I've played a bit at the beginning of the new year and won a few buy-ins. Bankroll is at $5200. Since then I've taken a break to focus more on work and some personal projects. Sad to say that I haven't been all that motivated to play again. I think if I do fire up a session, I'll find some motivation. However, I'm not sure that Poker is the best use of my time. The goal was to learn PLO and make money on the side of my programming job. I've done well to achieve a winning winrate, but I'm not sure how much more I'm going to add to my income by playing 100PLO. And I don't want to move up stakes without first getting to there with my current BR. While I like Poker and PLO a lot, I'm not sure if it's something I really want to be investing my time in outside of work. It's hard to achieve volume when playing part time. The best use of my time is probably to keep getting better at my current job, saving more money to invest, and then taking shots at things I would find more fulfillment in that can make money (e.g. creating a business, content creation, etc). It feels kind of lame to quit only 30k hands in and while I'm making progress -- I would have liked to reach at least 100k hands -- so we'll see what happens.
