Microstakes grind

I've always enjoyed reading others PGCs and thought it would be fun to post my own.
Poker this year has been pretty mediocre lol- i joined a coaching/staking stable, made it from 50nl-playing a few orbits of 200nl- but then left a few months later for a few reasons. Have had little motivation/not much time to grind last few months but getting back into the swing of things as summer ends. Still deciding what game I want to focus towards between Nlhe and PLO but gonna mainly play NL for the time being. Will be playing 25nl for now.
results on the month are pretty poor(doing well in EV though!)

Hopefully things will turn around somewhat as August ends!

Played two short sessions this morning and afternoon- both went pretty bad lol.
https://gyazo.com/f3650172a79840e61125bc1ea1d39783
Only had one interesting hand really.
https://gyazo.com/c3d62605f4b9328354f081441dee25b6
(idk how to actually post/format the hands/graphs so will just post gyazo links for now)
I wanted to fold river but still snap called; obv run into AQ
. it is possible he value bets worse though(KJ/77/[even though i expect most micro villains to call pre with these hands] and maybe he barrels Qx diamonds.or maybe someone actually trys to bluff lmao. Think my line is fine though- maybe raising turn is better than calling vs half pot?

Withdrew a large amount of my roll yesterday- poker has been incredibly frustrating recently, feel like im running so terribly.
Results since starting the thread:https://gyazo.com/169521795f9b9f4966c7aec415a260f3
Lol now on the year im at 0.35bb/100 while being 4.1bb/100 in EV-(44k hands on tracked sites which is only past 4 or 5 months or so-volume pretty low but im just getting crushed)
Some hands:
Idk maybe could fold to jam- i dont see how he ever has a 2 though- maybe AT jams, but i expect some Axdd/QJdd whatever
Think my bluff is good here- could bet/check/bet or just go small/small/jam- again i run into nuts though.
Annoying spot- should probably just be barreling turn instead of going for check raise/shove. Don't even like my river bet- pretty hard to get called by worse- don't like check call either though as i dont think hell valuebet thin enough/have many worse combos. Also dont think most villains ever will turn SD into bluffs- so against river jam i have easy fold.
Lol its pretty tilting to just sit and lose 2 or 3 buyins every time i play- theres only 10 buyins left in my account now- will either just continue playing 25nl untill i win enough or untill i bust and then quit online poker forever lol.

Results since last update:
https://gyazo.com/9748ce20bed45d97e3c67caa8be6d16a
played some 25nl+plo, continue to get crushed. Was about to withdraw the remainder of my roll, but had some difficulties with ignition and bitcoin. Decided to just run it up, played small amount of 1/2 zone and doubled up. tbh not sure if im going to continue playing poker- may play sporadically.
Some hands:
Incredibly dumb spot- not sure how/why he bluffs into sidepot/how he calls flop raise. I snap folded too haha.
:
Gross spot- think its standard to go with middle set with blocker here? villain should have some worse hands with decent equity in this spot( two pair with fd+gutshot etc)
bad flop but good hold!
5b against cold 4bet and get the fold.
