Ok, here's the thing: I'm clearing the FTP bonus and decided it was time to stay away from save haven 10 nL and only play 25 nL and up from now. But in just 2 days I lost like 6 buy-inns for a whopping $150... and I start turning desperate, feeling the urge to go down again to 10 nL. Please look at some hands I post next, and comment (is it me or just variance?).

Hands 1-3 are about semi-hitting the flop as the pre-flop raiser. Should I play these any different (i.e. these situations add up to the total loss). Should I play them more agressive or just hope for some free cards because of the lack of folding equity at this level?

Hand 1:
(opp calls with any 2 pre and 'gets lucky all the time', very agro post flop)

1,2, and 3 look okay to me since you are OOP. You could stab at the turn in hand 3 to rep AJ but he prob calls anyway.

Hand 4 is standard against a shorty. At $25 there's a lot he could push here (FD, 77-QQ, str8 draws) that aren't sets, so I call up to 100 BBs most times.

Hand 5--He can have AA/KK but if so then meh. If he flopped str8 then you have redraw. If he has AK/AQ/AJ you are way ahead. Good push.

Hand 6 is standard, good call preflop, get it all in on flop if you can. JJ/QQ sucks but is only small part of range.

Hand 7 you could check behind turn for pot control. Flop raise is okay but when he calls he has to have something. As played when he pushes the rest in you have to call. He only had pot behind so all the money was going in when you bet.

Hand 8 is sick, I think I fold river. Cbet that flop in position though...and if you are going to raise the turn, raise to the size of the pot to force an unmade draw into a bad call.

 Hand 1: - Raise flop, fold to a push.
Hand 2: - I usually bet turn or river with a tight read, although if he's passive your line is probably ok. Hope you made a note of what he calls flop's with
Hand 3: - He probably has an A, without a better read looks fine
Hand 4: - Super standard against a shorty
Hand 5: - Standard
Hand 6: - You can't get away. Folding pre-flop is ok.
Hand 7: - If I think he's a donk I'm staking off here, bet a little more on the turn. Donks will call here with a flush draw and push the river if it hits, don't put yourself in a position for a tough decision.
Hand 8: - 3Bet this pre-flop, bet flop when checked to, if you raise turn raise more, I can't imagine calling a 1/2PSB on the river in a small pot being a big leak, but maybe that's why I don't run better at the micro-stakes

Yes, it's a bit much for one post. FT is a very tough site. You would probably be better off finding a new home for poker. If you're not in the U.S. there are tons of better options (basically FT is the last place you would play).

Generally, delete all action and cards after the point where you're making the decision. Like in hand 4, remove everything after you push. Him calling and the turn and river cards may warpe people's perception of the hand.

1: I bet the turn here after the check. He likely put you on AK,AQ, AJ, etc. When that Q hits and he checks its a good opp to bluff.

2: If this guy is a passive station who doesn't call c-bets without at least tp then you are just playing for the str8. If he tends to float flop cbets then you could have bet the turn.

3: Probably has an A. I don't mind the fold there are better opportunities.

4: push

5: probably 2pr/tp and/or a combo draw. AI is good.

6: Push and hope for AA/KK

7: PF I make it 1.5. call is fine. This looks like a draw to me.

8: Raise PF to 1.5 - 2. As played, I bet this flop after UTG checks. I felt the turn K to a shorty.
