how to lose 25BB in one orbit of 6-max limit

Hand #1: Clear check/call on the river. 1 BB saved.
Hand #3: Definitely don't cap the river (maybe don't even raise). 1 BB saved (maybe 3).

If you hadn't made those two errors, you would have only lost 23 BBs (maybe even only 21), and not 25!!!

I think you lost several additional bets by continuing to fire and raise when a flush draw was present (even a 4 card flush in one example) In another you raised with just a pair on the river and the flush out, then capped when reraised.

edit-maybe it wasn't T3, as that is what he had in this hand, but it was something terrible, no face card playing the board hand.

The problem with that logic is it assumed bad players never have a hand and are always bluffing... and that's just not the case.

yeah, and isn't it remarkable that they always have the hand against you? And yes, I see that it wasn't a good play on my part.
