    I feel like lately I am constantly taking bad beats. However, I'll be the first to admit my poker isn't perfect right now. I took a bit of a break and I think I play with too much emotion now.

    But please look at this, did I play it too weak or was he just a donkey?

    Raise preflop (not a minraise) then shove when he raises back. Most players who put in the third raise are willing to go the whole way with it.
