$10 NL HE Full Ring: Things bothering me

Was playing 4 tables of NL10 FR. Only played 43.2 minutes, 163 hands and lost - $24.75...
Here are the 4 main hands in which I lost most too.
Can u analyse these hands and see what u think? They seem to be bothering me going over my session.
Did I play like a donk? Was I just unlucky?

Here is the 1st:
Standard open raise to 3xBB w/ AKo. Get called by loose calling station (35/5/1.7).
He's been know to donk bet so I thought i'd 3bet him to try push him off the hand.
He decides to shove....great. Should of folded but I was too cocky in this hand.

NL Holdem $0.10(BB) Replayer
SB ($9.45)
BB ($4.15)
UTG ($11.58)
UTG+1 ($3.48)
UTG+2 ($8.44)
MP1 ($6.40)
MP2 ($4.38)
Hero ($10.15)
BTN ($10.75)

Dealt to Hero A K

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, fold, SB calls $0.25, fold

FLOP ($0.70) 4 3 9

SB bets $0.70, Hero raises to $2.10, SB raises to $9.15 (AI)


Standard open raise again w/ TT. Get called by 2 tight/reg people (13/0/5). On a low paired flop like that im gonna cbet 75% of the time.
I thought since he floated the flop he could have any pair 33+ etc. Mayb its was me b-in cocky again but I wasnt scared of the J. On the river I havn't a clue what to do....

In this hand villan who 3bets me is sooooo fricken loose (52/29/5.5, 3Bet - 13%). I decide that im either wa/wb and im happy to stack off $4.57 (the most I could loose) w/ QQ. Maybe I should of jus called pre n folded post?

Here again is open raise to 4xBB w/ AQo in the CO. Gettin called by a loose/passive guy (30/7/0.2) I decide that he could b 1 card flush drawing + his small stack I thought it would b best to get stacks in. Good/bad move?

1) You have 2 big pair outs, but he's shown strength so 3-betting doesn't accomplish much. You said yourself he was a calling station, did you really expect him to fold there, especially after donking? A pot sized donk bet usually means good strength, set or 2 pair. If he bet min or even less than half pot you can try to get him off his hand, I would just flat. Calling the shove is criminal of course, even if he shoves Q3 there you're still WB

Keep one thought in mind while playing 10nl, never ever bluff the stations and think twice before bluffing the regs too (cbets not included)

2) Cbet turn, an overcard came so it's a good barrel spot. There is stuff he can still call with such as 55-99 that you beat. Why are you floating yourself OOP? Can't really win like that.

He probably had a read that you cbet flops then give up when called, common weak-tight players' trait. Check/raising the turn works too especially if he likes to bet IP after you look like giving up the pot. But calling? You're inviting him to push his positional advantage on you, which is what he does. Also, if he has a lesser PP that's not a set he might just be value betting here thinking he's ahead.

As played, I would call river because it makes sense for him to have air/a lesser hand lots of times, and he has a 5 AF which means he does bluff at times, even if he's a 13/0

3) QQ is a great hand to get it in pre at 10NL, especially vs short stackers. Just what the hell do you mean by claling pre and folding post flop? How is that not a total waste? Do you really want to set-mine with QQ?

4) Standard, I would play it the same. The turn is scary because it does complete a straight, but there are so many draws he would get it in here it's +EV to just stack him. Probably not by much but I'm sure it is, and he hardly ever folds anything here.

You're too results-oriented, 2.5 BI's is nothing to lose and you shouldn't quit when it happens, just keep playing a normal tight aggressive game.

Hand 1 is fine (assuming you folded) although calling to see what he does on the turn with your assumed 6 outs would be fine as well.

Hand 2 your flop and turn bets seem awfully small. Bet bigger and the river plays itself. As played I still call.

In Hand 3 if you're miles ahead of his range (and it sounds like you are) it's perfectly standard to get AIPF with your QQ. Just a bit of a cooler when he shows up with AA.

Hand 4 is again totally standard with TP2K in a pot with a SPR of 3.

Looks like your play was pretty decent on all the hands you posted. Remember the results don't really matter.

1. I'd probably just fold here. I won't tend to raise donk bets, especially if they're pot sized bets, unless i have something or a good draw.

2. Fire a second barrel. Most likely he has just overcards or a middle pair. If he has a jack then oh well. Also your flop bet is small, try and make it 3/4 pot

3/4. standard

Hey thanks 4 the replys people. Lookin back on them results and ur comments it looks like it didnt play like a donkey. Just gotta stop being result oriented and gettin worked up loosing 2.5BI and jus get back to the game!!

Results:
1. Stupid me I deicided to gamble w/ my AKo and called his shove. He showed up w/ 9h8h. Pretty strong donk bet. Turn was another 9 and i'm drawing dead.

2. I should of cbet alot more larger on that low paired flop. Also I should of fired another barrel on the turn. Just I hate it when he floats both streets so ur left w/ OOP problems on the river if u dont have the nuts...
Villan had 2c2s for a flopped full-house.

3. Guess it aint that bad gettin QQ AI pre against 2 short stackers. Spesh since one of 'em is loose as hell. Just a cooler I guess.

4. Villain called out the SB w/ JsTs for flopped flush. Sucks 'ey lol.

Results don't matter, you're paying too much attention to them. Just ignore them

2. Not alot larger, but 2/3 POT is ok, 1/2 looks suspicious.

Why do you hate people that float with weak hands? How exactly do you want to make money in poker? I love them.
