I'm a Donkey 12

I am a donkey and today marks my 12th winning session in a row.  

I flopped two pair against the same guy twice.  The first time I had KQ and smooth called the flop. The second time I had QJ and raised the flop.  He was thrown off.  

I was up about 240.  I think when I get to this area for the day, I start to play to protect the earnings.  This can make me play bad poker - this is why I called myself a donkey today.  

I am in late position and find the 8h 8d.  Crazy Joe is in early position and made it $10.  I call and so does the BB.  The flop comes down 10 8 4.  Rainbow.  BB checks.  Joe checks very loudly.  I check, too.  The turn is a J.  The BB bets out $10.  Joe now makes it $50.  I tank and when I say I tank, I mean I really tank.  This is donkeyness.  What do I do?  Do I call and not know where I'm at?  Do I raise and put the rest of his chips in?  He had about $120 left after the raise of  $50.  Or do I fold?  Well, I am a huge donk.  I fold.   :0?!

So I go on mini tilt.  I try to bluff this tourist with the Ah on an all hearts board.  He flopped a flush and I never go there. 

I also lost with KK when the BB hit an A with his AK.  Luckily my time had come and I had to leave.  If not, I may have donked the rest off.  I still left with $120 extra.
