Okay, so my transition back into playing poker has not been good, its tough to get the rust off.....I definitely donked off some huge money here, please tell me how to avoid this garbage.

First one, like 3rd or 4th hand so absolutely no reads, I felt that his play could have been the same for AQ, do you play this different, maybe reraise more PF?...but I wanted some action.

Second one, This one makes me really mad, I was total uber donk here, I have no idea why I called the river reraise, I may have been tilting a bit from the earlier hand....Gah! IM SUCH A DONK!
HELP ME!

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
 reraise more in hand 1, you might actually get him all in preflop.
Also, the more money you have in preflop the less difficulty you have in making postflop decisions, in hand 1s case which was all in. yes you lose a stack here but you played it 'just about' right.

hand 2 is fine, he flopped the boat, what can you do?

 Reraise more in hand one and it doesn't matter what happens after the flop.

Hand two is fine.

Thanks Renton

And on hand 2, I was trying for a cheap showdown with my smallish bet on the turn. But when he came to life on the river I felt donkish after making the call

 Hand #1 you can get away from if you have respect for villian. Otherwise you're losing a stack here everytime. Hand #2 is tough. I have issues with trips. I might just c/c the river.
