IMO

...it sounds like you're playing way to fast. I know they're tough beats but you're playing REALLY fast, in such away that you open yourself up to these beats because you are constantly playing huge pots for all the money pre-flop/right after the flop, as opposed to seeing flops and playing poker (which gives you a chance to muck QQ if the Ace flops and he bets hard/moves in).

I agree that they are tough beats and he was a donk for calling off with A8 but just slow down a little. You take less bad beats if you play a more post flop style because at that point if all the money goes in, you either made a good read or a bad read (not all cases) and have to live with your actions. In a sense this fast style is kind of gambling. You're putting everything into the hands of the cards and taking away all of the skill aspects of the game (reads, post flop play, etc.)

Sorry about the bad session...they happen.
