Time to shift up a gear

I tend to play €3 and €5 5-seater games on poker.co.uk. My roll is only around €50 but it is slowly increasing. Anyhow, I played a live game at the weekend and won a €250 bonus for having the best hand. This has been paid direct into my poker.co.uk account - so now I can up the stakes a bit and try some €10 to see how they go. I am sick of donk play being rewarded, such as this hand which I've just played. The ranges of the raiser and caller is vast - so although my call preflop was loose I wasn't going to be a massive under dog and I was getting 7/2 on my money. Anyhow, the guy 3 bets me all-in with mid pair and then hits his 4 outter on the river. It gets boring being beat like this.
