I have been going on by far the longest non-winning streak I’ve ever experienced ($1-$2). I think a lot of my problem is coming from being overly aggressive in the wrong spots. Like this hand;
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed)
converter
SB (49 hands), 26,2: UTG+1 (47 hands), 44,0: Button (76 hands), 26,6
Preflop: Hero is CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1.

1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, Button calls.
Flop: (11 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.
I raise the flop thinking I probably have the best hand, but also to buy button and get a free river if the turn is bad.
Turn: (10.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.
I raise here thinking I still probably have the best hand and to try to punish the flush draws.
River: (20.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 28.50 BB
I bet the river still thinking I have the best hand. I go oh crap when Button raises and call because the pot is too big to fold for one more bet.
Am I just in a total chip spewing fest here or what?
