Protecting my hand or chip spewing?! - Page 4

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, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 2 folds, Hero (poster) checks, Button calls, SB raises, 1 fold, 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] (5 players)
SB bets, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero raises, 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] (5 players)
SB bets, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero raises, 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] (5 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, Button raises, 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?
