Protecting my hand or chip spewing?!

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?

I would fold this PF.

I like the flop.

On the turn SB has just bet again and everyone stuck around. I don't think another raise will do much good.

Fold preflop.

Flop raise is good.

Call the turn.

Check/call the river.

I fold preflop and I check the river

you have a pretty weak hand. i like the flop, anyone who will fold folds. however i check/call the turn and river. a raise on the turn isnt going to do much i dont think, if it didnt scare them out earlier- they either have a st8 draw or a set or PP. why are you even in this hand to begin with? i fold preflop, to raise in SB u have a better hand than yours.

I too normaly fold pre-flop, but it was my first hand at the table.

ClaytonN · #8 04-30-2005, 08:24 PM

Yes, we knew that.

Q8 still sucks. It's a marginal call preflop at best.

*edit - first hand at table? How does this change anything?

bconway6 · #9 04-30-2005, 08:27 PM

even with 9 bets already in? I appoligize if im sounding like a donk here, but isnt that a rather large pot already to fold for one more small bet?

Hero is getting 13.5:1, isn't 3 outs enough to call here?
