Default How long can a losing streak last

It just won't stop. I keep losing 80% of hands I'm a huge favorite. This is a $20 buyin STT, Villian pretty aggressive so I cannot put him on a big hand. EDIT: Alrighty I'm a 3-1 fav here so maybe not 'huge'...but losing so many of these just gets under my skin.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero (t3275)
Button (t4960)
SB (t5265)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, 9.
Button raises to t450, 1 fold, Hero calls t300.

Flop: (t975) Q, K, 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets t450, Hero raises to t1350, Button raises to t2850, Hero calls t1475 (All-In).

Turn: (t6650) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t6650) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t6650

Results in white below:
Hero has Kc 9d (two pair, kings and twos).
Button has Kh 8c (two pair, kings and eights).
Outcome: Button wins t6650.

I'm going broke here with AK as well, and besides, there's no reason to fold against an aggressive player that raises any 2 cards. This is 3-handed, in case you missed it. Also, I might as well post dozens of hands where I had KK preflop, pushed and lost to Ace-low, would you still say fold pf? LOL.

Aye but this is coming off a similar situation last night where I was bb three handed with Q7, and the flop came QQ4. I was beaten with Q8.

I don't trust high cards anymore

Yes you're right, I could be dominated here.

I wouldn't whine and moan if I lost the hand as an underdog. It's just that when the money's going in, I'm usually a favorite, and it hurts losing every time. Last time I had AA? Opponent had QTo, and he made a straight on the river.

Lol... hows this, only I was the only one sucking out.

Last night coming up to the bubble in an MTT, guy goes all in shortstacked with KA against my QA. He hits two Kings on the flop.

I hit two Queens on the Turn and River \m/
