Everybody freely discusses their bad beats or their losing streaks. Is it a facet of human nature that winning streaks are never talked about, in case you are thought to be a big headed blow hard? The topic could be discussed in general, without going into too much detail about your winnings.

I disagree. Read a few posts about building bankrolls and people are always talking about their winning streaks that build bankrolls. I think it is just that winning streaks never seem to be as common as losing streaks, and because most good players try not to get their money in bad, they are more likely to suffer a bad beat than give one. And the bad players never want to admit how bad they are that they keep winning only because they make bad decisions and suckout.

I have had some great winning streaks in hold'em. 15+ sessions in a row, but I rarely win BIG at holdem. I have been playing Omaha a lot lately. No long streaks there, but I have had several sessions where I won 5-7 buy ins at a single table. I like those more than the long streaks of winning smaller amounts. :)

I post all my wins and throw the losses in the trash. However, I do have problems and I post them to get some advice. Most of the time the problems are all of my own making, and that's what I'm told and "suck it up and get back in there"And that seems to be the advice I needed. Not to be bragging and I could care less if anyone thinks I'm a big headed blow hard, I post them for myself. I think looking back at them gives me needed confidence. You can see them in my tread "I Did It"

Winning streak is kinda hard to maintain on my story. Mostly I can win 3 straight game and after that it is another story. I guess it something with my game play that I'm having hard time to maintain it.

No matter what I do, how I play, who I play against, winning streaks are not part of my poker career, it's getting frustrating.

I guess when most people are on a winning streak, it just feels like they imagine it should all the time, so they don't feel it's out of the ordinary.

Its because most poker players think they are better than they actually are. Therefore in their minds any winning streaks are down to their ability rather than running +VE.

Peoples always tell about their winnig streaks. But they speak about it while they don't know that this is winning treaks. Most players (especially newbie players) think about their winning streaks that it's their usual statistic and about their usual statistic like about losing streaks.
It's hard for new players to recognize that they win not cause of their high skills but cause of luck and that they need to play even lower limits to be weinning players at long distance.
