Phase VII: Do I really suck?
JJ under the gun. Ya know, i would usually raise here, but with my luck, I'm probably up against kings or aces, so I'm just limping. Another lost pot. Another hand, hit trips on the flop, yes! I'm getting paid! A third diamond appears on the turn... aw crap, ya know Party Poker gives out flushes like there's no tomorrow, and shit, he just re-raised me! Is he bluffing? All my instincts are completely gone out of the window. No more confidence. The slide continues.

Phase VII: I was good, I promise!
How did I turn that $50 bucks into $700 in the first place? I can't believe I'm back where I started. Panic is starting to creep in. I guess poker just wasn't meant for me, but it sure did play with my emotions. I didn't think I needed a break, I mean, how does a break affect how you play the next hand anyway?
