And then your with a very poor hand this time. And then you try to bet big with a poor hand hoping to get the luck of the guy who win the first hand. And you end up losing! The guy got the pot again for the second row and you’re angry with him and yourself for playing a poor hand to the hilt.

And it did not end there. Your luck was back again and you thought that its only a game, however after a few hours you experience another bad beat. And then you beginning to recall the first dead beat, the poor hand you played, the present beat you had, you’re husband leaving your door and then thinking what to do when you got to the office because you have not finished your job on the deadline.. and so on…
