You survive your first trip out in good standing and you'll seem to play well. You're going to get crappy cards sometimes, just have to be patience and have a good bankroll to kick their butts when the cards get come to you. I know the feeling about being chickens--t! It happens to me when I don't want to lose after a short win. See my trip report to Grand Vic two days ago on the Indiana side. BLUE NILE
