I'm taking it in the shorts lately.. will someone look at this?

[cold_cash]

I've been having a real rough 2 weeks or so playing Party .50/$1. Up until now I've been steadily making a pretty good profit (for my standards) but it seems like nothing has been going right lately. I cringe every time I check the last "call" button every time I'm in a hand, because I know inevitably those damn two "You lost, muck?", and "You lost, show?" buttons are going to pop up. I think (obviously) my confidence is shaken and I'm not exactly sure what to do about it. I don't feel like I'm doing anything different.

Anyway, enough with the pity-party. Here's what seems like a typical hand from my last few sessions. It's not an incredible bad beat or anything, I'm just looking for any advice on my play at this point. Thanks in advance.

(By the way, at no point in this hand did I think I was going to win it. Should that tell me anything?)


Typical Party table -- loose and weak.

From what I know about MP1 he could have anything from 55 up to 2 face-cards. The SB already has money in the pot, so he's coming along with any 2 come hell or high-water.
