you just aren't prepared for what's about to happen.

Something from "Zen and the Art of Poker" (not much poker in this book, but a few things to think about):

"Poker rule #29: Expect the worst - Why gamblers are pessimist.

[...] Being a pessimist becomes a positive trait in poker. It allows you to forge ahead cooly. [...] The ability to see the dark side - what can go drastically wrong - and to have this view of things always within easy reach becomes an advantage in poker."

To the original poster: I think Irie is trying to tell you you are much too optimistic with the way you're playing and thinking about the game. I think you better listen to him.
