You've been playing this game long enough to know the hard truth: odds don't mean squat. Skill helps, but in the end it's still just luck. The cards fall as they fall, and the pot goes to whoever's left holding the winning hand.
So you sit down tonight with an empty mind. Don't hope to win big, don't fear losing your shirt. Just settle in for the long haul, have a drink or six, enjoy some friendly banter with the other regulars. The money won or lost'll be gone before you finish your next hand anyway.
Expectations will only lead to trouble. Disappointment if you lose big, or overconfidence if you happen to get lucky. So go in blank, play each hand for the fun of it, and don't get too high or too low. The truth is, you're there to soak in the atmosphere more than anything else. The stakes are just an excuse to socialize. Leave your expectations at the door.
