Ummmmm...read the rules on held actions again. The kind of thing
you are describing is not allowed (at least not by the rules as written
anyway). You have to wait a full 10 phases until you can act again,
regardless of when your initiative would allow you to act. It's
expressly to keep people from trying to "munchkin it." :)
