Moving home after college

I have come to the realization that I will most likely be moving back home with my parents after graduating in May (assuming I don't fail classes). I have yet to decide how bad this situation is. Up until recently I had figured that this would be the worst possibility after graduation. However, my parents have seemed to have relaxed of late and living with them doesn't seem as bad as I once figured. What I'm really concerned about is moving back into the suburbs (def. -EV). I can not stand living in the suburbs. There is absolutely nothing to do. At least I would not have to pay rent and can get a good start on paying back my school loans. I could possibly even start saving some money.

There is also the consideration that my girlfriend (who is not graduating) will be in Australia for the semester studying abroad. I do not look forward to having the talk with her.

Saturday afternoon at 2NL


Came out of 380 hands with these stats this afternoon. I would have been up a touch more if it weren't for 2 really bad calls for a lot on the river. NOTE: people don't bluff all-in on the river for way more than the pot.

A movie and some play

Poker play unfortunately (gf is sick so none of that kind of play).

Went and saw '21' this evening. It was alright. Despite the inaccuracies it was good. Not great, but good. Also, having a friend work at the movie theater and seeing it for $2 is definitely +EV.

Then I came home and played some 2NL on Stars. Played 643 hands and made $11.71 putting me at 45.53 BB/100. If only I could keep that up forever.

I hit quads but didn't make as much off it as I would have liked. I was really expecting a bet on the river from MP2.

Sunday tourneys

Played in the Sunday Hundred Grand yesterday on Stars. Cashed for about $20 from a 70fpp entry from a SNG satellite. Also, played in a $9.5k guaranteed KO tourney on FTP using the $26 token I couldn't use yesterday. Didn't cash but knocked out 2 people earning me $8 in knockout bonus (whoopee!). Still trying to find a person to help me move $100 from FTP to Stars.

Oh yeah, played in a College Poker Championships freeroll on Stars last night. Played for a bit (knocked out 3 or 4 people donkaments style) and then sat out. Forgot about the tourney. When I came back to my computer a few hours later I had been blinded out in 23 place earning me 70¢.
