Feeling goodish

Been able to play a good amount the past couple days, just finished a nice session that was capped off with a win. My bankroll is approaching its previous peak which makes really feel a lot more confident about my playing. I also realize however that I have been running pretty hot lately (the win I just mentioned, came by way of my j6o flopping trips versus kqs heads up). I think that my feel for game flow has been improving. I tried to add tables for a little today and that did not go so well, I went for 6/7 to 8/9 and felt a little overwhelmed. I'll have to go over the hand histories later to decide if my decision making was actually worse during this or if I'm just being results oriented. Here is my updated graph so you can guys can see my current upswing. You can see from a couple posts ago where I was when this blog was started, around 700 total games (and when I joined Rainman Poker, coincidence?)

Even though this sample size is crazy small, and I still haven't hit 1,000 games (which I'm kind of bummed about) the recent success has really increased my drive to keep pounding out the games. I only have 3 days left that I can dedicate to poker because my family arrives for graduation festivities on Friday evening. I'm excited for them to come and to graduate, but it also presents a problem for my poker aspirations. Here is my conundrum: I don't have the cash to move out and live on my own, so after graduation I have to move back home. I don't think I'll be able to properly grind at home because my parents are very anti me playing poker whilst remaining unemployed. The more I think about getting a real job the less excited I am about it. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that upon my entering the real world I now have real issues, not enough money, and not enough time.
