wtf am i doing

I don't want to be an accountant, there's too much written and excel work and i enjoy going out 4 nights a week too much to have to stop that just so i can be awake at 7am. It just seems like a waste of time putting so much effort into something i dislike, so i can get a job that i dislike even more...

Ideally i'd love to deal poker 3 nights a week for fixed income then just grind out 2-4 for $60-80 an hour. Bit stuck what to do really, i'm too much of a pussy to quit uni and join the professional poker playing bandwagon that several of my friends have chosen.

On the bright side though, driving is going well, had an awesome night out yesterday, and still running well at poker.

Here's a fun hand ill talk you guys through.

Blinds $3/$6 NL Hold'em - 2008/11/25 - 16:35:49
Table Avalon
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players: 5

Built up my stack a bit obv and am slightly deeper vs opp which i am obv happy about

Seat 1: UTG ( $ 844 USD )
Seat 2: Gill ( $ 900 USD )
Seat 3: BTN ( $ 591 USD )
Seat 5: SB ( $ 300 USD )
Seat 6: BB ( $ 725.30 USD )
SB: posts small blind [$ 3 USD]
BB: posts big blind [$ 6 USD]

57os is obv a raising hand from the CO, seems super standard

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Gill [ 5d, 7s ]
UTG folds
Gill raises [$ 18 USD]
BTN folds
SB folds
BB calls [$ 12 USD]

BB calls, no big deal ill just c-bet most boards and take it down, opp is fairly taggy ABC player and basically bets his hands face-up.

** Dealing Flop ** [ 2d, Jd, 9c ]
BB checks
Gill: bets [$ 32 USD]
BB calls [$ 32 USD]

Standard C bet and i get snap called which made me insta think TJ/QJ. I can have any pair here with my CO open range as well as overpairs/draws etc but i think his call isn't terrible because i love to double barrell and he can check raise a lot of safe turns.

** Dealing Turn ** [ 9h ]
BB checks
Gill: bets [$ 70 USD]
BB calls [$ 70 USD]

I fire again repping that i have trips/boat and am trying to get value from TJ+, Also this is a very bad turn for him to CR as i fold anything he beats and call/shove everything he doesn't, although the call isn't horrible vs me.

** Dealing River ** [ 2s ]
BB: bets [$ 106 USD]
Gill raises [$ 780 USD]
BB folds
Gill does not show cards
Gill wins $ 452 USD from main pot

River is the most interesting street obv as basically when he bets so small, he's announcing he has JQ or something here and is hoping i had a draw or a worse J and flat call/fold, so obv i shove because i know he can't call with QJ and iv'e hardly ever shown down hands in these types of spots so i still get a ton of respect.

Any comments appreciated, in regards to the hand.. and life in general :)

Heh, I was in school to be an accountant too... sucked so I went the route you debate, without the fixed income obv which would be nice to hide some of the money I make from poker.
May aswell finish school just incase poker dies, best way to go imo, that is the only thing that worries me about the future...
