Exciting news! It's only four days to go until I start my first full time job in a big city corporate law firm. I have spent the last week making the most of my freedom.

Last week I played poker with a couple of friends, there were six of us in all. We ordered in 6 large greasy pizzas, two rolls of garlic bread, a good amount of coke and a couple of hookers. I’m kidding about the hookers … but seriously!

I was a little scared because one of the other players there claimed to have played poker professionally at one of the big city casino, where they have a $500 minimum buy in. Not to worry, luckily I have studied Matt Damon’s performance in Rounders quite carefully; it’s all about grinding it out. After biding my time and using my very best poker face, I made a deceptive preflop raise with eight-nine suited and managed to knock out one of my friends.

I walked away at the end of the night with a tidy $50 win. All in a nights work!
