    getting my swell on

    Default should i stay or should i go?

    the time has come for me to make a decision on whether to stay in austin or move back to iowa. there are positives and negatives to both. here i have to pay $62 a month for these fags to "supervise" me on probation, and i have to go to all these stupid AA classes and shit. however, i get all the benefits of living in a city like all sorts of food, and stuff to do at night. also i know like nobody here, but if i stay ill register for a couple classes at a community college to meet people. also perhaps the biggest thing is i wont be harassed by cops here.

    in fairfield, ia, i have a lot of friends and normally have fun when im there. also its a lower cost of living, + i have a few good friends that play 1knl +, so it obv makes a lot of sense for playing poker. however, the cops know me and hate me (town of 10k) and will fuck with me given the opportunity. i cant afford to get in more trouble on probation, or else i will be fucked with a felony. if that happened i basically condemn myself to being a pro poker player.

    basically i have to make my decision in the next couple days, and im just not sure what i want. im thinking of just flipping a coin.

    you'll be equally happy in both locations in 6 months. Go wherever you feel gives you the greatest opportunity.

    IA>TX ... in your situation after reading it.

    First of all, you need to get your act together regarding the law. If you can maintain some discipline and just act like a normal human being in this small town, you won't have any problems there. If you see a cop that recognizes you, smile and nod your head.

    If you move to IA, you can, for the most part, put the AA thing behind you. I think you would much rather live with people you are comfortable with, doing what you love to do as much as possible (poker), and live a simple life in the small city.

    I think it'd be best for you (after reading up on a very little bit of it in this thread), just live the simple life, make tons of monies.

    Wow.

    There must be so many pieces of the puzzle missing.

    At some point, get to the top of Maslow and figure out what the fuck you really believe and what you really want to do with your time on this planet.

    omg fnord, maslow?? your making my brain hurt trying to recollect college garbage.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    Sounds to me like the perfect time for a third option. You need to really think deeper than a couple days will allow.

    By the way, there is always a third option.

    yeah i was going to, then i found out i dont qualify for the tax district tuition cost, so instead of like $500 it'll be like $2700. the city taxes everyone in the district to support the school, and my dad has been paying that shit for like over 12 years. unfortunately i dont qualify since ive only been living here 10-11 months, and 12 months makes you a texas resident. so for this reason im starting to lean back to iowa.

    Wait until you're off probation and then decide.

    Also, I agree with fnord about Maslow'ng this biznitch.

    in 6 months, you'll be equally as happy in both spots.

    So pick the one the gives you the most 'opportunity'

    Move to Atlantic, Iowa man. I'll hook you up with sluts and weed for poker lessons.
    You are an FTR station-pwn'ing badass motherf**ker. You have no pansyass, girly-girl, crybaby fears. Pwn the f**king stations like you know you ought to. And win some damn money, dammit.
