Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I'm pretty happy about poker and everything.
The good people at Pitbull Poker have really got me in the right Christmas spirit. They have given me a lot of presents at the tables. When I started playing there on friday I set myself a very ambitious goal that I wanted to win $500 every day until the 29th. On friday and saturday I won about 600 each day. Then on monday I was even and yesterday up a 100. Today I almost reached my goal again - I lost the connection when I was at about +450. But I'm pretty tired now after getting up early to shop for christmas presents.
My bankroll now stands at $4,200. I'm quite proud of the fact that I've gone from $700 to $4,200 in two weeks without making any tournament scores or violating bankroll management principles.
On the 29th I'm going away for 10 days to play a chess tournament. I'll probably stay completely away from online poker during that trip because there will be so much live poker.
My laptop is still going through repairs. I'm kind of tired of waiting for it. I might put some of my new money to use on a baller laptop and a 24 inch screen or something.

Pitbull Poker
Yesterday I moved most of my bankroll to Pitbull Poker. I'm playing there as a prop player. The action seems to be incredibly soft, and on top of that I'm getting 100 % rakeback. Sweet!
The last few days I've been winning steadily at 0.5/1 on Full Tilt. Last night I won around $600 on Pitbull, $100 of that being rakeback. That shoots my bankroll up to $3100. Since there are so few tables and it's such a soft site, I'm going to play quite a bit at 1/2. There are also 2.5/5 tables, but I'm going to have to at least double my bankroll before I start taking shots there. That might happen quickly if I play the volume I intend and stay on top.
In other news, I have received my grades from the exams. I did well in all three, although I'm probably going to try to improve my grade in one of them in February.
I went to the movies yesterday, for the premiere of "Max Manus"- a long awaited Norwegian WWII epic. It's a great film with very impressive visuals. It could be a contender for best foreign film at the Oscar awards.

Holidays are Coming
I'm just relaxing nowadays. Hanging out with friends, going to the movies, to the gym, hanging out some more, playing poker and Wipeout HD on Playstation 3. :-) That game is pretty awesome on a 50 inch HD screen.
Yesterday was a pretty good day for me. A few days ago I took a successful shot at 2/4 when I saw a huge fish sitting there. Perhaps not the most sensible thing to do, but it worked out and it boosted my bankroll. So now I'm playing 0.5/1 again, trying to get to 1/2 before Christmas. Like I said, yesterday was pretty good. I won around $400 in the cash games. Then I had a last longer bet with three friends in the $26 pot limit tournament. I came in 13th and won the bet with a good margin. Now the weekend starts and life is good.
