vonki goes mtt pro it seems

oh yea and thnx to Kojika who was my other wingman... ♦ Wouldn't have stayed as calm without you! ^^ 
well thank you all!
So, again it's been a while since my last update... what a little lazybum I've turned into eh... 
Oh well. I played some MTT's the other day, with a miniftops event and some other random MTT's and managed to make a profit of 80$ or so in total... I busted in the top 300 of the miniftop event which is a bit unlucky but still, as far as I come in most MTT's it's just nice anyway ♦ AK couldnt hit against AK and it was my end...
So I also played some NL50 SH again. Only one session though, of like 1k hands or something I think. It's funny how I seem to keep running bad on the cashgame tables and in the MTT's all my flips hold up and I get setups in my favour... on CG it's completely the other way around. ♦
But I really really long after the summer vacation now... after the 11th of june I am completely free. I have some crazy weeks right now with internships and exams so I barely have any time or energy to play any poker unfortunately. But hey, 4 weeks to go and then I can play poker all summer!
Really looking forward to being able to put in some more volume... I mean volume is what will help me beat variance, and atm I'm just unable to put in any volume, nor watch videos etc... Gief summer now plz!
Oh and my headset broke... 
But I ordered a new one! ♦ I chose to go for a wireless one even tho they are slightly more expensive... I will be able to run around listening to music in my app now! (I only got a lappy so the boxers and the sound sucks).
Anything else worth mentioning? Hmm... I got the poker mindset finally! Took a good while for ftp to send it but now I finally got it ♦ Will start reading it as soon as I got some time over...
That would be all for now!

Heyho what about the plan of holding a meeting in Holland ? In other words: tell us your big vacation plans
well, I wouldnt know... Noone else has taken any interest in arranging the meeting...
...I am actually going on a backpack trip with koaesica from se.pokerstrategy through europe down to gibraltar to spend a week there for the freelancer meeting and then go back with the train a different direction... that is my vacation plans ♦
+ spending some time in Holland with dustje ofc
so erm.. ye. THAT is my vacation plans
Anyone who is interested for me to stop by on the way down/way back from Gib can drop a line btw 
We're currently planning the trip and are open for suggestions... we have decided to stop by at opals place (if he is there) and Kojika, and perhaps that grindhouse... it's gonna be awesome.
xx vonki
How about you girls meet my brother and I over here after Gibraltar:
It just might be a little out of your way, maybe you'll need to take a second train 
\o/ for The Poker Mind-Set by the way
haha dont worry dandy, brazil is soooo on my "places I must go to"-list!
Preferably sooner then later but it all comes down to the money
Thank god I can sponsor some of my trips with poker ey
For next summer it's probably gonna be like... going somwhere (where its cheap, maybe brazil or asia somewhere) for like 6-12 months... either that or a month or something in vegas... ♦
Oh oh oh. I so enjoy being young! Imagine all the things we can do... no attachements, just go crazy and go whereever... Parapapapaaaaa I'm lovin it

that was what i was pointing at ^^
oh oh... reading other people's blogs is so inspirational... I wanna be able to put in volume, learn and improve too! I really miss it.
I still have to wait until 11th of june until school is done and I can put alot of focus on poker again... damn, I cant wait
I've started preparing with gathering books, and videos etc that I want to read and watch. I've also decided with some poeple about grind-sessions and sweatsessions etc so I shall be well prepared once time has come.
about schoolstuff right now, I have been quite productive today and have managed to finnish some of the stuff... I intend to complete it before today is over. That leaves me with 1 assignement (though a huge one) left to do before monday evening. Should be doable, but it will take alot of effort and energy for sure.
Blagh! But oh well ♦ I just keep thinking about what an awesome summer I will have whilst all my classmates are working their asses off to pay the rent and support their familys... I will just enjoy the whole summer. Mhhhh mh mh

[x] Long but useful post about life, poker and variance...
God damnit.
School is really really intense right now with internship which I do fulltime, and several examinations added onto that...
It all just feels redicilous right about now. I haven't had a day off in... over a month. The few days a week that I don't have to go be @ the hospital I need to spend at home working on my examinations... I feel worn out
Luckily, I heard a song today which put me in a better mood. I remember it since before, I listened to it alot during the start of my downswing. "When it get's tough you gotta fight some more".
And hell yea I will! Just gotta put up a few more weeks with this crap and then I'm free, free like a bird at last. I can do it, oh yes I can. A couple of years ago, I think I would have even thrown in the towel by now...
This semester has really been aweful and I've been through some of the biggest downs ever (real life related stuff). But guess what, I'm almost through it and I sure as hell WILL get through it. That's who I am, I'm a fighter. I learned alot through playing poker. Not just how to steal other people's moniez and have fun while doing so
But more importantly, I have changed alot as a person. I have gained so much experience by dealing with alot of situations I most likely wouldnt have stumbled on otherwise. I have learned how to be waaay more patient (trust me, I used to be a... not so patient person ♦). I still have some moments of impatience but hey, it's hard to kill the impulsiveness within me.
I have learned how to handle setbacks, and how to get through endless moments of doubts and devistation. For I have doubted, many many times... we all have. It's what we do. Until we learn to deal with our insecuritys, until we become more or less immune to it.
I have learned that mistakes are expensive, very expensive. But I also learned that they are necessary, unavoidable and completely awesome. If we dont make mistakes, we won't learn anything. And learning is exactly what we want to do.
I have learned that, the moments in life (and poker) where we win... is where other people make mistakes and we dont. I have more importantly learned to identify those mistakes, and review my decisions and to apprechiate other people's input and realize that there are many other ways to do things and deal with things then the way I deal with them.
I have learned that even though I get a badbeat it doesn't matter all that much. If we let it affect us, that's when we go on tilt. That also applies for real life... if you let thins get to you you simply go on real life tilt. Just accept and embrace the badbeat, for it will make you stronger and it will make you grow. Somehow.
I have learned that life (and poker) isn't fair. Sometimes we play close to spotless and we still get punished. Sometimes, the people who make the most mistakes end up being the biggest winners. But yea, life aint fair. The people that deserve things the most sometimes end up getting nothing at all, while some people who wouldnt deserve it, gets it. That's just how it goes. All we have to do is remember that we'll be the longterm winners
I could go on with this list forever as I'm sure many of you already know. I would just like to finnish with saying how greatful I am that I got this oppertunity to change. Not alot of people get to go through this change and I feel sorry for them.
To end this long post, I will post a video that I would like to dedicate to poker in general, but most of all to variance. Take a moment to listen to it, and think about everything I just wrote. It will do you good If you managed to read until now that is...

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
'Cause your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
'Cause your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
And now... back to studies on a saturday night. But that's okay. I mean I started this blogpost in order to get some frustration of my chest and whine a bit but it turned around completely and now I feel I can do anything.
