Hey vonki. When I tilted a lot last month I did something what I've heard from a friend which helped me a lot. I just took a huge paper and wrote this down:
"JUST DO NOT TILT"
Then I pinned it above my screens. Maybe it'll work for you too... Good luck with your challenge and maybe we'll see each other on NL100 next mont or so! ♦

From a psychological point of view, the fact that your note ends with TILT brings your subconsciousness to remember about tilt and stuff..
The idea is really sweet, I'd just change the note to "STAY AWESOME ^_^" or something 
@ kruppe, I do indeed play as vonki 
did you steal any of my moniez? 
@ anstaendig: I aprechiate the tip but for a emotional creature like a woman, it's not possible to read a note that says "don't tilt" and have that solve all your problems... I would probably even react worse to the note 
But like I said it's not like I go insane when I tilt atm I just get into a semibad mood which causes me to make some mistakes and thus I have to stop playing until I've changed my mood and it just takes some time and kills motivation quite easily
Still working on it tho Mby I'll write a note with what BattleHunter says...
Stay tuned for a update like tonight or tomorrow!
xx vonki 
Ok so this is the case: not feeling like an update. Why? There hasnt happened much resultwise.
I could spend hour writing about how much I have grown as a player etc instead but I dont really feel like that either ♦
Could also spend an hour writing about how grumpy I have been feeling the last week and possible reaons why but guess what... don't really feel like that either 
My attitude sucks right now. 
But that's okay. Can't always be on top.
Tomorrow I have my first coaching with Caltabiano though! Woho!
Nah but seriously. Not feeling supergreat atm, nor superbad... something inbetween really. Just gonna grind it out 
@ Kruppe: still havent figured out who you are, but stay the f away from my moniez!
So what's up with ya'll? Since I dont have much to report on, you guys should. So boring when there are no reply's in here! Someone has to have something useful to say... 
Oh btw! I have realized lately that I enjoy coaching other players (who play NL2-NL10 SH) so if anybody should feel like I might have something to teach you, contact me on skype or smt and I'll try to fit in some coachings every now and then for whoever wants it!
Until next time!

hey you!
waar ben je eig heen? ik zie je nooit online meer 
ik mis jou!
Thanks for the post, always there when you need it
You know I'd always coach you but I think we both know that it's not lack of skill that is keeping you from winning
Anyways get your ass on skype, I have some summerplans to discuss with you!

So you are indeed sneaking around
I'm afraid there wont be a proper update for a while I guess. Maybe sunday, but I really doubt it.
I have alot of issues and stuff at school atm taking alot of energy and strenght... variance still hates me aswell and given the situation at school I just dont have what it takes to fight back. I'm considering to take some time off from poker until I have recharged my batterys, sorted the problems at school and found my way back to myself again.
Sounds kinda lame I know, I wish I was superwoman but I've accepted the fact that I'm not
But don't worry! Even though I'm not superwoman all I need is some time. I will be back soon enough Maybe in a week, maybe two... maybe a month. I dont know. But I will be back with some updates!
Until then I will keep coaching/sweating other players from time to time though and stuff.

Haha, I can't really argue with you on your points there. How can I possibly argue against my own words? ♦
I still think we all have to know for ourselfs though when we've reached our breakingpoint. I am in a tricky spot at the moment, where I find myself struggeling against some serious moodswings.
It all comes down to the fact that I'm in a place where I'm sensitive to tilt, lost my confidence and play B-game. Combine that with downswing and it's a recipe for disaster.
I lack energy to strike back right now, which is really why I decided not to play for a while. Instead I'm trying to find balance in my life again, I just need a while to catch up with school and really think about what my prioritys and goals are in life.
Building up an army to come back and win the battle. For I will, no question about that!

I'm not really sure I have that much to teach you, but I'm willing to give it a shot Challanges are good. So... sure! At least it should be a good laugh...
I had a good laugh this morning too though ♦ I had a brilliant idea about a new trainingtool yesterday when I was shopping with my babysister... I decided to buy one of these (although my sister chose color for me... pink and silver with glitter haha ♦) :
So I tried it out this morning infront of the mirror... well. Never in a million years did I think it would be so hard to do it right haha. I looked redicilous... but yea, I got a new challange! I'll figure out how it works soon... 
So that's my mission right now really.
I Like to Move it Move it!

Havent really read the whole blog, but from what I've read I personally think your doing the right decision, It's better to stop playing for awhile than losing money..
Well Good Luck!
I think once you get good at the hoop thing, you should redord a video lesson, and post here
- Cashout-time!
Okay so it's been a while since my last update. I played 1 CG session this friday and well... let's just say I did not feel ready to come back quite yet.
I also played in the Freelancers Freeroll on saturday, I did well and cashed 200$ which felt great after not rly winning anything for a while now.
Today has kind of been a day of planning. I've decided to cash out a huge part of my bankroll, as I think playing overrolled has it slight sideaffects on me. Besides, I've been wanting to use the money for the summer anyway, so that I can play poker and nothing else, so...
It's actually kind of awesome. I payed for most of my trip to Munich with money that I made with poker. I have payed for my trip to Prague with money that I made with poker... and today, I have withdrawn 1,763$ from my bankroll, and even after that it still stands at 1,825$. AWESOME!
So that makes, 1,513$ on FTP for playing cashgames. It's just enough to play NL50 I also left like 140$ on stars, and 170$ on Mansion for some MTT's and stuff. So from here, nothing really changes, but a still a new chapter starts.
I have alot of things going on the upcoming days with schoolwork and preparations for Prague (as I'm leaving very very early on wednesday morning), so there won't really be any pokeraction going on for me I suppose. I'm not bringing my laptop to Prague either, so no poker there.
Which means I still get a little break, and when I come back... wooh! Time to pick up my game!
I have been doing some sweatsessions though during my break. Most of them with Dandycal, and it has been very enjoyable and useful. So thanks for that. So. Things to look forward to: Prague and starting to play poker again! Excitemeeeeents!
EDIT: Ofc, the money that I cashed out will be used to support myself during the summer... so I will have 2,5 months off from school and can spend them playing poker. And because I cashed out enough to support myself, I wont have any pressure that I HAVE to play and stuff. I can simply play when and if I feel like it.
But I tell you one thing... my dear classmates are well jealous that I get to spend the summer NOT working my ass off @ the hospitals/eldercare
Thats all for now!

Hey, nice to see a post from you, lass! Wow, you were pretty overrolled alright ♦ But that's a good thing
Enjoy your trip to Prague a lot! I've seen some very pretty pictures of the city and I always wanted to visit it... Maybe after NL1k I'll be able to do it ♦ But in the meanwhile, make sure you post some pictures from the trip, alright?
Sessions with my brother must be awesome indeed. He's a great guy and he has this very awesome coach, so... awesome sessions are expected
btw, doesn't summer only start in 3 months?
