@ boris: np. It was as rewarding for me as it will be to others, if not more.

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.
let me tell u something:
after the rain comes sun.
always
so keep on fighting. every day u keep on fighting is a step forward to the bright side of life
but a very... nice huge wall of text imo! ♦
So guess what? I cashed in a MTT again 
I was gonna have a MTT-sweat evening with dandycal so I decided that I was gonna fire up some MTT's aswell and I ended up on 2nd place in a 2$ rebuy turbo MTT for 330$!
Not a huge cash but still very welcome
I mean I played less then 10k hands this month because I lack the time, and uhm... for some reason I get to the final table a bit more often then the regular player I think... ♦
Nice post, vonki 
The good times always taste sweeter after some rough moments. So I believe your summer break will be super awesome \o/, especially if you keep cashing in those MTTs ♦
Too bad we couldn't ship the big one tonight, haha. But the sweat session was real nice. Hope to see you crushing the tables again!
I hereby officially announce myself as member of the month (at least in my world).
Why? Because I freaking deserve it.
Congratulations me!
(yes, I am retarted)
Shit happens.
But short conclusion.... Communicationproblems and different prioritys.
In the end it comes down to what makes me happy and what makes me feel good and this would be it.
Besides, the golden avatar looks really cute ♦
hihi, back to silver now though because I dont have much time to play... but in a weeks time that will change ♦
Oh how I love it when you've clicked to blind out and decided to stop playing and then when the bb gets back you think "hmm, maybe ill stay just a little bit longer since i have time to play for the first time in weeks" and then you get dealt AKs which you get in pre bvb vs AQs
I'm back up on NL50 and hmm, don't really know how I'm doing resultwise since I have chosen to only check and update once a week. I do know that last couple of sessions were with quite good results and I'm quite pleased with how I played even though I know I made some misstakes here and there 
So, stay tuned until sunday or beginning of next week for an update!

Weekly review
Ok. Since I have a lot of studying to do tomorrow, I have decided it's better for me to make my weekly update now and then not think about or play poker at all tomorrow.
I will try to set myself some goals aswell, since I after next weekend will be going into summer-pro mode! Yey
So, here is the graph... I finally run good and I won some flips etc... I am a bit bothered about the poor volume but I'm also happy I got in any volume at all ♦ Oh and for those who are confused: I am back up at NL50 again.
Before I quit my role as a moderator I started a blog in the swedish community alongside with the player with who'm I'm traveling together with this summer (koaesica). Actually we started 2 but I will only mention this one for now.
The purpose of the blog/challange is easy: Cash out rakeback to save up for summer of 2011. To travel/pay bills/being able to be summerpro again.
To protect my bankroll against downswings I made a rule that, whatever week I have a loss of bigger then 100bb, I may use the rakeback to repair that damage aka not cash out the RB that week.
I started the challange about 2 weeks ago and here is a little update:
Rakeback challange
Hands: 2585
Profit: $232,30
Rakeback: $19,67
Total cashed out rakeback: $19,67
Since the rakeback is delayed by a week I will have alot more hands played then rakeback saved... but that will even out in the end
Oh and just for the record, I have reached a new milestone... $2k bankroll! Not by much though so it might not last for long should variance take me for a ride 
But still.
Okay, so enough pokertalk for this weekend... back to internship/studys.
Take care!

Nice toby!
I tell you one thing though. The studying is really... ehm, I was about to write "killing", but as I am currently writing a paper on death and how one needs to care for a dying patient and how the body acts when it starts shutting down etc it might be slightly inapropirate. 
It's heavy though... I mean, there are way more cheerful topics to study but I suppose this is one that will be useful sometime.
Right now I just try to get by hour by hour, I feel like a freaking zombie and I feel like I'm sitting outside my body watching myself. Weird feeling.
I can't wait until friday evening when I'm going to celebraaaaate with loads of alcohol and friends on my side.
Back to ze paper.

[x] Biggest home exam done.
Took me about 21 handwritten pages and hours and hours but it's finally done. It inspires me to finnish of the last stuff aswell before friday. Not all that much left to do now, I see the light at the end of the tunnel folk's!
So just a short update of last week. Not gonna bother with a big update as I would rather spend the time playing/watching videos etc.
Rakeback challange
This week:
Hands: 1018
Profit: -$16,40
Rakeback: $22,33
Total cashed out rakeback: $42
.
Looks like there might be a slight change of plan...
Instead of going backpacking in Europe we are investigating the options of going to LAS VEGAS BABY!
Let the grind begin!
