TT wants to be English! Not sure GOC is ready, but I can put in a good word for you.
hahah, thanks you guys 
jb, you're too funny ♦
TT: Hahah! ♦ I even saw this very pretty bottle that I wanted to get!!
The pink one, if you didnt figure that out yet! 
And btw TT.... you want to be like me, I want to be like you... let's just trade then?! But I want to remain a girl obv. driving around in my TT, balling in my penthouse, drinking pink bottles of champagne all day... wroom wroom Oh yea. And occasionally pwn some PLO HU tabs and print money in NLHE.
Oh and one last thing TT. Good luck at the The PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship!!! Shiiiip shiip! I'm rooting for you!!
Isn't that stuff supposed to be like... aired? I could only find the liveticker 
It's recorded and will be broadcasted at a later date on The Poker Channel.
The final heat (in December) might have a live stream though, they are apparently working on it.
The rungood continues.
When I had gotten my hair done (which I btw looove how it turned out ) I realized I had forgotten to buy a new mascara in my pre haircut shopping round. So I walked into the closest store, and they had 20% off on the brand I wanted! But that's not all, I also got not one, but THREE, free presents to go!! 
Love how its wasnt just some useless crap that will pile up somewhere, but actually something I can use 
A makeup bag, some makeup remover and a little can with creme of some kind. Have yet to investigate what it's for.
So I'm back in town after like 5 days of being out of town. Had a really good time, but feels good to be back home again aswell.
I forgot to bring the powercabale to my laptop, so haven't played much poker whilst I was gone. So many factors adding up to November being a complete fail qua volume. Ironicly also my best month ever. Good things come to those who work hard? 
So anyway, some more life rungood. When my friend and I were walking to the train, my friend completely misjudged how long it would take to walk (mind, me being 30 cm shorter, and with 3 bags...) so I missed my train by 5 mins or so. As I walked into the ticket office to get new tickets for a different train (it was a 4 hour ride with some layovers so wasnt too pleased about the situation) the sales guy told me, they had changed the track failing to announce it or change the boards, so I wasnt the only one who'd missed the train (ofc I didnt mention I missed it because I was late either ♦) and so he booked me on a differen train free or charge. Only got home about an hour later than I was supposed to aswell so that turned out greeeat 
Oh and my brothers girlfriend is surprisingly doing better, so she's been sent home for a while. There is now a slim chance it might turn into a normal delivery, and although its just a slim chance I really hope it works out for the better.
So yea everything feels pretty good atm, gonna try to get the grind on these last 2 days of November and start making some plans for a much busier December
Hope ya'll are doing well!

yikes 29 and even 33 weeks is very premature. does your brother's wife have HELLP? that is tough, i hope they will be ok.
congrats in everything else! ♦ show the boys how it's done! ♠_evil:
ty wendy I don't know what it's called. My mother said it was some extremely rare condition that could only be found in some countries. But she's doing better atm so I'm just gonna keep on thinking positive and hope everything turns out good in the end.
Time for some random rant.
When I look back it almost seems sick to me how far I have come in such a short amount of time. Only a few months back I hardly had a bankroll, any money to live from and lived in constant fear of not even having money to pay the rent. It seems like forever ago.
Now, I'm even comfortably taking shots at NL200 when I find some rly good tables. As did I yesterday (mixed in with my normal tables). It's almost unbelievable how many good days I've been having.
Graph from yesterday for all the graphlovers :
I have to say tho I'm really enjoying where I'm at atm. When I play on 1-2 I get this nervous tingly feeling when I play for a decent pot. One of the best feelings in poker imo
I'll just keep doing what I'm doing atm, seems like it's working out pretty well. Going for 120h play this month, and with studying/reviewing/coachings on top of that it should make up for some decent effort on my side
I am endlessly greatful to those who have helped me get to where I am today. So many have done little things here and there to help me, some have done more, but I don't want to mention any names just in case I'd forget someone. I think most of you know who you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Also a big thank you to everyone who reads my blog. Thank you to all of you who've congratulated me, sent wellwishes for my brothers girlfriend and their baby, etc!
I really love this community and I'm glad to be a part of it
xoxo,
vonki
Glad things have worked out for you, vonki! What sites are you playing on atm? Party only?
- HU4rollz?!
After some coachings and trying to get a grasp of how to play HU i thought it was about time I played my first HU match. Played 1 guy for a while first who seemed pretty horrible, and ended up leaving after not even 100 hands I think. But I had another guy (who'm I believe was a reg) sit down at my other table so decided to just play whoever sat down.
If there is one thing about HU that surprises me, its the nonsd line ♦ I never thought I could get a positive redline, esp with 9bb/100 rake.
I have to say it feels pretty good The match was pretty even for most part, I tried a 5b bluff early which ran into a PP but hey I had one OC and stuff! Then we flipped once and I ran a semibluff when he'd boated up and he hit his 2p in a 3b pot when I had TP. I stayed cool tho, and from that point on I feel like I actually gained an advantage over him, and eventually found my straight+nfd myself in a 3b pot vs his TPGK after which he also tilted away a buyin.
Guess the biggest difference between us was that I had a bit of a preflop edge and didnt go into donation mode when I lost a stack, which he def did towards the end. I saw quite big changes in his game depending on his "mental" state, as where I think my game pretty much stayed the same. Apart from the fact I took advantage of the changes in his game then ofc 
Hehe anyway, sorry for WoT ♦ Just wanted to reflect a bit
Def see why people love HU, and def will play more of it!

Darkest time of the whole year atm, it's dark by 2 PM and I feel tired all day long. It's been a while since I had to struggle to get out of bed, but lately I just wake up feeling "meeh... I wanna sleep more. Really struggling with volume as of last week, just always tired and never really excited about playing. Will be tough to reach my volume target this month.
Preparing for a 3 day lockdown this weekend. Bunker up with redbull, coffee etc ftw! Planning on playing tourneys on sunday, and really try to push myself to play as much CG as possible during the lockdown aswell. Hoping I'll be able to pull of a decent lockown to put me back on track

Vonki, you are so cool! Lucky me who can understand and read both of your blogs I have a lot of reading to do though since it was a while since I read/wrote on this forum.
I am gonna have a read here and see if I can speed-learn some things the Vonki-way
