Well, I'm not sure if you're doing anything wrong, but you're
definitely thinking about it wrong.  There's no way to skip the lines
in v that have kg.idn != 15 just by looking at v, because the idn
column is in kg, not in v.  Obviously you have to look through kg
first and find the lines where kg.idn = 15.  Or since kg.idn =
k.kategoria_id, you can alternatively start by scanning k for
kategoria_id = 15, which is what the planner chose to do here.  Once
you know which lines from k you need, then you can go through v and
look for lines that have a match in k based on the join condition
k.idn = v.kerdes_id.

Do you have an index on valaszok (kerdes_id)?  Might be worth investigating.
