Can I say I'm tired?

I've been playing 12 hours a day in average, mixing up SnG's and MTT's. The schedule has been very similar every day: Wake up around 8am AK time, shower, café, some food, and computer until 10pm.
On Monday I stopped earlier, watched a movie and read a book (or should I say Nook? My wife gave me that thing for Xmas, and I'm trying to use it. Miss the touch of the paper tho, don't know if I'm gonna give it too much work). My VPP count is at 40.5K. I started last Wednesday with 7.5K, so my average is 4.7K VPP's a day. At that pace it would take me 7 months to get the job done, but I think 6K/day will be easy to achieve once my wife is back at work. I love having her around though, it makes the daily grind smoother, but being alone makes for a bigger focus.

Next week is double guarantee week on FullTilt, and that will slow me down as well, but I have zero concerns about whether the million VPP's will be reached or not.

On a side note I would like to say that it is absolutely shocking the way SnG's are played nowadays compared to just one year ago. The pushing and calling ranges have been stretched to the limits, and some reg's are literally pushing any 2 cards in BvB situations. I always thought I was a bit loose to shove, but what I've seen this week is extreme gamble.

The trend is also reaching MTT's, or maybe I've noticed this more the last week. Just to give an example, 2 days ago I was playing one of the PS 109 turbos, and with blinds at 75-150 I shoved 2,600 with JQss from the button. Player in the BB SNAPPED me with K3os...and it wasn't a miss-click. Call me tight, nit, or whatever you want, but that is an atrocious call in my book.

Last weekend I had my first front page article published on Pocketfives.com. I tried my best to make it decent, and will be happy if it doesn't go down as the worst article ever published on the site. Here is the link in case some of you feel like having a boring read:

I am also working on a few hands for Card Player, as well as a featured article. It's flattering that they reached out on me to send them something, but at the same time I feel like the poker community will make fun of my extremely simple thought process during hands once they get to read what I have to say.

I know that I don't fit the image, but I am an extremely shy person when it comes to poker. I think there are hundreds, thousands, of players with a more organized and well put together thought process, and to explain myself in some situations is embarrassing.

That's also the reason why my very good friend and Pokerpwnage.com owner Jerry "Herschelw" Watterson doesn't have a dozen of videos of mine. He keeps insisting that I should make them, but the idea of publishing those things scares me to death.

Can you imagine Gboro, AJKHoosier or Moorman watching one of my videos? They would die of laughter.

I think that's all for now. Just say hello to Luke Graves, a fine guy from the UK who had to suffer one of my table rants no long ago. I am almost cured of that disease, but it comes back from time to time.

Take care everybody, and good luck at the tables.
