The Zombie

I've meant to crank out a blog entry the past few days but whenever I sat down to type, I was exhausted and lacked the ability to write coherently. It's been an exhausting couple of days, partially due to quite a bit of runbad but also because humans aren't meant to function on my current schedule -- I've been waking up around 9 PM, working throughout the night/morning, and going to bed in the early afternoon. After I finish this entry my head will hit the pillow, so hopefully that changes soon.

When I decided to push for 72,000 VPPs, I knew that meant I'd be sacrificing equity on a per game basis. Under normal circumstances I can play my 'A' game but having to grind for most of conscious hours ultimately results in sub-optimal play, the 'B' game. Recently, there have been times where 'B' game has felt more like 'Zombie' (Zom-B?) game; My mind simply isn't processing information at the same rate and so I'm falling behind, missing spots, and ultimately making plays that are +EV but not the most +EV. The good news is that I only felt that way for two sets (70 games) although my profits/red line for the past 300 games might make you think otherwise.



I'll reserve the weekly update stuff for tomorrow and finish with this -- earlier today, I had the chiplead in a STT and shoved 74o to 'bubble own' the short/medium stacks. The SB, with 3.5 BBs behind, snapped with 44 and I ripped a 7 off on the flop to win the pot. He then proceeded to call me a 'fking fish' and said quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read in chat:

"Shove your blog up your ass."

Unfortunately my blog isn't tangible so I'm not sure how to do that but if I shoved 74, I guess I can shove anything.
