Happy New Year and 2011 goals

First off I want to say Happy New Year to everyone and I wish you all the best and everyone has a great successful 2011. Let me get the results out of the way. I posted above my Dec results with my highest Roi in a month to date. Next we have our 2010 MTT results which look really good but a super small sample. I hope to add a lot more MTT's to my resume next year. Next we have our SNG results which I must say is looking pretty nice. Last we have our year all game results which if it wasn't for Nick,Bodeye,Nate it would have been negative results rather than positive. These guys along with all the fellow group members helped keep me on the right track through hard times and crazy ups and downs.

Let me tell you I have learned so much about the game this year. Playing as a full time or part time job is not for the weak minded. This game is super stressful at times and if want to be a shark you have to work harder then everyone else and be able to handle some crazy emotional roller coasters. My 2011 poker goals is to play twice as many games as in 2010 and move to the 12's and 24's before the end of the year. Maby sqeeze in a $1500 WSOP event win:) We will see.. I hope the government doesn't stop US players from playing on FT that would suck balls.

Besides poker I look forward to finally paying off my debt and car next year. I want to complete some home improvement projects and get my daughter fully potty trained and ready for pre school. She is getting so big and time is flying so fast I can't believe it. I want to spend a lot more time with family next year as life moves fast and sometimes we are so busy and hectic that we need to put on the breaks sometimes.

Well that is all I have for 2010. I am going to party hard tonight with Andrea and bring in the new year with a bang. This is bayarea-all-in signing off for 2010. Peace....

November updates

Hi guys,
It has been one hell of a month with some crazy ups and downs but at least more ups than downs. I was able to get in my 500 games which is good. I have not done as much studying and review as I would like but that is my goal for Dec. I must review at least one hand history before each session. I have not smoked a cig for a month now. I have also been loving my new PS3 game COD black ops that shit is tight. I am addicted to zombie mode. I am also excited and a big thank you to my mom for purchasing my new kitchen table set for Xmas it is sick. I will post a pic when it gets delivered.

Anyways I wish you all good luck in Dec and happy and safe holidays.

See you at the tables fish...

What a week

Well first off let me say I am going to start writing more blogs now at least once a week. I would also like to give a big congrats to Manny for dominating on Sat night a guy 17lbs bigger then him. That guy can stick and move but I still think he should have went for the KO in the 12th round. I also quit smoking weed havent smoked for going on a week now which I know isn't much but I plan to keep it this way. It's time to stop wasting my money and brain on it. Still working on the cigarett quit mission.

As far as poker goes it has been a hell of a roller coaster week. Especially Sunday was the worst luck I have seen in a while. Every flip wheather I was ahead or behind I lost when it counted on the bubble or the final table. I have never seen AA on the other side of the fence so many times in one day. This whole week the 6$ games have been doing me dirty. To top it off I managed to lose connection for 20 mins on Wed night while on two bubbles and I think you know the rest of that story. Another thing that tilted me this week is Full Tilt owes me $200 worth of withdraws which I have been waiting since Oct 24th for and my last week withdraw for $300 was put back in to my account because they are having problems with their check company.

In the end I know this is all part of the variance of the game and I hope next week will be a better one. You can see my results up top for Sunday and the week. Good luck to all of you and see you at the tables. Until next time peace...

Aug and Sep updates

Hi Everyone,
its been a couple months since this I have updated but there has been alot going on from first of all putting in volume and studying my ass off to watching Rainman Poker come to an end. It kinda sucks but what can you do. I am learning alot from Bignate and I have moved up to mixing $6 90 mans into my regular games since they don't fill fast enough to just play 6's.

As you can see Aug was not that great but it was due to alot of tweaking of my game and just being rushed to put in volume since I was kinda lazy. But in Sep I finally woke up and did somthing right. I really feel I worked hard in Sep and my results show it. I finally have been able to win more rather then get 2nd place. Hopefully I can keep it consistant and keep eating all these fish at the 3 and 6 limits and move to the 12's in the next couple months. Watch out all you regs I will see you guys soon.

Good Luck and peace out..

JUNE AND JULY RESULTS

SO I HAD A COUPLE PRETTY GOOD MONTHS. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET A 400+ GAME MONTH SINCE FEB SO THAT IS GOOD FOR ME. IN AUG I PLAN ON PLAYING A MIN OF 700 GAMES AND THIS IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR MY NEW COACH BIGNATE904 SO I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM HITTING THAT NUMBER. I ALSO WANT TO THANK NICK AND BODEYE FOR ALL THE WEBINARS THIS PAST 3 MONTHS. I LEARNED ALOT FROM THEM BUT I FEEL I NEED PERSONAL LIVE COACHING. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH AND STUDY THE RAINMANPOKER WEBINARS AS WELL AS I FEEL ANY INFO I CAN GET MY MIND ON WILL ONLY HELP MY GAME IN THE LONG RUN. I MUST SAY ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS IS THAT POKER IS NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SPEND HOURS OF STUDY AND PRACTICE AND REALLY WORK HARD TO PUT IN VOLUME IN ORDER TO MAKE IT AS A TRUE ONLINE SNG GRINDER. ANYONE WHO THINKS IT'S EASY HAS SOMETHING ELSE COMING TO THEM. THATS ABOUT ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. I WANT TO WISH ALL OF YOU A GREAT AUG AND MAY YOUR ROI INCREASE FROM LAST MONTH AND GOOD LUCK AT THE TABLES. PEACE...

BAYAREA-ALL-IN

MAY RESULTS

AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH VOLUME THAT I PLAN TO FIX IN JUNE. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IT'S TIME TO STOP FUCKING AROUND. I WILL BE GOING BROKE OR MOVING UP IN STAKES IN JUNE... SEE YOU AT THE TABLES...
