Ben Grundy 2008 online results - Poker News

From Ben Grundy's blog, July 15th entry.

-----

Rush continues

Things have been going good since i last posted. I even won at York horse races... i must run good. My stats at $50/$100 PLO for 2008 are sick.....

Total Hands: 17048

Vol. Put $ in Pot: 78% (13,298 out of 17,048)

Amount Won:$1,317,889.50

Win rate per 100 hands: $7,730.46

Big Bets Won per 100 hands: 38.65

Raised Preflop: 41.98%

-----

I'm not even sure what to say about these numbers, that's some serious domination for any limit.

Anyone else play this style game and win like this? Anyone play against him and have any insight?

Wow, these numbers are pretty sick, I made an incorrect assumption that he was playing HU. Must be nice to have a luckbox specially built for yourself.....

He would own everyone apart from Benyamine at Omaha.

Ben,

Please stop being a nit and grow some balls and play 200/400 and show these yanks how to play Omaha.

17k hands at Omaha? I am not saying he isn't a big winner or very good but that is so lol. The only comment you can make is nice heater.

Yeah I thought it was HU at first too, seems it's mostly 6max.

50k hand heater? No way it can continue on that smoothly in such a brutal game.

I didn't know people could run that hot in Omaha. I'd love to see Durr's graph next to his.

I think the thing that makes the graph all the more impressive is that this is 2008 only and he also won over $1m playing PLO in 2007 and several hundred thousand in 2005 and 2006 also.

now add the fact that - according to his blog - he´s been semi-broke several times in 2007 and 100 % broke bankroll-wise early in 2008 (he bought a house, but still ...) and this is one of the sickest online poker cvs ever ..
