Ben 'MilkyBarKid' Grundy is In The Well - Page 7 - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

He plays on ftp, I was asking conebone69, that ID seems a good player but refuses to play regs., as far as i can gather, havent seen him play in a while so i was thinking the downswing that conebone mentioned might be the reason.

What do you do when it's an average day in London and you're not playing poker?
Gym?
Golf?
Do you have a season ticket at any prem clubs?
And do you fly first class?

Chill, watch TV, go to the pub, out for meals etc

Go to the gym a fair bit and got a trainer.

Nah i support Man Utd. I watch a load of premiership football on TV.

Yep always fly first class now.... once you've started its impossible to stop

Cheers for all the questions.

I think the thread has just about run its course for now. I'm sure it can be unlocked in the future if something interesting happens.

Ben

well played imo. a very interesting thread and lots to learn from it, not least of which is that humility and amazing success at poker are not mutually exclusive.

for those who dont know, Ben writes a blog here http://milkybarkids.blogspot.com/

Sorry for the bump, someone just told me about this well.

Did Ben ever break down his stats for 6-max versus HU, and FTP versus Betfair/Ladbrokes/Crypto?

I guess I can't really dwell on this without seeming like a hater, but I'm surprised nobody else who has played 6-max with Ben commented similarly to Ashman.

Also no matter how good he is the fact that he thinks he has an EV of 10 PTBB per 100 against a "regular" is proof that his self-assessment is warped by running well.

/Hater.

Think he was referring to big blinds not ptbbs but maybe I'm wrong.

A friend of mine said he has like 8k hands from Ben Grundy in one week alone this year. He is suspicious that Ben cherry picks his hands and played far more than 44k hands or whatever it was last year.

This is certainly more consistent with my experience playing with him than that graph is.

Just sayin'.

it's actually 2 years on the graph so that's a legitimate point if he played 8k in one week

Micturition Man, obviously you've not come outright and said that you think he's cherrypicking, but you should still back this up with something. Or get your friend to come in here and explain.
