Ben Grundy recently published his results for the year of 2008.
Grundy have played 34 036 hands in 2008 and he has made a profit[...] Read more » Tip of the day: Do not play PLO against Ben Grundy

I wonder what Ben Grundy(FTP)+All Aliases means, anyone.
I have one goal too, nothing big, keep all of my poker office profit stats in green and over +10BB/100 hands. Now that I finally gave up on casinos those stats could finally start to reflect my bankroll balance.

tbh I have watched and followed quite a lot of Ben's hands, lets face it hes pretty much a fish who gets lucky at the rigth time! some of the hands he raises n plays reraises of........ but hey it works, hes one of 1 in a million player who fishes bad hands, gets lucky n makes alot of money! it works for him but I am certain others would not be so lucky adopting his game play, i.e fish, fish, fish and a little more fish!

No fish is lucky entire year without help. No way. I never watched him play a single hand but stats should count for something. In Omaha it is more important to know what range of cards are your opponents likely to play than Hold`em and if you can manage that you are about to have graphs pointing skywards too. It may look fishy but in fact it is just a mastered Omaha play. Even in Hold`em knowing what Your opponent might have from your out cards can give you the edge sometimes, especially in pots with 3+ players.
In Omaha 3+ players on flop are common situation and they are holding 12+ out of the 52 cards in their hands and folding on flop rather than turn or river can save you lot of money in PL Omaha. Figure the math yourself if you don`t trust me.
a nice $7918 profit per day? 
keep the good job Ben 
if I could have make 10% of that amount per day I won't complain
