I find the idea of Ben Grundy as a "poker punk" pretty amusing, bet he seems like a quality guy and I love his blog he was the one I was rooting for on the Will Hill GP. At the end of the day when I'm watching £40/£80 on Crypto i'll be rooting for Bluescouse because the blog adds a little bit of interest and empathy rather than some fruit i've never heard of but blatantly has far better br management  . |

The guy actually reminds me of roland a few years ago. Many of you hadn't heard about roland before his WPT win in france but he was a betfair player and regularly sat with myself on the 2/5 5/10 games. He was a crazy LAG with ridiculous swings and now his game has evolved to the fantastic one that it now is, who's to say Bluescouse wont do the same? A LAG playing within his roll and a TAG shortstacking massively out of his are comparable how? Or are you saying Roland was playing 5/10 with $3000 or so? Roland always played within his roll? Sorry I didnt realise you used to play with him on a daily basis and talk to him on msn all the time. Wait that was me. This guy has a lot of the same plays as roland and has certainly got the same balls of steel- if his game evolves as rolands' has then he will be fine. If you think Roland has good bankroll management you should try spending some time with him- If he does a few hundred grand then its not a problem to him as he will just go win another million, he's that good. Not a bad mentality to have for poker (not one I possess unfortunately). |

He has span up two bankrolls to +50k, from only deposits of a £100 or so.

if he had protected his roll at 50k he could of been worth 500k+ now if he had protected his roll he wouldn't have been upto 50k in the first place let alone be upto 500k. Bankroll management is very important, I think we all agree on that, but it's not the way this guy choses to play. Goodluck to him for chasing the big money, I hope it works out for him (even though I doubt it) |

he will keep chasing money then ending up broke because he cant protect what he earns
if he ever gets up to a reasonable amount he should apply the brakes
otherwise he will never get anywhere apart from broke agaian no matter how good he is

Surely the whole point of winning money at internet poker is to be able to withdraw some of your winnings and spend it on actual stuff. If you keep spinning it up and then losing it, without turning it into cold hard cash, what's the point?

of course how this guy has managed his br in the past does not inspire confidence in his ability to do things differently this time and he may well suffer the same fate as before. if that is the case he seems to have the talent to repeat his successes and may need to do so if continually going bust. however he is very young and who is to say that he will not become br proficent,only time will tell. in the mean time i wish him all the best, theres nothing more i enjoy than someone with the heart to tilt at windmills.

His latest post talks about trying to create bigger pots interesting enough to post on his blog. No big pots, all *under 7k*. Oh lord no  . |

Playing heads up with Psychatog LOL. I don't think there's anyone else on crypto stupid enough to do that.
