This doesn't seem right. Ben 'Milkybar Kid' Grundy reports his results from a trip to Las Vegas as follows:
The final result of my Vegas challenge:
Cash Games = +$9212
Online = +$10355
Tournaments = -$11200
Overall = +$8367
Does anything strike you as odd about this? Well call me old fashioned, but I don't see how his online results have anything to do with the fact that he's in Las Vegas. He could have logged onto Betfair's poker site anywhere in the world, including his own bedroom at home where his expenses would have been nil. I probably wouldn't draw attention to this, except Keith 'the Camel' Hawkins was telling people that he broke even on his trip to the first weeks of the WSOP when in fact he lost in the live games there and won playing online in his hotel room. I just don't think that counts!
Don't get me wrong. I respect Keith as a player and a man and I have no reason to disrespect Ben Grundy, whom I only know from what he's written as I've not met him. I just don't understand this business of people flying off to Las Vegas and playing on their computers in their rooms. Apparently Jamie Posner did this and was barely seen out of his room for weeks.
