Any suggestions for a future 3-Bet, feel free to drop a note in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find PLO wunderkind Ben Grundy living large in London, Pius Heinz looking for help and the sounds of Scotty Nguyen ringing from home games everywhere.
1) Ben Grundy Lives in a Sweet House That PLO Built
It’s good to be the milkybarkid.
Owner of perhaps the best poker graph in history, online high-stakes PLO wunderkind Ben Grundy is reaping the rewards of his dedicated grinding as we speak.
Grundy bought an older house in London (in the tony Chiswick neighborhood) a couple of years ago and has been putting his PLO money into renos to bring it up to sufficient milkybar style.
According to Grundy’s latest blog, renos are finally done, he’s back in the black after a downswing at the end of last year and life is back as it should be:
"In the latter part of last year I dropped around $400k, on Pokerstars and the Euro sites, which is a pretty standard swing for the stakes I play.
"I did get to finally move into my new house after 16 months of work. I basically bought a run down house, found an architect and embarked on a big project to sink the house, do a side and rear extension, have a landscaped garden, and a massive refurbishment.
"It was really stressful at times, and maybe my poker suffered a bit last year and my expenses were insane every month. It was worth it as i absolutely love the house now."
Given the size and location, estimates are he paid anywhere between £2-3 million for it.
Not our personal style, sure. But we’d make do.
